[General good-bys. Jinny begins with Ruth at one end, and Austin at the other; he says good-by and shakes hands with each girl.

Gertrude. [Kissing Jinny.] Good-by, and a pleasant trip to Niagara Falls!

Jinny. Not a bit!

Grace. [Kissing Jinny.] Good-by, I believe it's Boston or Chicago!

Jinny. Neither!

Ruth. Good-by, dear, and all the happiness in the world!

[Kisses her.

Jinny. Thank you.

[She turns and goes with the other three girls to the double doors at back, where they are heard talking.

Ruth. Mr. Austin?
