She understands their eccentricities better than he does, and suggests that he had better remain at her house and get acquainted with the several limbs of her family tree before he becomes affiliated in matrimony. She warns him it is a necessity to make a hit with her grandfather, as he is the richest of all her relatives, and must be pleased with the match. Jimmie undertakes this task and finds it not only diverting, but difficult. Grandpa is a gay old bird, but when Jimmie tries to entertain him, he gets up and walks away, leaving Jimmie stunned. Ruth's grandmother is another eccentric, equally bard to entertain. Besides, she has a father, a mother, and a sister, the latter being particularly peculiar, as she is "putting it over" Jimmie in embarrassing ways. Additionally, Ruth has an athletic brother, who bangs Jimmie about until he is black and blue and a dissipated brother who insists upon his accompanying him in midnight trips to cabarets, where he proceeds to fill up, the suitor forced to act as a committee of safety to get him home. The girl acted wisely in advising Jimmie to get acquainted with the family, but he is almost half dead before he does so, and is on the verge of becoming a nervous wreck when he boldly concludes to elope with the girl. He advises the family that they are eloping and are going to live at the North Pole and to come and see them sometime. As he ties the note to the front door and rings the bell, various members of this happy family rush to the windows and shake their fists at the departing pair. The grandfather, however, has secured a front seat on their taxi, and accompanies its rapid movement by playing on a mouth-organ, as they go rushing out of the town on their wedding trip.
