The members of the Aid Society wear plain, rather old-fashioned street dresses, with the exception of Miss Loomis, whose dress should be so old-fashioned as to be amusing. In the first scene Mrs. Banks wears a plain house dress with white apron. Mrs. David Brown should be dressed neatly but plainly, and Dorothy wears shirtwaist and skirt. Mrs. Worthington should appear in an elaborate negligee, and Gladys in a pretty house dress, while Marie wears black dress, white apron and cap. Mildred wears sweater, cap and dark skirt. Beneath the sweater is worn a middy blouse. The first and last scenes take place in Mrs. Banks’ sitting room. A few chairs, a bookcase, pictures and table will be required, also two wooden boxes, exactly alike. In the second scene a poorly furnished kitchen or living room is represented. Plain wood chairs should be used, while a red cover should be upon the table. Mrs. Brown should have a large mending basket beside her. The Christmas box should be in the foreground. The third scene should represent the living room of an apartment, and should be as handsomely furnished as possible. The Christmas box should be at the side of the room, but before unpacking, should be drawn into the foreground. |
