Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Helen refused to marry Charles St. Lolo until he had done something to distinguish himself. He wrote an article for the papers ridiculing the methods and manners of the suffragettes, loudly proclaiming that the spectacle of the suffragettes who could neither mend socks, cook nor dress even a tiny child, would make him laugh if it did not make him cry. The fat was in the fire. The ladies held a committee meeting. Such an attack upon the “cause” called for [condign] punishment. How would it do to beard the lion in his den and show him and his friends that they were capable of dealing with such as he? Late at night the committee raided the house, roused Charles from sleep, and dressed him in swaddling clothes. They then sent for Helen, whose ideas of distinguished conduct differed from those of the would-be lover. Poor Charles was derided and Helen joined the “cause.”
