A Family Feud (1910)

Jack, with his M.D. diploma, starts for home. Rose, graduated from the young ladies' seminary, takes the same train as Jack for home. They meet in the Pullman, become acquainted, and he learns that she is going to his home town. He makes himself her logical escort, and when they arrive at their destination he sees her to her door, which is next to his own home. Greeted warmly by his father, Jack tells him all about the college experiences, and then relates his chance meeting on the train with the young lady next door, whereupon the old gentleman tells him in no measured terms of an existing feud or difference in regard to property right between himself and the young lady's aunt, with whom she lives. This is confirmed by a note from Rose, who adds in a postscript that while her aunt will never consent to their friendship, she (Rose) will walk in her garden every evening. Jack takes no interest in the first part of the note, but readily takes the hint in the P.S. and watches over the garden wall for Rose's appearance after dinner. Walls are not made high enough for Cupid's flight, and the young lovers soon get together and arrange a plot to get Jack's father and Rose's aunt together. Rose writes a note to Jack's father, saying her aunt is in love with him. Jack writes a note to Rose's aunt, saying that his father is in love with her. Jack drops the note from Rose in the garden where his father will find it, and Rose drops the letter from Jack where her aunt will find it. The plot works to perfection, and gradually the old folks are desperately in love with each other, and in honor of their betrothal, as well as the engagement of Jack and Rose, the old gentleman gives a dinner at which the four happy souls toast each other and weld the union of the houses of Jack and Rose. Jack Roses will be the flowers of the wedding day.
