Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? George at last has Mabel’s word to become engaged to him. While buying flowers for her, George, notices outside the florist’s door a white glove, which had been dropped by Mabel’s cook. He picks it up and gives it to a lady who thinks that he is trying to flirt with her. She places him in the custody of a policeman, who after hearing his story, liberates him. While he is at Mabel’s home, one of her friends is announced, and proves to be none other than the lady he met at the florist’s. She tells Mabel of George’s behavior, whereupon Mabel promptly returns his ring and orders him from the house. He writes a note to Mabel telling her that he is going to marry the first girl that accepts him. Mabel writes that he is at liberty to do whatever he likes. He sallies forth and proposes right and left, but is refused. At last, Mabel’s cook coyly accepts him she returns to her mistress, who recognizes the engagement ring. Explanations follow, which brings out the fact that the glove belonged to the cook, and that George’s story was true.
