• Title page: _Milliner’s Holiday_—Changed to “_Milliners’ Holiday_”,
the correct title of the play.

but it doesn’t!—Changed “should’nt” to “shouldn’t”.
• p. 8: FANNY. (R ) Ask mamma!—Added a period after “R”.
• p. 12: O’WALKER. (_impatiently_) Oh) confound it—there—Changed
closing parenthesis after “Oh” to an exclamation mark.
