Jack Holmes, a modest wage earner, resolves to give the girls a treat, and also primps up. They both select the park as the place of vantage. Jack is fortunate in encountering Bill Smith, who is taking a spin in his automobile. Smith invites Jack to get in, which invitation is cheerfully accepted. Bess sits down on one of the benches and is watching the promenaders when a drunken hobo sits down by her side and commences to annoy her. The auto comes up just in time and the two boys jump out and spring to the rescue. The "boozer" is chased on his way and Jack gallantly sees the fair one home. The well-appointed make-ups of each impress the other, and both believe that they have encountered a scion of society. Bess is quite impressed and invites Jack to call and meet mother and have dinner. She borrows from well-disposed friends, some fine dresses, a handsome dinner service and a maid. Jack hires a full dress suit. The deception is carried out admirably and Jack falls in love, but, of course, thinks his case is hopeless with such fine people. Bess encourages, but can hardly hope to win out. Next morning at work they reason to themselves and resolve to end the deception. Each writes to the other, making a clean breast. Going to mail the letters they meet in the corridor, the epistles of confession are exchanged and both are made happy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
