paragraph or less

Major Bruce, an over-careful father, will not allow his daughter, Alice, to go to the dance with Jim, a young lawyer, as he does not wish her to receive that young man's attentions. Alice quarrels with her father and decides that it is high time he was realizing that she is grown up. In order to bring this forcibly to his mind, she conspires with Harry, a young chum, whereby he will come boldly to her father and ask him for his daughter in marriage. She believes that this will cause him to acquire a just appreciation of her age. But when Harry calls her up to make the final plans for the coming encounter with the Major, this gentleman, in his room, picks up the telephone and overhears the whole conversation. He smiles broadly as he thinks of the fun he expects to have. Harry arrives at the house and goes to the library to see Alice's father, while Alice remains outside listening. When Harry manfully finishes his little speech, the Major, much to the boy's surprise and woe, takes him warmly by the hand, slaps him on the back, and says, "She's yours, my son; she's yours." Harry flees from the house in a rage. Jim presently hears that Alice is engaged to Harry and is furious, He will not speak to Alice when he meets her. Harry tells all his troubles to his aunt, Miss Grace, with whom he makes his home, and she goes to see the Major in his behalf. The severe father will not listen to her entreaties, and allows her to get back to her house thinking that her mission has failed. But the Major has become interested in Miss Grace and calls to see her. Alice overhears him talking to her on the telephone, when he asks permission to call. She follows him, and sees him sitting with the pretty aunt out under the trees. She calls Harry and they go together and confront the couple just as the Major has his arm around Miss Grace's waist. Harry demands immediate release from marrying Alice, and Alice insists upon being allowed to marry Jim. The tangled threads are happily unraveled when Jim and Alice, and the Major and Miss Grace, decide that they cannot live apart.
