She resolves to look over his stock. He has scolded the office boy that morning, and in revenge the boy changes the signs in the hall, putting the employment agency sign in the place of the matrimonial bureau sign. Mr. Brown has discharged the cook and his wife sends him to the agency to get another. He enters the Bureau by mistake, and engages Lucille. She thinks she is being chosen as wife. He takes her home and is dismayed by her airs of proprietorship. She seizes him and tries to kiss him, and his wife, coming in, makes a fearful scene. She calls a policeman, who takes the whole party to the Bureau. The mistake in the signs is discovered, the apologies take place. Then the whole party gets into the elevator, with the exception of Lucille and the boy. The machinery gives way, and the two are left laughing at the others trying to claw their way out of the wreckage. See less
