Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The French cook and the maid are deeply in love with each other, and, finding it hard to pass as much time as they would like in each other’s company, the cook devises a means for transmitting love notes to the maid in a most unique manner, that is, inserting the note in a biscuit specially marked. Fine, until the boss gets the biscuit with the note and thinks it is intended for his wife.
