Their Mothers-in-Law (1911)
Young Mrs. Smith, becoming weary of housework, sent for her mother to pay her a visit. The same day Mr. Smith, wishing to help his wife, sent for his mother. Both arrived in due time, and when they met, well, if looks could kill, they both would have died on the spot. The Smiths had only one spare room, and, as it was impossible for both mothers to occupy this, they had to give up their own room to one of them and sleep in the attic themselves. There was all kinds of trouble, while the mothers were disputing which should be head of the household. If Mrs. Smith started to fry a steak, Mrs. Jones flew to the range and tried to do it. If Mrs. Jones in sweeping the parlor, placed a chair in one position, Mrs. Smith came in later and put it somewhere else. The young Smiths soon found this state of affairs intolerable. So one day they quietly planned a little trip, leaving this note: "Dear Mothers, We have gone away for a rest. Lovingly, Peter and Mary." When Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Smith read the note they fell into each other's arms for comfort.
