Her right-hand man is the Deacon. He is sent to get evidence, but falters upon seeing divers types of loveliness which the bathing suits adorn. The president is a fire-brand and takes her fight to the Police Judge. She convinces him the short-skirted suit must go. The Deacon is observed by the president and determines to teach him a lesson. Donning a bathing suit with a long skirt, she veils her face and starts to lure the Deacon. The end of the yarn with which the bathing suit was made becomes entangled on a nail and the skirt is unraveled to an alarming shortness by the time she is seen by the Deacon. He follows and she proposes a boat ride. They land on an island, where she discloses her identity and maroons the Deacon. While waiting she is run down by the police boat, searching for violators of the new law, and is arrested and locked up for ninety days. Remembering the Deacon, she manages to escape disguised as a policeman and arrives in time to take the penitent Deacon aboard her boat. Written by Moving Picture World, September 15, 1917 See less
