Tom, another young fellow, not so stylish as Jim, has long been an admirer of Mame, and, upon seeing her jilted in this manner, determines to urge his suit. He invites the girl to an East Side ball, and incidentally mentions that Jim will he there with the chorus girl. Mame determines to go, takes the money saved for her wedding outfit, hires a fancy ball gown and hat to match, has her hair dressed becomingly, and with Tom goes to the ball.
