Her husband objects to this, and one day when a suit arrives at the house C.O.D., he refuses to pay the bill. Susanna is highly indignant and threatens to go to her mother in a distant city. Van Dusen, her husband, calls the bluff, and dares her to go, whereupon Susanna angrily packs her suit-case and demands the price of a railroad ticket. To test her nerve, Van Dusen gives her the money. To his surprise, Susanna accepts it and rushes off to the depot. While waiting in line at the ticket office, she happens to glance over a paper and discovers a startling bargain in suits. Counting the money her husband has given her for railroad fare, she forgets all about going home to mother, and rushes off to the sale. Meanwhile, Van Dusen, who has repented of the quarrel, thinks Susanna has gone and is utterly miserable. Rushing to a telegraph office, he writes a message promising to buy her the suit if she will return home immediately upon her arrival. He changes his mind, however, and stubbornly tears up the message. Meanwhile, at the sale, Susanna lays her purse down to try on a suit, and a thief steals it. About the same time, Van Dusen passes a newspaper office and discovers a crowd gathered about the bulletin board. Idly curious, he pushes his way to the front and nearly collapses. The train that Susanna was supposed to have taken to the home of her mother has been totally wrecked. Horrified at the thought that his wife has been killed, Van Dusen blames himself for the whole affair and rushes home in a state of complete madness. While his friends are trying to keep him from blowing his brains out. Susanna arrives on the scene lamenting the loss of her purse. Thunderstruck to discover that she is still alive, Van Dusen seizes her in his arms, and upon learning the facts, promises to buy her suits enough to last for a lifetime.
