Plenty of children there are in our city, Who have no fathers or mothers to pity; Plenty of people whose working and heeding Scarcely can keep all their dear ones from needing. Now, if I came every year in December, These are the ones I would surely remember. Once on a beautiful Christmas you know Jesus our Saviour was born here below, Patiently stooping to hunger and pain, So He might save us, His lost ones, from shame; Now if we love Him, He bids us to feed All His poor brothers and sisters who need. Blessed old Nick! I was sure if you knew it, You would remember and certainly do it; This year, at least, when you empty your pack, Pray give a portion to all who may lack. Then, if there's anything left and you can Bring a small gift to wee Peter Pan. _--Emily H. Miller.--Adapted._ MRS. O'TOOLE (_applauding vigorously_). Wasn't that dandy? Sure, little Mary Ann has a wonderful education, so she has! MRS. MULLIGAN. She takes after her own mother. I was just like her when I was that age. MRS. O'TOOLE. And you're just like her still, Mollie Mulligan. Sure you're the sunshine of Mulligan Alley and the belle of Shantytown. MRS. MULLIGAN. Whist now! It's covered I am wid blushes. But, hush! I think the show is about to begin. ACT III. _Curtain rises disclosing the same scene. Three long sheets hang on the line, reaching down to the floor and extending clear across the stage. The children are behind the sheets. The line is about three and one-half feet high. The table sets obliquely in front of the door at R. It is covered with a sheet or long cloth reaching to the ground._ PATSY _and_ TEDDY _form the dwarf._ PATSY, _coatless, has a long pair of striped stockings on over his arms, and a pair of shoes on his hands, ornamented on insteps with large rosettes._ TEDDY _stands behind him and thrusts his arms as far as they will go under_ PATSY'S _armpits. A kind of a tunic covers both. Wear a large crimped frill or an enormous turned-down collar._ PATSY _stands behind table and places his shoe-clad hands upon it, which represent the feet of the dwarf. The door curtains are fastened together a few inches above his head, concealing_ TEDDY. PATSY _must lean slightly over the table or the legs will not appear to support the body._ _When the curtain is up, enter_ MATSY _from L. dressed as a Showman._ MATSY (_bows to audience, speaks in a loud voice, using megaphone_). Come and see Jumbo, Samson symbolical! Come and see Slivers, Clown really comical! Come and see Zip, the foremost of freaks! Come and see Palestine's Sinister Sheiks! Eager Equestriennes, each unexcelled, Most mammoth menagerie ever beheld, The Giant, the Fat Girl, the Lion-faced Man, Aerial Artists from far-off Japan, Audacious Acrobats shot from a gun, Don't miss the greatest show under the sun!
