Wealth, however, came to the man and wife through the unexpected death of a rich relative. They now bad a beautiful estate, a large circle of friends and plenty of money, but they were far from being happy. The butler scared the husband, and he loathed the evening clothes his valet brought him at six o'clock each night. The wife had her troubles, too, for her maid annoyed her. One morning the husband noted in the paper that the Coney Island Carnival was on. The poor man didn't dare ask his wife, so he left a note explaining that he would lunch at a very tiresome club. He eluded the vigilant valet and the grave butler and "hiked" to Coney Island. The wife also noted that there was to be doings at the seashore. So she, too, left a note telling of a social function and then made a bee-line for the amusement resort. Man and wife met while viewing the parade. There were mutual explanations and mutual laughter. They then telephoned to their servants that they were "dining out," and proved it by eating "hot dogs." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
