Mary. I sent Belinda for cigars. Alfaretta is sick to-day.
Pink T. What hour do you open the club house?
Mary. At eight o’clock, Miss Hykight, according to regulation.
Pink T. Is your help all here at that hour?
Mary. Promptly, Miss.
Pink T. When do members appear?
Mary. Seldom before noon, and most of them after four. You see the trouble of dressing in this old regalia keeps them away. We ought to abolish such an ancient rule and admit the modern dress.
Pink T. That is a club matter.
Mary. (Vexed.) Oh, it’s not for me to say. I just suggested. Miss President, the Swiss cheese for the bar is hardly up to the last lot, I think. Will you come and taste it? (Exeunt L.)
