Wall puts it in his pocket and forgets about it, as his mind is just then occupied by one of the clerks who asks him to take down the articles in the next day's reduction sale. Having no paper, Wall writes the note on his cuff. On his way home that night he meets Katherine just as she is getting out of an automobile belonging to a chauffeur friend of hers. Wall thinking her an heiress, manages to scrape an acquaintance with her, and giving her the card he had received from Astorbilt, poses as that wealthy individual. On his arrival home he puts his shirt in the laundry and Katherine, who works in the laundry Wall patronizes, sees the ad that he had written on his cuff and decides to take advantage of it. The next day she goes to the store and the first person she sees behind the counter is Wall; she leaves in disgust without buying anything. Wall, when he receives his laundry back, finds a note in it saying that the sender will take advantage of the information on the cuff. Wall goes to the laundry to expostulate about it and finds, bending over the washtub, the girl of his dreams. Both exchange recriminations and accusations which eventually lead to friendship, then love. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
