A vonng woman, introduced into Die household in the face of relatives who wait patiently for the end and tire inher;Dmico of a fortune, is a member oi " ! no Follies.” She plays her part well, spreads her youthful buoyancy over the old man's woes, coaxing him back to partial health. The attempt of Nina Lcflingw/ill, a distant relative, to sbufiio the cards in such a way that she, her brother, and her cousin whom she means to jmfttry will bo beneficiaries of Woodruffs will, gives opportunity for considerable detail of the comedy-drama order. “ The Follies Girl ” turns oat to bo the wife of the grandson Ned. A tiny baby coming on the scene cements more securely the friendship between the old man and the young wife, and entirely outdoes tiro best-laid plans of the plotting relatives.
