Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Things in general are going to be vastly different when women win the right to vote and do other mannish things. In one little town the women come into control of the street railway system and as a first step dismiss the entire staff of male clerks. Directors’ meetings are turned into afternoon teas and Friday is bargain day with the fare marked down. Women postmen use their own judgment in the delivery of the mails and show themselves to be no more averse to flirtations than their men confreres, and the kid-gloved lady street cleaners are even more autocratic than the humble white wings. But this is not the end of progress. In the last scene an anxious wife paces the floor, unable to conceal her doubts and fears, while the grave-faced physician and an attentive nurse go silently about. At last the suspense is over and the proud physician announces to the waiting wife that it is a boy and that father and child are both doing very nicely, thank you.
