Old Goop thought he was a confirmed hater of ragtime music and the graceful steps folks perform to its strains. When he catches his stenographer trotting around the office with one of his clerks, he reprimands her severely. When a dancing instructress moves in the apartment above him, the pat-pat of graceful feet sets him wild. Then he gets up courage to go up and tell the instructress that the noise is offensive to him, but, well, who wouldn't fall for such a petite miss? He forgets his complaint and allows her to teach him the foxtrot, and now he can't get enough of it. His stenographer thinks he has lost his reason, for he greets her in the morning by placing his arm around her waist, and to the whistled strain of a foxtrot, whirls her gracefully through the maze of office furniture.
