The manicurists were three remarkably attractive young women. When they walked along the street, men involuntarily turned and stared at them. Of course this was in no sense the young ladies' fault, but it didn't increase their popularity with the feminine portion of the population to any extent. When the young ladies opened their shop in Tuckerville, Messrs. Henshaw, Jenkins, and Simpkins were among the first patrons. Having their hands manicured was a new and pleasant sensation, and the three girls were very easy on the eyes. When his mother brought little Willie to the Sewing Circle, and the enterprising boy discovered a telescope, things brightened up. From the window of the room in which the Sewing Circle met, Willie could see the window of the lady manicurists' establishment. When he gave Mrs. Henshaw the telescope and begged her to see the pretty lady who was holding Mr. Henshaw's hand, Mrs. Henshaw was distinctly interested. Willie, realizing that he had put his foot into it, rushed over and warned his father, who was one of the enthusiastic throng at the manicurists. Thanks to his warning, none of the men was in evidence when the indignant wives appeared. To revenge themselves on their husbands, the wives immediately started a tango class, to which no male over 25 was admitted. The manicurists, no whit daunted, started a turkey trot temple, entrance to which was denied to all women over 25. The turkey-trot temple did not do anything else but start. On the very first evening, the indignant wives swept down upon it and removed their husbands from the dangerous influence of the beautiful young ladies. A general reconciliation was effected, which resulted in the banishment of the manicurists and the institution of a new club for dancing purposes. One of the by-laws of the club: husbands must dance with their wives only. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
