Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? When the little restaurant waitress overheard the strange conversation of the two men she served, the temptation to break the routine of her humdrum life was too strong to be resisted. Hence the disguise in which she turned up at the construction camp and boldly interviewing Jack Benson, demanded a job. Meanwhile, in the city, Benson’s brother had shown his letter to all the girls, and Mildred, “one of the nicest girls I know,” was coming. Believing her love for Jack hopeless, Cleo went away. Benson found her asleep in the woods, her beautiful hair tumbled about her. Back at camp, Bill Wright, Benson’s assistant, was enthusiastically kissing Mildred, and when Jack led the blushing Cleo in he had an inspiration: “Let’s make a double wedding.”
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 3 April 1915, page ?] A romantic waitress, two handsome surveyors and an unconventional young woman who visits the camp of the men in search of a husband, are the characters in this one-reel comedy. The doings of these four persons have little relation to fact, but the love interest predominates the action and is brought to a triumphant conclusion for both couples, so, the seekers after romance in an audience will be delighted.
