These two lovers naturally vied with each other to gain the "edge" on the fair damsel's affections and on a big occasion- the afternoon of a select tea party being given at her mothers home, they both arrive with rival bouquets. The very next drink the lady-like mother takes certainly proves to be something of an eye-opener, for she is not slow to show the effects. Sitting beside her is an intellectual guest who is always inclined to discuss weighty subjects He too imbibes unwisely. After which he is prone to argue and the lady-Slice mother being Irish and naturally adverse to taking insults, soon becomes involved in a veritable altercation with her guest. She expresses the opinion that the world needs a new Moses- one who can crack a rock and bring forth wine instead, of water. The intellectual guest takes issue with her insisting that what the world needs most of all is a new St. Patrick to keep out the new species of snakes known as Hooch snakes. This is the last straw, for the thoroughly irate lady-like mother and she hurls a defi which inspires the intellectual to invite her to remove her eyeglasses. The battle-royal which follows is funnier than it is dangerous but it assumes more threatening aspects, when the mere, little, husband commits the grievous error of undertaking to separate the gladiators. Whereupon his more portly wife turns all her wrath upon him. The couple seem unable to reach conclusions in the usual manner of fistic war-fare and so boxing gloves are brought. The husband gets a very severe drubbing and the revengeful intellectual comes to his rescue by inserting a "tender" iron horse-shoe into one Of the gloves, giving him the necessary "kick". Thus are the tables turned against the woman in the fight. Written by Copyright Description from Library of Congress See less
