This is strikingly true in the case of the hero in "A Troublesome Picture." He is an ordinary business man, is successful in his enterprises, and as a recreation he dabbles in art. He buys a life-size painting of a reclining Egyptian princess. The pose of the princess arouses the displeasures of his wife and mother-in-law. In spite of their protestations, however, the picture remains in the household, much to the chagrin of our hero's wife and her mother. He gets tempting offers from a friend to sell the picture, but he brushes them aside. One evening our hero comes home from a trying day at his office. He sits on the lounge and soon falls asleep. He dreams that the Egyptian painting has assumed life. The princess comes out of the picture and disturbs him with embarrassing embraces. While in this predicament his wife and mother-in-law enter, and they are scandalized. His mother-in-law goes after him, with the result that he is minus a good part of his hair. A great number of complications arise, but it all terminates with our hero's awakening; he finds himself struggling with the house cat, which had found a perch on top of his bald spot.
