A light tale of Mrs Smithson overpaying Jane the maid with full wages for a month of rest. Jane argues wage fairness after return and refuses extra work for the same pay. A second vignette contrasts a jealous wife and a lunch with a friend, noting the difference is in who pays.
Two Scotsmen miss their train rival as a strikingly modern young damsel arrives. They exchange stunned remarks about her rouge lipstick and powder and remark that nothing is new, noting how their fashion sense seems out of date by today’s standards.
A fragmented comic exchange shows castaways describing an inhabited island and a teacher explaining the word exasperate. The dialogue contrasts drunken outsiders with a hope for civilized behavior and a questioning child about his father’s toil and a mother’s role.
