Lee rejoices, for has he not a holiday to-morrow? He meets Eddie, who is employed in a large dry goods emporium. He hears of Lee's luck and wants to join him. They plan. The following morning Eddie has sudden and excruciating pains. The boss sees him. He is excused for the day and duly meets Lee as arranged. They go to the beach and see a party of pretty girls. Lee and Eddie resolve to bathe and get into lovely striped costumes. The girls also make up their minds to take a dip and appear on the beach, not too heavily attired. They coquette with the little wavelets and she is tossed around. She screams. The boys hear the pitiful squeak and Eddie bravely dashes in and rescues the maiden. When they are all dried out, they adjourn for refreshments and the girls invite the boys to accompany them home in their big auto. Arriving at the door Eddie wilts, for the portly gentleman who meets Louise and whom she addresses as pa is none other than his boss. Explanations ensue, and Eddie is forgiven. He is even invited to a dance, a Leap Year ball. He is delighted, but grows serious when he thinks of the question of a dress suit. Lee suggests hiring one, and this is done. He dons the suit and notes a tear in the pants. Lee mends the rent of the rented pants and Eddie sallies forth and is charmed at the beauty of Louise In her party dress. She drops her fan and Eddie stoops to get it. He manages to reach it when words fall to describe his mortification and misery. He backs out, but Louise insists upon knowing what is the matter. He takes a chance and tells her and finds that she is sympathetic and what is more, practical. She hunts up a needle and thread and a shawl. Eddie and she go to a little waiting room and Eddie gets behind a comfortable palm and he takes the shawl while she reaches for the pants and gets to work. Some interfering women persons come in and will insist upon going behind the palm. Eddie sees a door and backs through it, only to find himself in the ball room. With the shawl wound tightly around him he bolts for it through the ball, down the stairs, through the street and never stops until his own door is closed behind him and he is threatening the cheerful idiot, Lee, for laughing at him. The next day Eddie has another headache, which is dispelled by a sweet note from Louise, asking him to call and get a bundle. He does. He gets the bundle, but puts it aside until he goes home, for her invitation to stay awhile is very cordial. Papa sees them together, smiles and leaves them by themselves.
