Written and directed by Charlie Chaplin.

Mabel Normand is brilliant as the frazzled wife and mother.
"Here, play with this (a gun!)"
Although this is not the first film to show Charlie with a wife,
it is the first to show him in a domestic situation.
Charlie tries to shield himself from Mack Swain's sloppy eating.
After a brawl with Mack Swain at the restaurant, Charlie accidently takes his coat,
 and vice versa.
Due to the coat mix-up, Mabel thinks Charlie is "trysting" with Phyllis Allen.
And Phyllis thinks her husband (Mack Swain) has a child.
All's well that ends well...
