Bud Woodbridge was the victim of a heartless young lady—Grace Tyler. Bud wooed her in the old eloquent self-sacrificing manner and due to her seeming indif- ference to him and affections for Preston DeWitt he nearly had a complete nervous breakdown. When the physician, Dr. Sumner, took the matter in hand he got his mind off the adored one and her careless cruelty, by telling the young man that he was the victim of germs. The physician agreed to effect, in a month's time, a cure which he accomplished by placing Virginia Xelva, who had just come to his office as a working girl, in charge of the foolish swain. He played the girl's jealousy against that of the muse, an antidote to open Grace's eyes and inflict a real punishment upon her for she really did care for Bud. After the doctor had explained all love diseases and the treatment for them the nurse administered the treatment to the physician. This proved a marked success, for the doctor fell in love with the nurse, who turned out to be an heiress. Due to the faithfulness and efficiency of the coaches, Avanelle Brigner and LaClede Markle, the play was one of the big successes of the year. E. B.
