The Wrong Box (1910)
Mistakes are common, especially when a young man is in love, like the one in this story. His girl's parents arrange a reception and dance. In accord with the proper caper he buys some cut flowers for her and orders them sent to his house. Then he goes to a gents' furnishing store and buys himself a suit of pajamas, taking them home with him in a box. He places the box on a chair in his room, and when the box of cut flowers is sent from the florist's they are placed on another chair. Taking his coat off, he throws it on the chair holding the flowers, entirely covering the box. He calls a messenger boy and tells him to take the flowers to the young lady's home. The boy, seeing only one box, naturally picks up the one in sight, containing the pajamas, and delivers them to the young lady with the young man's note saying he hopes she will wear them for his sake. When the adored opens the box and recognizes its contents you can readily see the young man's finish. She goes to the reception without him, accepting the attentions of another young man, and refuses to notice or listen to the apologies of the young fellow who sent the wrong box. He cannot understand her treatment of him at all, and she leads him a merry dance which makes him look and feel like a monkey.
