Karisto Oy, $c1916. Tapio Riikonen "Kun Kyöpelinkellot ne soivat : Yksinäytöksinen huvinäytelmä by Aadolf Luomanen" is a one-act comic stage play written in the early 20th century. The work lampoons village matchmaking, spinsterhood, and gender expectations, following a rural household’s lively name-day gathering where courtship schemes collide and resolve. The story centers on Kaisa, a capable but aging farmer’s daughter, her practical mother, a widower butcher who fancies her, and the simple, pliable bachelor Heikki. The butcher first teases Kaisa about spinsterhood and dangles Heikki as a suitor, while a gaggle of young guests arrives for Kaisa’s name day, flirting, joking, and trying folk divinations about marriage. Heikki shuffles in, awkward and hopeful. The butcher then tricks everyone outside with talk of a wondrous sky to get Kaisa alone, drops the ruse, and proposes sincerely; she accepts. When the others return, the engagement is announced, Heikki blusters in protest, and the evening ends in laughter, song, and a celebratory dance.
