Mr. Beaumont, widower, is much in love with Mrs. Lovejoy, widow. Both are very anxious to appear young in the other's eyes, but are burdened with full-grown children, Mr. Beaumont, a son, Mrs. Lovejoy a daughter. So they dress them like small children, much to the disgust of the boy and girl. Mrs. Lovejoy gives a dinner to announce her engagement to Mr. Beaumont. The children wish to attend but are told they are too little. Indignant, they plan to get even. Taking the butler into their confidence, they go to the dinner as colored waiters. When the announcement is made, they exclaim, "Bless you, my children." The boy slaps his father on the back and the girl kisses her mother. Confusion follows in which they make their escape. The next morning, when the widower calls on the widow, the children enter, the girl dressed in her mother's clothes, and the boy in his father's. They hand a bundle to the widow and another to the widower, which contain the waiter's clothes, acknowledging they played the prank. Then they issue their intimation that they are grown up and going to stay grown up or they will elope.
