THE "MIND THE PAINT" GIRL
THE FIRST ACT
_The scene is a drawing-room, prettily but somewhat showily decorated.
The walls are papered with a design representing large clusters of
white and purple lilac. The furniture is covered with a chintz of
similar pattern, and the curtains, carpet, and lamp-shades
correspond._
_In the wall facing the spectator are two windows, and midway between
the windows there is the entrance to a conservatory. The conservatory,
which is seen beyond, is of the kind that is built out over the
portico of a front-door, and is plentifully stocked with flowers and
hung with a velarium and green sun-blinds. In the right-hand wall
there is another window and, nearer the spectator, a console-table
supporting a high mirror; and in the wall on the left, opposite the
console-table, there is a double-door opening into the room, the
further half of which only is used._
_In the entrance to the conservatory, to the right, there is a low,
oblong tea-table at which are placed three small chairs; and near-by,
on the left, are a grand-piano and a music-stool. Against the piano
there is a settee, and on the extreme left, below the door, there is
an arm-chair with a little round table beside it. At the right-hand
window in the wall at the back is another settee, and facing this
window and settee there is a smaller arm-chair._
