Enter, Dixah, l, Dinah, (standing icith hands on hips — aside) I'clare! I nebbei did see sich a good-fo'-nnffin' critter as dat Irish ^al am! {tc Biddy) Why on nirth doaii you finish dustin' dis yer room? You jes wnnt to sot in dat ar' cheer and howl, wliile somebody else done do all de work I Can't sing no more'n a jass-ax! Biddy, (throuis duster at Dinah) Take that, ye dirty, ould nig- ger ! I'll larn the likes of ye ter consult me! (picks up duster — rushes at Dinah Dinah. Go long dar, you red-headed, good-fo'-nuffin' trollop I You'll mash my new turban, will you? Dinah snatches up sofa-pillmc — business-— Dina'r strikes Biddy with pilloin, pushing it completely over her head and rushes from the room. After floundering around, Biddy extricates herself and exits, L. Enter, Grace and Helen Morton, r. Helen, (th roving herself on sofa) VYas ever anything more ex- asjierating? Here I've torn a great three-cornered hole in my new suit, and 1 Avas calculating to make an impression on 3'oung Feath- erby this afternoon! Grace. Pshaw ! Who cares for that simpleton? Helen. Tozt have tried hard enough to captivate him, anyway; and I tell you, something must be done pretty soon or we will be driven to the wall. Grace. My dear, such an expression! (seesjofa-pillow on floor) Jumping Jupiter! Look at my pillow ! Helen. That is a very line expression, I suppose! Grace. Well, you can aUbrd to be sarcistic. You gobbled up all '^ TWO AUyr EMILYS ; QB, QUITS. the money we had to lua the house with, to buy your new suit. Little vou c.ire how the h(ni.>e looks if you can dress well. Helen. Well, 1 wonder who took all the money mamma had saved for Belle's wardrobe, to buy a new silk dress? That was M'hen you were trying to catch Feathcrby— before you thought you were going to get Aunt Emily's money. Grace. What does Eelle want of a stack of nice dresses in that pokey old boarding school? You may say what you please, but when we received Belle's letter, saying she had found Aunt Emily rolling in gold, 7jou Mere the first one to propose inviting her here to make us a visit. Helen. And a big fool I was, too, for she has been here almost thirteen weeks, and we have seen no signs of her money yet, and sometimes I doubt if she has any at all— Belle is so fond of playing jokes I She mortifies me almost to death ! Why, only last evening, she asked Featlierby if his ma wove the stufl" his pants were made of. The old idiot ! Enter, Aunt Emily, l. — Helen rises liastlly from sofa, and Grace from chair. Helen, {speaking loudly) Sit right down here on the sofa, auntie dear! You look real tired. Grace, {jostling against Helen in her haste to assist her aunt) Take this rocker — it is much easier than the sofa. Aunt Emily sits on sofa — places sofa pillow at her hade, stripping the cover off, leaving the pillow bo.re. Grace, (aside ?o Helen) The old fool has finished that-pillow^ ! Aunt Emily. 1 feel a cold comin' on. I've jest been out wnrmin' my feet by the kitchen fire, and come in to see if you gals w^ouldn't like to go down to tlie 'pothecar)" shop on an arranc for me. Helen, (loudly) Why, certainly, auntie, we would be delighted to go ! I am sorry you have a cold. Grace, (loudly) To doi your shopping would be the greatest of pleasures! (aside to IIklvik) What in the world do j'ou suppose she *vants? (runs and gets shaicl) Here, auntie, put this over j^our sliouldersi One always feels chilly when a cold is coming on. Aunt. I don't want no shawl — and I do wish you had more man- ners than to break in so Allien a body is talkin'. Here I've been wailin' to git a chance to tell you what to buy for my cold ; but you both talk ter once so — La me! When I w'as a gal, youns: folks showed more respect to their betters. AVell, as I was sayin', I w^ant you to go and buy me five cents worth of snuff, and a couple of pounds of onions, for I've got a desprit cold comin' on, ami nothiu's better than snutfand onions to break it up. Helen. Yes; (aside to Ghack) As if I would buy auythino- like that! 1 wouldn't if she was dying. Aui^T Emily, after nodding a few times, drops her head forward and begins to snore loudly. Grace. Neither would I — not if I never get a cent of her money I We will hire Biddy to get them. Helen. I'm glad Belle isn't here ! She would make us the laugh- ing stock of all our acquaintnncrs, by rp.lating the dilemma into Wliich this dreadful old woman lias driv-en us. Grace. There is something stiange about this affair. You re- TWO AUNT EJIILY;S; OB, QUITS, B member that Belle, soon after cretting settled at boarding-school, wrote us that she had found Aunt Einlly, and that she was "rollint^ in o:old." ^ Helen. Yes; and v/hen I wrote, tellhig her that we were de- lighied to know that the old lady was so well off, and that we had invited her to make us a visit, she answered not a word. Enter, Mrs. Morton, r., with telegram, Mrs. 3forton. Girls, I have just received a telegram from Belle, She is coming home to-day. Helen. Indeed I Grace, {reaching for telegram) Let me read it, mother! (takes telegram ami glances at it — Mrs. Morton sits in ,rocker) Why, Helen, she is comins: home to-day on the two-thirty train, and her teacher is coming with her! Helen. And it is past eleven o'clock, now ! What shall we do? Grace. Well, we must telegraph to her not to come, Helen. Yes, we must; for it will be impossible for us to keep up appearances through the whole vacation. Mrs. 31. Why, dear daughters ! You will do nothing of the kind. I am very mncli astonished at such a proposition. You surely must wish to have your sister spend her vacation at home. Gracs. Well, we do not wish her to come home, for she would bL; sure to offend Aunt Emily, and frustrate all our p'an?. 31rs. 31. It is useless lor you to make further r*^moDstrance, as the}-- have probably started before this time. Belle and her teacher will come as she has planned. Aunt, {suddenlg awakes — speaks sharply to girls) Massy sakcs alive! Hain't you started yit? Grace. We will go now, dear auntie. Aunt. You're goin' down to tlie shanty P Well, why on airth can't you git my stuff/«s;? Grace, (shouts) We will I (girls exit r. Enter, Dinah, l. — flour on her hands and sleeves rolled up. Dinah. Xow, missus, it am no use. You mus' jess keep dis yoro (pointinij to Aunt Emily) bodderin' ole ripperate out ob de kitchen or I'll break slie tarnal ole neck — dat I will ! (Aunt Emily leans forioard — tries to hear conversation 3Irs. 31. ^V'hy, Dinah, what is the trouble! Dinah, (again pointing to Aunt Emily) Dat dar meddlin' ole she debble done come out in de kitchen to warm she feet in de oben, an she took off she great canal boats ob shoes, an' done sot 'em right in my i^an ob riz bread. She done got no mo' manners dan a ole elephant. Aunt, (shaking her flst at DiK ah) You lie'n old black nigger ! Tryin' to spile my repetation, are ye? I never told you that 1 never eat a banana nor saw an elephant! Dinah. Doan yer 'gin to call me no names ! I nebber said nothin' 'bout yer ealin' — 3Irs. 31. Hush, Dinah! Leave the room! Dinah, (to Aunt Emily) De day you die, dar'll be an ole woman hung, I b'lebe! Dat I do! (exit l. 31 rs. 31. (goes to sofa — sits beside Aunt Emily — speaks loudly) Don't mind what Dinah says, Aunt Emily. Did I tell you I am expecting my daughter Belle to come home to-day? You have not e TWO AUNT EMILYS ; OB, QUIT'^ seen her since she was a child. She is sixteen years old and looliS very much as my sister Emily did at her age. Aunt, Well, I never see a nigger ?/ if, that wasn't as sassy as pizen ! (leans bach and closes her eyes Mrs. jM. Yoa remember after father and mother died, we chil- dren were separated, and 1 have not heard from my sister Emily for years — I do not even know if she is living. Aunt, (rousing up) Yes, I rememheV that old white hoss Sam 'ised to have: he was all crippled up and spavined, tool Enter, Helen and Geace, r. Grace, {placing hag of onions and package of snuff on Aunt Emily's lap) . Here are the articles you desired for your cold. I hope they v^'ill prove efficacious, (aside) I certianly think they ought to ! Aunt Emily turns onions out in her lap — then opens package of snuff and takes a pinch: Mrs. M. I must ?peak to Dinah about the dinner. (exit l. Aunt, (sneezes several times) My goodniss! this is powerful snuff — (sneezes) — hain't it? Lordy 1 Guess you got your mone3^s worth! (sneezes) lx& s>tvong as kiann pepper! Guess 1 won't take any more jist now ! (sneezes) I'll pu-t this in my pocket till bye'n bye. Helen, It must be powerful to make you sneeze so, auntie; but I suppose that is all the better for your cold. Grace, (fo Helen) I'll bet Biddy played a trick on her! That I'sn't sn?/.^ at all — that's cayenne pepper, or I'm no judge ! (sneezes Helen. Well, she seems to be quite i^leased with it. (sneezes) Heavens ! (old lady continues to sneeze — girls do same — bell rings outsMe Grace. Here's Belle I (sneezes) Mercy sakes! (sneezes Helen. WItli her teacher ! Oh, those dreadful onions ! Grace.

Homed rattlesnakes! What is it. a siDider? Belle. 1 meant your cap. You are nervous, auntie. Aunt. I declare, I never did see sich works afore : The peart hussy! (Helen /ie/ps her to replace headgear Grace. Belle, why in the world did you do that? We have been trying for the past thirteen weeks to keep her in good humor and now you have undone it all. Belle.

The very same — and our ivealthy Aunt Enul}^ for whom it will be needless to buy snuff or treat on onions, as she has no Idea uf departing this world at present. Miss M. "My child! Helen. Belle, how could you ? Belle. I had no idea of playing a joke when I wrote about Aunt Emily, and I had entirely forgotten that mamma's aunt bore the same name; but, reriiembcr that I owed you this for j-our o-reedi- iiess. Miss iV. I understand that you thought vour ojreat aunt possessed $ TWO AUNT EMILYS ; OB, qVlTS. property, and hoped by your land treatment to induce her to re- member you in lier ^vill. Mv dear girls, that was a selfish motive, yet I am glad that you have been kind to her. She was not always fretful and hard to please; but once stood between the cold world and her orphaned nieces— your mother and myself. In the future 1 shall see that she is i)rovided with a home and comforts, {to Aunt Emily) Auntie, have you forgotten Emily Morris? Aunt. Noises?

Biddy, {giggling) Faith, an it sarved 'em right, the decateful oraturesi And it's divil a bit they'll care about the ould Aunt Emily now!
