he stalks out of the room now thoroughly exasperated. We next see him rushing down the front-door Bteps ; at the bottom; the sweep, who lias just stopped to listen to the paperhangers at the window, giving a laughing account of what lias just happened, picks up liis soot bag and swings it over his shoulder
just in time to land it full in the face of the enraged master. He staggers hack in a blinding cloud of soot, and blunders against a ladder, up which a man has just gone with a pail of whitewash. .lust as the contents of the pail are splashing over him, his wife appears at the top of the steps. Thoroughly concerned at the deplorable condition of her husband, she does her best to console him, and leads hire back into the house now quite tame and very limp.
This subject is highly humorous, without "clowning'' or pantomime business, and evokes roars of laughter.

Smith is painting and by a singular coincidence Brown is painting his side white ; the white comes through on to the black and the black on to the white ; each one concludes that the other is doing it on purpose.

sweethearts and kiddies follow. The dandv does rently relish their proximity. He is asked to have a drink, but declines with some show of disgust. The woman with the baby says : " this is his pmper drink," and tries to put the baby's teat in his mouth. By this rime, the carriage is crowded. Young girls and their sweet hearts, a negro minstrel with his banjo, and the inevitable young man with the accordion ; they all notice the young swell, and express some amusement at his appearance. The girls start a "cake walk," one of them appropriating the hit and stick of the dandy to finish her equipment. The hat later on comes to grief — one of the giils sitting on it. They now persuade the old lady with the baby to have a try. Nothing loth she unceremoniously deposits the baby on the dandy's knee and proceeds to show her nimbleness, finally collapsing on the baby. Attributing this disaster to the carelessness of the innocent young man they fall upon him and maul him rather roughly. Length 168 feet.
