When Women Strike (1911)
When John Matthews' wife was called out on strike by the suffragettes, he proceeded to take it philosophically. He secured a pretty French maid and installed her as housekeeper. When he returned home for lunch, he was pleased to see how daintily it had been prepared. Just at this time a messenger arrived from suffragette headquarters, asking him if he was willing to arbitrate. Mr. Matthews gave the messenger the merry ha, ha, and sent back word that he was quite satisfied with things as they were. When Mrs. Matthews received this message, she rushed from the room, nor was she stayed by the cries of "Deserter!" which followed her. Arriving at her home she saw through the window how contented her husband was with the French maid waiting upon him. That was enough; the strike was over so far as Mrs. Matthews was concerned. She went into the dining room and weepingly told her husband that she was sorry. Mr. Matthews smiled a happy smile; the maid was dismissed and peace was restored.
