Close-fisted old father
by deickemeyer2019-02-11

When the salesman to whom it belongs arrives he asks for the package but the father cannot find it. The salesman attends the ball and discovers it on exhibition on the form of the landlord's daughter. It makes a hit and he sells the entire lot to an old customer present. Later, the girl explains and receives the gown as a present. It becomes her bridal costume and she is married to the rube she loves. -..."
