Bessie and the hair dresser have a quarrel, so she writes a note to the tailor, telling him that she will dine with him that evening. Sweedie, the laundress, who is desperately in love with the tailor, hears of the dinner engagement and writes a letter to him, saying that she is going to drown herself in the dye vat. After rigging up a dummy resembling herself, she sticks it head first into the vat. She then leaves, but returns shortly after in a man’s attire, telling the tailor she is Sweedie’s brother. He weeps and wails, declaring that if Sweedie were only alive he would marry her in a minute. Sweedie then pulls off her disguise and the tailor falls in a dead faint. |
