Like many a disgruntled wife has resolved to do when her petition for money is met with a flat refusal by her husband, Mrs. Brown has a plan by which she is sure she can reap enough to make her at least more independent of her husband. ...See moreLike many a disgruntled wife has resolved to do when her petition for money is met with a flat refusal by her husband, Mrs. Brown has a plan by which she is sure she can reap enough to make her at least more independent of her husband. Accordingly, when he leaves for the office with the unsavory epithets of his incensed wife still ringing in his ears, she paints a sign to the effect that she will do laundering and that samples of her work will appear in the front window Tuesday and Wednesday at 9 o'clock. The sign is attached to the blinds so that half is on either side. A painter passes the blinds, ornate with the "attractive" sign, and one of the ladders gets caught in a blind. An effort is required to dislodge it, with the result that the blind is swung back, leaving only the one side of the sign in view. It is so arranged that the following part of the sign is left: "Notice: I undress in this window on Tuesday at 9 o'clock. Mrs. C. Brown." The scandal mongers immediately got their heads together and the result is that a crowd gathers in front of the window, principally men. Mr. Brown is telephoned for and after much excitement the other blind is swung back in place and Mrs. Brown gets the money she originally asked for. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
