The Story

Fat Sing, a prosperous old merchant of the town of Ping Pong, is tired of life and weary of

wealth. He decides to disappear. Before doing so, he arranges to bequeath all his property to

Ithe indigent orphans of his native town, thus dispossessing his son. Sing Fong, who has to shift for

himself. The business remains in Sing Fong's hands but the profits are to go to the orphans. The

exact terms of Fat Sing's will are not to be made public for a year. In the meantime, Hoy Tee

Toy, an elderly spinster who is chaperoning three charming Chinese girls, tries to marry one or

the other of them off to Sing Fong, as she believes he is to inherit the old merchant's money. Sing

Fong is not anxious to marry any of the three belles. A poor fisherman has a niece, Lotus Blossom,

whom he describes to Sing Fong as a beautiful doll, and he offers to sell her as such to Sing Fong.

This results in the meeting of Lotus Blossom and Sing Fong with the result of love at first sight. Lotus

Blossom, with refreshing ingenuousness, does the love-making. Sing Fong is not too enthusiastic as

he realizes thai] he is practically a pauper.

At length Fat Sing disappears, and the populace, under the impression that Sing Fong is now

the richest and most influential citizen, elects him to the office of chief magistrate of Ping Pong. The

second act shows how he is pestered by the women who want to see him married, and how he retal-

iates by issuing some more or less effective and embarrassing edicts. At last he resolves to marry none

but a wealthy orphan, thinking thus to end his troubles because liiere are none of that type of orphan

in the city. The denouement of the story shows h jw he is very agreeably and unexpectedly de-

ceived in this, and how he not only falls heir, a fter all, to the Fat Sing millions but to the idol of

his heart as well.

The comedy element is furnished largely by Mr. Juscot Karfair, an American reformer, the

efforts of the three belles to "land" Sing Fong in tlieir matrimonial nets, and by Mush Lush, a woman

hater. Hoy Tee Toy also contributes her share of the comedy. The three belies are not left in the

lurch finally, for in the persons of Mush Lush, Wun Tun and Chunk they find what they may prop-

erly be supposed to regard as "the next best thing."
