Patty is a bright‑eyed socialite who delights in the sparkle of a well‑chosen dress and the gentle art of harmless flirtation. As she prepares for a Valentine’s soirée—her gown a cascade of white lace, blue velvet love‑knots and a mischievous little Cupid perched on her shoulder—her confidante Nan teases her about “breaking hearts” while Louise, her ever‑faithful maid, readies a fur‑trimmed cloak for the night’s adventure.
The party at the newly arrived Marie Homer’s elegant Wimbledon apartment promises a lively mix of admirers, music, and the promise of witty banter. Amid swirls of red hearts and golden darts, Patty’s charm draws a circle of hopeful suitors, each eager to win a smile from the girl who loves a good laugh as much as a pretty dress. Listeners will be swept into the sparkle of early‑twentieth‑century romance, where every glance, compliment, and playful tease sets the stage for a delightful evening of mirth and matchmaking.
