the bells is again distinctly heard, which gives way to music-"The Roast Beef of Old England."

(The two movements in picture A are permissible to render the story complete. The movement to the attitude of listening must be well done, else the effect will be lost.)

10. "SWEET IF THE NIGHT BE—AH! BEWARE THE MORNING."

(A.) A girl and boy being conducted from a ball. They have their wraps round them, and their hands are full of crackers, oranges, etc. This must be apparent to the audience. Footman, in livery, and maid-servant attending them. The picture only presents them as walking across the stage, but, of course, the figures motionless.

Music: Waltz time.

(B.) At R. and L. of stage, two beds, with boy in one and girl in other. Their faces well powdered, so as to give them the appearance of being ill. Table in c. with the oranges and crackers. Both children are sitting up in bed making wry faces. In front of table, boy

dressed as a doctor, emptying a liquid from a medicine bottle into a glass. At back of stage, the maid-servant.

Music: "Run for the Doctor."

(A.) At L. of stage, a boy and girl, dressed as "Papa" and "Mamma," somewhat elderly looking. At R., a maid, holding a child by the hand. The child's head is turned towards L., as if imploring that he or she was unwilling to go to bed.

Music: "Hush-a-bye, Baby."

[blocks in formation]

(B.) A child, alone, in c. of stage, in long white night-dress, holding out a toy. Arms stretched at full length. A smile on the face. If a girl, the toy should be a doll. If a boy, a horse and cart.

Music: "Boys and girls come out to play."

(The position of the child, in picture B, must

be carefully arranged, and the expression must be a happy one. The face should be three-quarters full towards audience.)
