Robert Bums is tired of having his stenographers quit their jobs to get married. He hits upon an idea, to advertise for a stenographer that is so ugly there is no chance for her to get married. Pretty girls apply for the position, but are decidedly turned down on account of their good looks. Mae Hotely decides to make herself ugly and applies for the position. The boss engages her. One Sunday afternoon, while he is out walking in the park, he meets her in her own proper person, and falls violently in love, not knowing that she is his own stenographer. He tries to scrape up an acquaintance with her, but she appeals to a policeman for protection. He is utterly miserable until one day in the office, when Mae’s smoked glasses fall off. He sees through the rest of her make-up; she is the girl of his dreams. Everything ends happily, as she promises to be his stenographer for life. |
