She was a fresh young country girl when he married her, but in the city she did not seem to be able to make anything out of herself. Her dowdiness and utter lack of attraction when strangers were about incensed him, and after a number of "breaks" on her part, there was a quarrel. The husband wanted to know why she could not be stylish, and finally stormed out of the house, leaving her very unhappy indeed. The wife thought the matter over, however, and as she loved her husband, she decided to try and please him. Accordingly she ordered quantities of good clothes, went to a beauty parlor and was beautified within an inch of her life. She even learned how to walk and stand in the new and extremely foolish way, and when her husband returned in the evening, she was prepared to give him the surprise of his life. It might be added that this was the one evening the husband did not want her to be stylish, for his rich old country uncle was with him, and for several hours the aforesaid uncle had been explaining how glad he was that his nephew's wife was "a sensible woman and not dressed up like a doll." He also intimated that one reason he was making his nephew his heir was because he knew the wife would not waste the money which had been amassed as the result of much toil and privation. Under the circumstances, the "dressed-up doll" failed to make a hit, and uncle left after announcing his intention to make a new will. Naturally the husband raged at his wife and the poor woman was brokenhearted, for she found that by trying to please her husband, she had only given him new cause for resentment.
