Mr. Baldwin was the possessor of an unusual pair of side-whiskers. He was very proud of them. He calls on Miss Hegg and presents her with his photo. She is very fond of him. His next call is on Miss Lucy Pining, a friend of Miss Hegg and he also gives her a photo of himself and his glowing face adornments. He cannot make up his mind which old young lady he likes better. On general principles he strolls into a barber shop to get spruced up. The barber, a Frenchman, misunderstands Baldwin’s order, but Baldwin, who has fallen asleep is not aware of the fact until he is awakened by a frightful pulling on his face, and then he sees that the unknowing barber had cut off one of his whiskers. There is nothing left for him, but to have the other one cut also. He rows with the barber and gets kicked out. He goes on the street and meets Miss Hegg. He accosts her, but she runs away from him, not knowing him. He then runs across Miss Pining and attempts to speak to her, but she does the same as Miss Hegg. The two ladies meet a policeman and tell him of the strange man. Just then Baldwin comes up and they point him out to the cop and he chases him through the streets. The ladles go to Miss Hegg’s house. Baldwin had sought refuge in her garden and climbed through the window. The ladies see him and beat him up with their fists and sofa pillows until Baldwin is all in. He at last gets them to understand and he exits vowing never to see them again, at the same time bemoaning the loss of his beautiful whiskers.
