Getting extremely tired of "strap-hanging" in the street cars, Boobley, a clerk, tells his troubles to some fellow-clerks, adding that "everyone with a baby gets a seat." They jokingly suggest he get a baby himself, so Boobley gets a large doll and carries it home that evening, wrapped up like a baby. The scheme works beautifully. He no sooner enters a car than two or three men get up and offer him their seat, but unfortunately. Evelyn, the stenographer in his office, to whom he has been very attentive, sees him. At the office she gives him a call down and accuses him of being a married man. He explains matters to her and to prove his words says he will show her the doll. In the meantime, however, the clerks, for a joke, manage to quietly exchange the doll for a real baby. Evelyn, who had begun to feel Boobley was telling the truth, is horrified on seeing the youngster and furiously denounces him
