Synopsis

A lady and maid are seen in a post office, where the lady is posting some letters, using the maid's tongue for moistening the stamps. With each successive application the stickiness becomes more pronounced. Meanwhile a young man, evidently the beau of the maid, is waiting for a chance to greet his sweetheart. While the lady posts her letters the two lovers are seen affectionately embracing each other. As the lover imprints a kiss upon his sweetheart's lips the gum from the stamps adheres to his mustache and sticks. All efforts to separate them prove futile, and in final desperation a pair of scissors is brought and they are cut apart. Part of the man's mustache clings fondly to the girl's lips and the final picture, a close range view, shows the happy but parted lovers.
