JONES' RETURN FROM THE CLUB. '1 he scene is laid in a prominent private park arid opens by depicting the belated Jones returning from his Club, clad in a dress-suit, smoking a cigar, and armed with the inexhaustible whiskey bottle. Jones' house is shown in the background, but Jones himself, after travelling waist deep
if ouglithe snow in the opposite direction from his heme finally becomes bewildered and leans against a tree, the expression on his face alternating between happiness and disgust. A friendlv policeman appears on the scene and endeavors to start Jones off in the right direction ; an a; gurnent follows, which ends by Jones knocking off the policeman's hat and pitching him head first in a neighboring snow drift. Jones now dons the policeman's helmet and appropriates his club, then makes an attempt to arrest the worth} officer cf the law. The picture finally ends by the unfortunate Jones being rolled heavily i:: the snow.
JONES AND HIS PAL IN TROUBLE. Jones feels that he needs assistance to get home, and finds a friend to help him. They are two of a kind. They come down the. snow covered pathway, stopping frequently to sample a large flask. They finally stick their canes into a snow bank, and between them finish up the whiskey. Just then the policeman appears, with blood in bis eye. The two happy ones are too much for the officer, and after a short wrestle he is thrown down into the deep snow. Jones staggers away leaving his friend to fight it out. He and the officer have a very exciting rough and tumble fight in the snow. Jones comes back to the rescue and the policeman gives up the job.
JONES' INTERRUPTED SLEIGHRIDE. Jones and his friend go out for a ride, still in a happy condition. They meet a policeman, who remonstrates about their manner of driving. Jones stands up on the seat, and tells the officer to mind his own business, whereupon the officer jumps into the sleigh, andj grappling with Jones, they fall out into a snow drift. The friend drives off rapidly, as fast as he can, tacking from one side of the road to the other. The cop pursues the sleigh, and Jones escapes. As the sleigh disappears among the trees the cop gives up the chase and comes back for his helmet. Jones comes back also to argue the question, and the cop promptly arrests him.
JONES INTERVIEWS HIS WIFE. He finally reaches home, pretty late, and finds his wife sitting up for him. He begins to disrobe, throwing his hat and cane on the floor, and scattering his clothes all round the room. His wife at first is very much ashamed of him, then indignant and finally angry. She picks up a basin full of water, and empties it over his head, drenching him from head to foot. The water pours off in streams as he stands with fingers outstretched, shocked almost into soberness. A very comical scene.
JONES GIVES A PRIVATE SUPPER. This picture shows Jones entertaining three young ladies, after the theatre. They have a private room, and are evidently enjoying themselves very much. Jones sets up the wine freely, and the party becomes hilarious. The girls dance in turn for Jones, each vieing with the other in executing novel and startling terpsichorean effects.
