When they awake upon St. Valentine's Day, that is, if it has not gone out of date, they will have simply to press a button and, in the kitchen the bread will walk to the fire, return all nice and crisp to the butter-dish, there to gaily bespread itself and then to escort the tea to the bedside of our beloved descendants. They, after having beguiled themselves with tea and toast, will then bethink them of their letters. By pressing another button, these obedient missives will instantly betake themselves to their readers. Another button will clothe the modern man, who will no doubt sally forth to take the air. He has by this time set aside all such fatiguing methods of motion as walking and will be propelled short distances by motor-feet and, when going for a long outing will simply sit upon a chair and proceed upon his way. One can easily see some justification for the seemingly stupid action of the hero in this film when he casts at last all his electrical appliances to the winds with an air of boredom and disgust.
