Down R. is a simple mantel on which is a cheap mirror and a few brass ornaments, cups, etc. A deal table in front of this has a samovar and small candy box standing on it, and a long strip of cloth lettered "Welcome to the Bride." There are three chairs, each an "auction find," and on the walls are tacked four or five gaudy calendars. (Discovered, Mrs. Rosenstein and Ikey. Mrs. R. wears a short black skirt with a white woolen shawl pinned across her shoulders and has her hair elaborately dressed. She is short and fat. Ikey is seven years old with face and hands dirty.) Mrs R. (throwing down dusting cloth). All righd. The brite should come and see her face in everything. Ikey (picking up scroll from table). Ain´t you goin´ to tack this up, Mom? Mrs. R. That boy forgets nothings. His het is as good as his father´s - gif it here, Ikey. Ikey. I want to put it up. Mrs. R. (snatching cloth from him). Gif it here. You get the latter and holt it for your moder. (Ikey holds a short step-ladder for his mother to climb up to door C. It creaks and trembles with her weight.) Ikey. Look a little out, Mom. Mrs. R. (getting off ladder). Go up there and tack it, Ikey, as I tolt you. (He goes up. Mrs. R. reads the lettering as he spreads it out.) "Velcome to the brite!" Grant! Ikey (lacking the cloth). What is a bride, Moder? Mrs. R. A brite is something generally what isn´t. Before she is married she isn´t a brite and after she is married she is something else alretty.
