Miss Winters, head of the entertainment committee, accompanied by a charming group of ladies, goes to the camping ground and tells the tall, handsome captain that a dance will be given that evening. Miss Winters asks the captain for a list of the officers and he directs her to Sergeant-Major Brainerd, saying that he will give her a list. Not being familiar with the etiquette of the army, Miss Winters demands a list of all the officers, non-commissioned as well as commissioned, and invites them all. That evening the tents of the commissioned and non-commissioned officers are scenes of lively primping. The officers make themselves as handsome as they can. The captain is less prompt than the others and when they come to get him they find him, face covered with lather, in the act of shaving. The commissioned officers decide that they will be in better form if they arrive at the dance a half hour late. But the non-commissioned officers believe in being prompt and are there on time. They are enthusiastically treated by the maids of Elkton, with whom they make a great hit, and when, a half hour later, the proud and haughty commissioned officers arrive, all of the girls are engaged and the tardy seniors have no one to entertain them. The captain orders all the non-commissioned officers to return to the camping grounds. But the ladies are true to their first admirers and insist on accompanying the banished juniors from the room. Gathered together in a little group in the deserted ballroom, the commissioned officers are sore-vexed over the turn of affairs. Suddenly the captain spies a woman in an adjoining room. She is sitting with her back to him, "Ah, we will dance," says the gallant captain, "according to Seniority." But Oh, what a disappointment when he finds that she is ugly. The captain and his staff pass out as quickly as they can, no longer enthusiastic about dancing. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
