Determined to make an impression at a seaside resort, she borrows the finery of a friend and prepares to take the place by storm. To her chagrin she discovers that there is but one eligible man to the resort, Claude, who is adored by all of the girls. Lizzie resorts to strategy and induces the editor of the local paper to insert an item to the effect that Miss Edith Krocker, heiress to the Krocker millions, is spending a week at the Seashore Hotel, incognito. Then, with the assistance of the porter, she creates the impression that she is Miss Krocker. The gullible Claude finds himself in the midst of a violent love affair with the supposed heiress and pledges of constancy are exchanged by the "sad sea waves." However, the time for parting arrives and Lizzie hastens back to the underwear counter, where she draws a vivid picture of her conquest. But the irony of Fate. Her first customer is Claude and the ideals of many dreams are rudely shattered. Written by
