An Exclusive Pattern
Directed by Arthur HotalingA haberdasher sells to a young man a vest that he declares to be an absolutely exclusive pattern. The design is unique and startling, and Tom wears it home to luncheon with much pride. He immediately spills soup on it, but Nan, his wife, promises to clean it. After the wife has cleaned it she hangs it in the backyard to dry. It is stolen by a tramp. She telephones Tom of the theft, and notifies the police, giving a description of the vest. Nan goes on a shopping expedition, and the first man she sees on the street is wearing the stolen vest, or at least she thinks it is the stolen vest. She endeavors to recover it and the man, deeming her a lunatic, flees in horror. Meanwhile Tom has seen the vest adorning the figure of a suffragette, a prize fighter, and the original tramp, and his attempts to recover it have been highly disastrous. The police now busy themselves and the tangle comes to a head at the station house, where the simultaneous appearance of half a dozen persons wearing the vest, tends to disprove the haberdasher's assertion that the one sold to Tom was without a duplicate. Freed from the clutches of the law. Tom and the other battered and furious vest owners, proceed to wreak vengeance on the haberdasher. They treat him to a bath under the fire hydrant.
