Tired of the grind of the kitchen work, Mrs. Dasher appeals to her neighbor, Mrs. White, for advice, and between them a plot for relief is concocted. Mrs. Dasher telegraphs to a sister in a neighboring town to telegraph for her. This is done. Instead of proceeding to her, she repairs to the house of her neighbor, where she watches her husband's ludicrous attempts to get along without a cook, and how false have been his claims that housekeeping is a cinch. His first effort in preparing a meal results in failure, and while avoiding a conflagration caused by burning bacon, he sees his wife peering at him from her neighbor's porch. The truth dawns on him, and after a hasty meal at a restaurant, he hires a pretty maid and takes care that his flirtations with her are carried on before the open kitchen window. This, of course, brings his wife upon the scene. The peach of a maid is discharged and Mrs. Dasher declares that there is no virtue in deception and that she would prefer to do her own housework.
