"I cheerfully accept the guardianship of your daughter Sylvia, during your trip abroad. You say she is rather mischievous and self-willed, but I am sure we will get along famously together." This is what Mr. Dudley Laurence wrote to his old friend. In response, Sylvia makes her appearance in the doctor's home. She is very attractive, but certainly up to all sorts of pranks. Her first manifestation is with a bouquet of flowers which she fills full of pepper and presents to the doctor, causing him to sneeze immoderately. While surprised, he cannot suppress his laughter, and with it all, rather enjoys her lively cheerfulness with which she fills his home. Three months later she becomes acquainted with one of the doctor's friends, young Benson, who proposes to her and asks Doctor Laurence's consent. It is then that the doctor realizes that he has grown to love Sylvia himself. He does not refuse Benson, who joyfully imparts the news to Sylvia. Sylvia is not so joyful apparently
