Nearsighted Mary (1909)

Mary applies at an employment office for work. She is so nearsighted that she nearly walks over the clerk. Having paid her fee she is handed a card on which is written her place of employment. She introduces herself and begins work. At once her troubles begin. She falls over everybody and breaks everything. She pours tea over the madam's dress and the soup over the master's head. She breaks the statuary at an Italian marble shop where she was sent for a marble statue. She really manages to bring the statue home unbroken but slips on the last step and the statue breaks in pieces. This is too much for the enraged master of the house and he pushes her down the step, where she upsets a policeman. She is now looking for another position.
