9 Male 6 Female

Corliss Archer, going on sixteen, is a trial to her family and at the same time a pure delight

She can't stand not being grown up, and when Private Earhart is entertained by the Archers, Corliss plays the young lady and almost precipitates a catastrophe

In fact she considers it a point of honor not to give away the secret that Mildred is the girl her brother Lennie has married

It started when Mildred and Corliss sold kisses for charity and Mildred was accused by the Archers of being a bad influence

This led to complications that seemed serious to the parties concerned, but are delightfully funny to others

Meantime, Lennie became engaged to Mildred in spite of the feud between the Pringles - Mildred's family - and the Archers, and Corliss had to be let in on the secret

That was nothing compared with what happened when the Pringles, on what seemed good evidence, gleefully informed the Archers that Corliss is going to have a baby

As a matter of fact it is Mildred who is in that situation and Corliss, sworn to secrecy, will not speak

This being so, the Archers and Pringles take Corliss' silence as an admission of guilt

Not until the very end is Corliss cleared
