Through the form of intertitles, a dog and cat with kittens are shown; 'the animal baby arrives in the world fully dressed', whereas the human baby is not (a nurse is shown holding a young baby). Then two modes of female dress are shown. From 1560, a woman wears Elizabethan clothing and walks in a garden, then from 1890 a woman wears Victorian dress. An intertitle explains the extreme discomfit experienced by these ladies as the dresses were so heavy. Two modern young women wearing tennis dresses are seen. A child is undressed by his mother and his clothes (comprising of several layers) are weighed. It is noted that children should not be burdened with excessive layers. An example of this is shown whereby a child's clothes are weighed amounting to 4 lbs! A brief animation then illustrates a small child carrying an ox.
