Mrs. Clark, his devoted wife, is not aware of this until a gown Isobel purchased at Clark's expense is mistakenly delivered to his house with the bill. Mrs. Clark becomes suspicious and angry. He says it's a mistake and takes the gown to Isobel, telling her she must dispose of it as his wife would recognize it anywhere. She promises to do so and inserts an ad in the paper to the effect that she has a slightly-worn gown for sale. About this time, the Clarks give a dinner party and invite their good friends the Dodges. Dodge calls his wife's attention to the ad when she says she has nothing to wear, and they purchase the gown from Isobel. On the night of the dinner party, Mrs. Dodge arrives dressed in the stunning creation, which Mrs. Clark at once recognizes. She denounces Clark and accuses Mrs. Dodge of being "the other woman." Clark and Dodge are both dumbfounded; Clark of course cannot explain and Mrs. Doge has no desire to tell that the dress was purchased second-hand. Mrs. Clark angrily orders Mrs. Dodge from the house and this breaks up the affair. Both families later decide to demand an explanation from Isobel. The Dodges reach her first and are told the true story of the gown and Clark's flirtation. All laugh and when he arrives, the Dodges agree to help him out of his predicament. For a consideration, the modiste visits Mrs. Clark and offers her apologies for having sent a gown and bill to Mrs. Clark which was intended for Mrs. Dodge. This clears up the atmosphere at once and the two women kiss and make up. When Clark arrives home that evening in fear and trembling, he finds an excellent dinner awaiting him while his wife greets him with open arms and a welcome smile.
