- It seemed hard to Andy that he had to begin every day with a lecture from his mother on the subject of his personal appearance, and so he was in a bad humor when he met his particular chum, Lanky. On the way to the office Lanky did all in his power to cheer him up, finally showing him the picture of a pretty girl. Under the picture was the name "Lizzie Weldon." Not being able to get Lanky's copy of the paper, Andy invested in a copy for himself, and feasted on the sight of the pretty face at odd moments during the day. His mother became quite worried over him. His appetite was gone, but, more serious than ever, his antipathy for soap and water seemed to have disappeared, and once, on entering his room, she discovered him furiously blacking his shoes. A week or so afterward, Andy came face to face with his affinity, a full-sized picture of her, adorning a billboard. Off he rushed to the theater, but, in spite of his every effort, he could not get by the door keeper at the stage entrance. Suddenly, struck with an idea, he ran to a florist's and asked for "a nickel's worth of American beauties." The florist's answer dampened his spirits, but not for long. As he was passing a garden he saw a lady busily weeding the flower beds. Seeing a chance of arriving at his original plan after all, Andy struck a bargain whereby he would weed the rest of the beds in exchange for a bouquet. Working with a will, he soon finished the job, and wandered off in triumph with a huge bouquet. Slipping by the door keeper, he went into the theater and waited for his affinity to appear. Soon he had his chance. Presenting the bouquet and dropping on his knee, he declared his love for her, much to her delighted surprise. Just then her husband and grown son appeared on the scene and Andy, hardly knowing how to take this unexpected state of things, took his bouquet and slipped away.—Moving Picture World synopsis
