He also writes his best girl to come down. Chaperone? Why, that's fixed! His elderly aunt will attend to that. Both respond favorably, and he prepares to receive them when he gets word from his aunt, who has gone out, that her mother is ill and she will be unable to return. That's a fine situation for the bachelor! How on earth is he going to get a chaperone for this girl? While he is wondering what to do, his chum arrives. In a torrent of brotherly confidence, he tells him what a predicament he is in. All he gets in return, however, is sympathy, until he conceives a bold plan. The girl doesn't know his aunt, so why not have his portly chum pass for her? Said chum promptly objects to donning skirts, but the other implores, and so strongly pleads the cause of a courtship in jeopardy that his pal consents. Getting into the skirts is a fine old job, but he finally hurdles the waist lines; no sooner has he dressed and discarded the cigar butt when the lady visitor enters. The chum welcomes her like a good aunt; in fact, too good, for he kisses her again and again; the bachelor is furious, but he dare not object; any fellow's aunt may kiss his best girl. Well, all through the visit the bogus aunt works the situation for many a kiss and hug, when something happens: The real aunt returns! When she comes into the reception room and sees the being in skirts that uses a private moment by putting its feet on the table and smoking a liberal perfecto, she promptly goes off in a faint. The couple is only in the next room and when they hear the commotion they rush in. Can you imagine how long a man in disguise can stay without shedding his skirts when he has a fainting woman on his hands? Just figure the finish of this picture.
