Not Smart

Believing this to be the state of their Portuguese maid, her married employers, artists Milo and Fannie Tate, try to help her.  Fannie, however, becomes suspicious that her husband has put the maid in this condition because of his “open” attitude in stating his affection for her.  The suspicion is furthered when a female friend, Mrs. Painter, arrives and states her own husband has admitted an affair and left her.
