It was creditably produced and one departed from the performance with a feeling the guild could \\·ell be proud of its farewell appearance for the season. The action of the play took one from the ante-room of the Shaftsburv Avenue Woman's club, London, to castle in Italy in early April, the month of enchantment.

Lyman, Jr., all enacted the characters they portrayed, pleasingly.
