The Gibson Goddess

An attractive young lady at a beach resort draws unwanted attention from a group of unruly young men, so she disguises herself with a long beach coat and plenty of padding. Not recognizing the beauty they had seen earlier, the young men jeer and tease her, all except for a plain-looking sailor, who likes her despite her large size. In the final scene, she is restored to her normal size, promenading on the arm of the young sailor.

All On Account Of The Milk

Hiram, a young contractor, goes to a house near his worksite to get a glass of milk. He is mistaken by the heroine, Sophia, for a laborer, while he thinks she is the maid, although she is the daughter of the manor. (Sophia's maid has taken sick and Sophia has assumed her duties and clothing for the day). Hiram continues to represent himself as a laborer in order to see the "maid" for his daily glass of milk, and Sophia, in order to to continue her impersonation, continues to borrow her maid's clothing. After some confusion involving the actual maid, the gardener, Hiram's mother and Sophia's mother, the young people are brought together in their true identities, with the blessing of their respective mothers.
