Love finds a way, that in very plain, when Sam and Doris make use of their father's new hat to convey their love missives to each other, because Doris' father objects to his clerk's attention to his daughter. Doris Mason and Sam meet whenever they can and her father is not altogether unsuspecting, very evidently, when he hurries into the sitting room. Sam escapes without being seen. The next morning Doris sends a note to Sam by placing it in the sweat-band of papa's hat. Sam is working hard at his desk when his boss arrives at the office, but he does not fail to reach for the hat as soon as Mason places it on the rack and extract Doris' note from the band. Later in the day, Sam deposits his note in the band and upon the boss's arrival at home for lunch, Doris finds the following epistle: "Dearie: Let's elope. Pack up and meet me at the fountain in Riverside tonight." Doris quickly answered it as follows: "Dearest Buddy: The fountain at Riverside will be most convenient for me. We can leave on the 7:30. Love and kisses." This is deposited in Pop's hat and he hurriedly leaves the house. Mr. Mason, feeling the need of a shave, stops in the barber's, and after having his face scraped, takes Henpeck's hat in mistake for his own. When Henpeck gets shaved he hastily picks up Mason's hat and goes home. Mrs. Henpeck takes his hat and the note falls out. She reads it and goes out determined to confront the brazen huzzy. Henpeck dashes after her. In the meantime. Mason discovers his mistake and goes to the barber's to learn who carried off his hat. Henpeck comes in with the same purpose. Explanations follow. Mason guesses where the note came from and together the two men do a marathon for the fountain. Here they find Mrs. Henpeck giving Doris a piece of her mind. Mason pacifies her and Doris confesses. While this is going on, Sam makes his appearance. Mr. Mason advises them to elope as they had planned and sends them rejoicing on their way.
