Billie is a modest little fellow and is well content to do the entertaining of the house. He is active about the place, showing everyone how to perform their jobs, but he really shines at serving the ladies. One of these delicate creations arrives and Billie is all attention. But his wife says, "No," and the ambitious lad is forced to sojourn under the desk. There he finds a way to get in a word or two by poking his head out from the bottom. He makes a little rendezvous with the lady without his wife learning of it. Then when the lady rings for soap he writes his love on the bar and covers it so that the sentiments are not apparent until the bar is used. Then follow a series of mistakes that were most unfortunate, as they put the attentions of Billie in the wrong light. He sent a little note to the lady of his love by means of a fan. But the darn thing blew too far and the note came into the hands of her husband. Then there followed a. great mix-up, as the doors of the two rooms that the manager and the lady had were changed. The husband went after Billie, and strange to say, he found him in the most embarrassing of positions. Then there was a chase in which Billie barely escaped the wrath of the other, and it all ended when Billie fell into a bathtub and was carried about the streets in the rear of an auto. Written by
