      ACT I.

      (Sitting-room of the DeSmythe home; confusion worse confounded; everything topsy-turvy.

      Mrs. DeSmythe

      on couch;

      Madam Sateene

      and she looking over lace samples, of which they have a great number. Madam in swell street costume.)

      Mrs. De S. (tossing samples in a heap). There's positively nothing like it! Nothing anywhere near it!

      Madam No, and nothing that can be used.

      Mrs. De S. (snatching a bit of lace from the heap). There! That's a lover's knot pattern. Why, it–

      Madam No, that's a sailor's knot. There is a great difference.

      Mrs. De S. (vaguely). I don't see it.

      Madam (patiently). You see the loop in this bends down and in this, it bends–goes up. Every difference in the world, my dear Mrs. De Smythe.

      Mrs. De S. (meekly, but convinced). Wouldn't it do? All bunched up?

      Madam But it is not to be bunched up!

      Mrs. De S. (with a profound sigh). What can we do? And I threatened with an attack!

      Madam I don't know! (rises, sits down, then groans). I am at my wit's end. Let me think.

      Mrs. De S. (with an inspiration). Take the lace off!

      Madam (crushingly). My dear Mrs. De Smythe, the gown is modelled for lace.

      Mrs. De S. (helplessly). Oh!

      (Madam sits in brown study, tapping her forehead.)
