He gets his father's permission to attend. It is the height of his ambition to dress for the occasion so that he may outshine the other boys and appear more pleasing to his sweetheart. Not possessing a dress suit, he borrows his father's but without permission. By chance his mother is let into the secret and joyfully he goes to the party. That evening, his father, wishing to don his dress suit, is unable to find it. By interrogating mother he learns of its whereabouts and immediately starts out to fetch the boy home. By this time the party is in full swing, our hero having become the idol of the girls and the envy of the boys to such an extent that they play all sorts of boyish tricks on him; tripping him while dancing, spilling red lemonade on his white shirt front and so forth. At the height of his dilemma, father unexpectedly appears and leads him out by the ear to the gratification of the boys and disappointment of the girls.
