This is the case when butcher Karl Schultz invites Mrs. Coster's maid Susan to attend a swell affair with him. Susan almost gives up in despair, when suddenly she is struck with a brilliant idea: Entering the parlor, her eyes light on the lampshade, which she utilizes, with a few artificial flowers from a vase as a very modish mushroom hat. Taking down the portieres, she uses them as a very stylish dress. The brass rings and fastenings are her jewels, finishing off with a lace table cover which she wears as a shawl. Karl is struck with pride and amazement as he beholds her finery, convinced that she will be the best-dressed woman of the evening, and she is. Mr. and Mrs. Coster return home from the theater. They discover the loss of their furnishings and come to the conclusion that they have been robbed. They notify the police. Later Susan comes home and tries to replace her outfit. She is detected by the Costers, and the police take her to the station house. She notifies Karl, who comes to her aid. She makes a full confession and with the furnishings, in the presence of the Sergeant, gives a practical demonstration of how she used them. Her ingenuity is thoroughly appreciated by Karl and Mr. and Mrs. Coster. Of course she is forgiven and the whole affair is looked upon as an unusual bit of pleasantry.
