The scene is set in a small town,
and the case of characters Is made up
largely of members of the Holy Name
society with their spiritual director,
Father Hyland Dude" AVeeman is
the one male character who does not
belong to this society. He is a type Of
boy well known 10 people of the pres
ent day. His father has become rich
rather suddenly, and with the increase
OF wealth his son, the Dude" Wee
man OF ne play, wishes to leave the
associates with whom he has lived for
years, in order to seek another class
which he neither understands nor ad-
mires, though he forces himself TO be-
lieve he does.
Dude" accustomed to mingle with
the good natured, middle class boys
of the parish club, begins TO take on
an uppish air and TO spurn his old
time playmates. He is so bored by the
everyday manners of his companions
that he decides to go to a fashionable
school in the east, where he may join
all the swell" clubs, meet people of
a better set" use up his money in
social functions and as a result make
his name known in exclusive circles.
Warnings are of no avail to him-not
even his pastor, Father, Hyland, is
able to persuade him to follow dir
ferent course.
The climax Of the play comes short
" after Dudes" arrival at college,
when his father fails in business. His
rich friends, hearing of his trouble.
agree to throw him overheard without
ceremony, and let him make his way
as hest he can. AS a result he is left
alone and like the prodisal son he re-
turns to his old companions, appre-
ciaiing for the first time their true
worth and thoroughly realizing that
wealth never made a man of anyone
though it has made fools of no small
number. The concluding scene is the
reception of Weeman into the Holy
Name society among his own large
hearted friends, who live simple but
beautiful life.
