Discovering their stenographer frowns on bonbons and flowers, they discharge her. Billy, the clerk, now tells them he knows a charming young lady for the position and brings her down the next morning. Miss Armstrong proves to be a petite, pretty girl, and is engaged at an increase in salary. Both Hinks and Dinks now set out to make their conquests, and bitter rivalry ensues as to the dictating of letters and the supplying of pretty Bertha with necessary candy and bouquets. This rivalry becomes so intense that a quarrel follows and the two old fellows almost come to blows whenever they meet. Bertha now leaves on her vacation and the office is decorated with mourning bands, while Hinks and Dinks mope miserably in the privacy of their rooms, most forlorn because Bertha refused in allow them to accompany her, and discharge Billy, the clerk, on seeing him making eyes at the fair charmer. Next morning both receive letters from Bertha, declaring she thinks their quarrel has gone far enough and that she cannot many both. Each instantly decides to steal a march on the other, secure autos and hasten out to the summer resort. Armed with huge boxes of roses they meet on the hotel porch. As they stand fussing and fuming at each other the door suddenly opens and Bertha steps gaily out with Billy, the clerk. While the two old fools gape in astonishment she laughingly introduces Billy as her husband, waves ta-ta and starts down to the beach. For a moment Hinks and Dinks stare after them, then both bury the hatchet, lock arms and hasten in to drown their sorrows at the liquid refreshment booth.
