Coddle. Well, hang delay, children! I’ll engage Dr. Harrold for a week from to-day, and invite all our friends (to the audience) to witness the wedding. Church of the Holy Cross, remember. No low church for me. All who mean to come will please signify it by clapping their hands, and the harder the better. Not many refusals here. (Curtain falls.)

[HITTY’S SERVICE FLAG]
A Comedy in Two Acts
By Gladys Ruth Bridgham
Eleven female characters. Costumes, modern; scenery, an interior. Plays an hour and a quarter. Hitty, a patriotic spinster, quite alone in the world, nevertheless hangs up a service flag in her window without any right to do so, and opens a Tea Room for the benefit of the Red Cross. She gives shelter to Stella Hassy under circumstances that close other doors against her, and offers refuge to Marjorie Winslow and her little daughter, whose father in France finally gives her the right to the flag. A strong dramatic presentation of a lovable character and an ideal patriotism. Strongly recommended, especially for women’s clubs.
Price, 25 cents
