COMEDY. kissing the son good-bye, because of the momentary departure. Directly we hear a knock, and our young man is surprised to receive a call from the young lady. They chat a bit, and the lady steals a kiss occasionally, to the alleged astonishment of the young man. Soon the young man is induced to elope, and he leaves a note for his father, and departs. The young man is soon remorseful, and we see him in the apartment of his wife swooning. She removes his coat, administers restoratives, and consoles the husband as best she can.

Men are seen to enter the saloons, some with baby carriages, others carrying the little ones or leading them along, and implore the wives for the sake of the little ones to come home. The final scene is where the men, exasperated, raid a saloon and chase the women out, taking their positions at the bar and drinking success to an innovation that brings them back to present-day customs.
