As soon as Oliver was planted in college, the parents turned their attention to Eloise, who had not worked out according to the blueprints. In other words, Eloise was a bloomer and a natural drooper. She needed about two more dippings in thick starch. There wasn't enough whalebone in the department stores to give any gimp to Eloise. While they worried they got word that they might expect Oliver home any time now. He had refused to meet the professors except socially, so they gave him the tinware. The two apples of Paradise had turned out to be a lemon and a stringbean. Now get this. Oliver was some dancer. After the music started he was the big chief. Eloise went to see the great he dressmaker. The world was going crazy about the dances from Argentine and the Barbary Coast. No wonder the queens of the smart set sent for Oliver to teach them the latest steps. Eloise put on one of the new gowns accompanied by the Slouchers Slink and knocked the town an awful twister. She married a millionaire. Old Rutherford was just going into bankruptcy when Oliver showed with the week's dancing receipts. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
