==Synopsis==
''Boston Daily Globe'', December 28, 1886
“Pa” is a widower and wears a wig. He has three daughters, the eldest of whom has reached the rather advanced age, for a marriageable daughter, of 35. The next in line is 30. The youngest, still in short clothing is 17. “Pa” is possessed of the laudable ambition of providing his daughters with wealthy husbands. In order to scale down the age of the eldest to a marketable tenderness, the youngest is forced to remain a baby and confine herself to dolls and the “Chatterbox.” Pa’s only income seems to be the interest on the $20,000 left to a dog, of which he is the administrator. Consequently, when the millionaire father of Sydney Bumps expresses a wish that his son should unite himself with one of Pa’s daughters, Pa makes the effort to forward the contract. Successive endeavors to unite young Bumps, who is a farcical cross between a country bumpkin and an idiot, to the eldest and the next in line are unsuccessful. Pa’s troubles come to an end, however, when the rustic child of fortune elopes with the baby.〔”Pa” at the Park-Boston Daily Globe (Boston, Massachusetts); Tuesday, December 28, 1886; pg. 5〕
