He writes, addressing the letter simply, "Miss Forster," asking permission to call. Elsie gets the note and joyously answers "yes," but Grace, her sister, sees the letter and is quite sure he means her. The two girls prepare to receive Buddy and when he arrives, they greet his effusively. He tries to talk to both at once and is getting a little confused when Grace quietly tells Elsie her mother wants to see her. After the reluctant Elsie has withdrawn, Grace appropriates Buddy and leads him off to the drawing-room. When Elsie discovers the trick, she is furious, and determines on revenge. Seeing Buddy's new hat on the hall rack, with the aid of veiling and feathers, she trims it in the latest style. She then tells father of the deception practiced upon her and he immediately goes to the drawing-room, just in time to see Buddy kiss Grace. He gives them both a severe calling down, and Buddy decides it is no place for him. He excitedly grabs his hat without noticing the recent additions, slams it on his head, and is off for home. On the way everybody laughs at him. He thinks they are making fun of his first long pants. Arriving at his house, father, mother and the boys burst into laughter. This is the last straw and Buddy becomes so mad he almost cries. One of the boys leads him to the mirror, where he gets a glimpse of the weird headdress, and collapses limply into his brother's arms. Disgusted with the result of his "first call," he wreaks vengeance on the festooned hat. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
