A lady desiring the services of a butler, calls at Mr. Butler's residence and asks a man arranging some plants for the butler. Hearing his name, Mr. Butler steps forward and after exchanging a few words with him, Mrs. Ashburton gives him her card, with a request that be call. Mr. Butler is delighted, for he is under the impression that he has found a wife. And an old spinster, desiring a husband, calls at the address of Mr. Butler's ex-servant. After a few minutes' conversation, which included a request to call at her home, the old spinster leaves. The servant arrives at the old maid's home just in time to see Mr. Butler following Mrs. Ashburton all over the house, declaring his love for her. She screams (thinking the man a maniac), and attracts the attention of her husband, who is about to reprimand Mr. Butler, when the ex-servant explains the conflicting advertisements.
