The Shop Girl's Big Day (1913)
Miss Dora Thea Rankin, the daughter of a poor widow, was employed in a dry goods store. On one Saturday night just as she was leaving the store for her home, the manager of the store called to her to carry some packages to be delivered to a wealthy lady. The packages contained a beautiful dress, a parasol and a hat. Dorathea takes them to her own home and conceives the idea of playing the lady for one day and then deliver the goods early Monday morning. She hides the clothes in the woodshed. The following morning being Sunday she goes to the shed, dons the beautiful clothes and starts out to have a real live day. She meets with many mishaps, at last arriving home a sadder but wiser girl. Her poor mother had gone to the woodshed to get some firewood and had discovered Dorathea's clothes. Frantic with fear, she rushes out of the shed just as Dorathea comes up. She asks Dorathea what this means and Dorathea explains. When Dorathea reaches the lady's home she finds that the lady's brother Frank is one of the number of men she had flirted with the day before. The brother does not give Dorathea away, but follows her to the street, where an explanation is given. Frank escorts her home, and feeling that the little girl is really a lady, asks consent to call on her. It is readily given and all ends happily.
