Put Yourself in Their Place (1913)

Two old friends, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Kent, are very desirous that their son and daughter marry. The young people, whether by reason of the prearranged wish of their parents, or because of a mutual difference, do not feel disposed to become engaged. After a while the two fathers come to the conclusion, that it is only fair that they should put themselves in their children's places, so they decide they will adopt different tactics; they will insistently object to their children marrying each other. Both the youngsters, now free to assert their independence, insist that they will at once get married. They manage to elude the vigilance of their parents and elope. Mr. Kent and Mr. Johnson give chase. When they meet their children coming from the parsonage, they shower them with their blessings.
