 Irene Randolph is convinced she has not long to live. Natur- ally she worries over what will become of her husband after she is gone, and finally decides to pick out a wife for him. She chooses Emily Ladew, an old college mate, who, unknown to her, has recently broken an en- gagement with Richard Bel den, Irene's brother. In this she takes into her confidence her uncle, John Belden who en- ters into the scheme for the fun he will get out of it.
 Finally between them they induce Miss Ladew to enter the plan. However, she, for reas- ons of her own is not unwilling. Irene then introduces her huS- band and he likes Miss Ladew from first sight. Irene does not like this at all.
 She then tries by underhand methods to break up the plan, and discourage Miss Ladew. This leads into entanglements that must be seen to be appre- ciated. However everything is cleared up when Richard re- news his engagement with Miss Ladew and Irene decides to quit being ill.
 Irene is really a good wife but a little misguided on some lines. She is not what one would call a hypocrondriac She is inclined to forget the happi- ness of others in trying to pro- vide for Stuart's.
 Stuart is the original faith fu1 husband. He loves his wife dearly, and makes great sacrifices for what he thinks, her "bad health" When Irene mixes him up with Miss Ladew, and tells a1T sorts of lies about him he is still faith full to her. However she does not know it and still misunder- stnads everything he says or does.
 Emily Ladew is insulted by lrene's proposal that she marry Stuart. So she goes into the plan for revenge. She gets it. she renews her engage ment with Richard and that is how the trouble is cleared up.
 The most hood winked per son in the play is Richard. He believes everything said about l cruelty to his wife and | nearly has a fight over it. He finally emerges with clean record. and Miss Ladew to boot.
 John Belden, an old bache- i Tor uncle, is not of much use to He is inclined to look on the whole thing as a source i of amusement. When things begin to look too bad he dis closes the whole plan. That ! Is the only time he is of use.
 Although Irene is convinced | she is to die she is determined i to put up an awful struggle. | Nora, the maid, is kept busy bringing in powders, medicines agents and the like. i She IS greatly relieved when | Mrs. Randolph determines to quit playing sick.
