His chum rallies him and tells him his time will come. They hear of a big reception to be given at the Brownlee mansion to which all artists are to be invited. Miss Brownlee will then pick out one of them to paint her picture. The two friends go to the ball. They seek a secluded corner and watch the scene with woe-begone faces. Miss Brownlee, who has a silent dislike for the artists with their funny dress and whiskers, also seeks quiet and comes upon the two. They are having a nice time when they are again interrupted. Next morning the artist receives a note from Miss Brownlee saying she has chosen him to paint her picture and will be at his studio at 10. The studio is in a mess and they begin to clean up. His clothes are dirty, so he sends them to a tailor with orders to have them in 30 minutes. Meanwhile he puts on a tablecloth for trousers. Miss Brownlee arrives and the artist is in a quandary, his pants are gone, and, hastily sending for them, he finds the shop closed. Miss Brownlee and her chum come in and the artist tries to make the best of things by saying he always paints in his queer costume. Many amusing incidents follow his attempt to paint and keep his "trousers" up at the same time, which are ended by the arrival of his chum. He drags the chum in another room and makes him change clothes with him and wear the tablecloth. The ladies propose lunch, which is eagerly accepted as he has spent his last money in renting a suit for the reception at her house. They leave his chum in a hungry, disconsolate heap in the other room. Miss Brownlee's friend, who has taken a secret liking to the artist's chum, returns to the studio and when she gets no response to her knocks, goes in. She sees an object flitting away and follows it. The chum, fearful of being discovered, takes to the fire escape. Several amusing incidents occur when he is spied by the cop on the beat. Things, however, are finally straightened out and the artist at last begins to see prosperity for his chum and himself. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
