Mrs. Manly's Baby (1914)

Mrs. Manly and Mrs. G. Howe Wise are close friends and sisters in the same Suffrage Legion in a small town, but Mrs. Manly makes a legal error by marrying a second husband before she had been duly set free from the first. When the two husbands meet and find the duplicity of the woman in question, they take the matter to the police for settlement. Being accused of bigamy, Mrs. Manly decides that it is best to take flight. Her suffragette sisters take up a collection and she escapes the law and all pursuers. Many years later, her friend. Mrs. G. Howe Wise, is surprised to receive a letter from Mrs. Manly, stating that she is sending her baby to Mrs. Wise to raise, and she not having any children of her own, is at a loss to know exactly how to prepare for the coming event. But she goes shopping and buys everything imaginable for an infant. However, her surprise is great when the "baby" arrives and she finds all her plans have been mislaid, for the new arrival is truly "some baby" and upsets the household arrangements to an amazing degree.
