The fact that his wife's mother is also expected does not help matters, and when both mothers appear on the scene within a few minutes of each other, a lively time is had by all concerned through the jealousies to which mother-in-laws are popularly supposed to be addicted. After the young couple are driven almost to distraction, and have given up most of their comforts to please the respective mothers, a telegram comes with an invitation for the older members of the quartet to be guests at a picnic in a distant town. When the sky has cleared the husband confesses to having persuaded his father to send the telegram. Written by
