That morning, when a man applies to Mrs. Joslin for a room in her house and the landlady discovers his valise is marked "W. Jones," both she and her daughter insist on his taking one of their rooms, and make a great fuss over him. Mr. Jones is at a loss to understand their overwhelming attentions, but as Marguerite is extremely pretty, he accepts the fussing good-naturedly, as far as she is concerned. The mother wants to have things her own way, and after overhearing Marguerite and Mr. Jones planning to elope, she locks daughter in the clothes closet, and donning Margaret's hat, coat and veil, she and Mr. Jones go off and get married. On returning. Mr. Jones learns, to his horror, that he has married the mother instead of the daughter. Mrs. Jones then shows the recently acquired husband the personal, and when he explains that he is not the man referred to, she promptly proceeds to faint. Marguerite enjoys a laugh at the expense of each of them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
