The Maid and the Milkman (1913)
Mamma and her two girls are in the park, all very stylish, especially the eldest daughter, who is conscious of her station in life and adds dignity to her years. Louise, the younger, is just roguish and pretty. Edward Girard notes this as he passes and Louise notices him. She drops a package in a shameless manner, and so gets into conversation. Edward obtains an Invitation to call. But scheming mamma sees a last chance of marrying off her elder daughter. She, therefore, insists upon dressing her rebellious younger girl as a maid. Edward is bored to distraction and is properly mad when the simpering elder daughter appropriates the five dollar bouquet he brought Louise. But he overhears a fragment of conversation between Louise and mamma and he "tumbles." As he goes, he bestows a meaning wink upon Louise and she too knows. Edward holds up a milk wagon for a consideration, borrows the milkman's hat and apron and his cart. He gains an entrance into the kitchen and is caught by mamma flirting with the "maid." He assures her he is the milkman and mamma flounces out in a rage at being so deceived. Louise agrees to a ride, and off they go. Mamma sees them and pursues in an auto. The audacious and presuming "milk man" pulls up before a fine residence, and mamma finds Edward and Louise in the embrace of another mamma, Edward's, and she recognizes an old and wealthy friend. All are now satisfied except the elder daughter.
