But after Sissy's daughter marries a musicomedian, and after Sissy's husband admits clandestine friendship for the free-and-easy Rosie, and after Patchogue society ostracizes Sissy's entire household, the curtain bangs down on a scene of beer-drinking good-fellowship between the aging handmaidens of Buffoonery...
