Mother finally consents and father goes down to the station to see them all off. Bertie and his sister Marjorie plan a rejuvenation of mother. Mother gets her wrinkles removed and Marjorie takes her to a physical culturist to have her figure developed. Mother receives a letter from father which brings consternation into camp. The letter reads, "Dear Wife: Your sister had to go home. The Widow Brown will keep house until you return. Yours, Hiram." Mother's wardrobe arriving, she starts back home. The father not recognizing her in her new getup, drives off saying, "My wife is no such fandangled critter." Mother, heart-broken, returns to the city insisting that they get her old clothes. The maid who has thrown the cast-off clothing in the ash barrel, rushes out and overtakes the rag picker, giving him five dollars to return the clothing he has taken from the ash can. The next day mother receives another letter from father, reading, "Dear Wife: Will come for you to-day. Be ready to go home." By the time father arrives, mother is again arrayed in her old clothes and she registers a vow, "Never again, plain clothes for me." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
