And if you saw what was on the other side of the screen, you'd give him credit for being a sensible man. In advertising for a "steno," Jack, with an eye for feminine charm, specifies "good looking." After considerable difficulty, he secures a "pippin." She knows nothing about stenography, but with Mr. Jack this is no drawback. They become friends, and he allows her to believe him single. When wifey enters, things look quite gloomy for Jack, but he gets out of the difficulty by telling the astonished girl that she is a "looney" cousin who thinks she is his wife. Later, Mrs. Jack sees Jack and the girl in an affectionate pose. Once more Jack shows himself equal to the occasion by explaining that the stenographer is "looney" and he is trying to humor her. Mrs. Jack makes sure that the "crazy key pounder" gets the grand bounce. Jack meets the girl once more at lunch, and when wifey appears on the scene Jack beats a hasty exit, disguised as a table, leaving the impression that he is the "looniest" of the trio. The Mrs. then hires an ancient stenographer for Jack, whose only redeeming feature is her ability to write letters well. Jack saves himself much mental agony by using the aforementioned screen.
