He is about to come to the point and she is thrilled with expectancy but he loses his nerve and Eloise is furious. Frances Rover and Jimmie Lodge, sweethearts, quarrel because Jimmie refuses to let her tie his tie the way she wants it. To arouse the Major to activity, Eloise flirts with Jimmie. To arouse Frances' jealousy, Jimmie flirts with Eloise. What is more natural than for Frances and the Major to meet. Eloise being very wealthy treats Jimmie like a king, while the Major is all attention to Frances. The two couples meet. Eloise introduces Jimmie as her future husband. Not to be outdone, the Major introduces Frances as his future wife. The young folks are staggered for neither of them had spoken a word of marriage. Believing the joke has gone far enough, Jimmie and Frances are about to make up, but the old folks drag them apart. Later Eloise and Jimmie are strolling in the park. To get away from her, Jimmie tells her he is going for a cigar. She insists on getting it for him. While she is gone Jimmie sees Frances aid the Major walking through the gardens. He hides behind a tree; the Major seats Frances on a bench just vacated by Jimmie and proceeds to propose to her. Angered, Jimmie signals Frances to shake the old man. She feigns faintness and sends the old fellow for a glass of water. Then the young couple proceed to make up. Eloise and the Major return, she with the cigar and he with the water. They see the loving couple, both realize that "Youth craves Youth and Age must take its place." The Major proposes to Eloise and is accepted and soon preparations are made for a double wedding.
