The Fable of the Undecided Brunette (1916)

A dark-eyed maiden was being rushed by two candidates, one a cheap man, the other a provider. The cheap man was trench broke and could be kept busy changing the records on the phonograph. The provider was a financial featherweight. The brunette was up a stump when it came to making a choice. Sue could not bring herself to lean against a stingy old thing who never unbuckled. If she married the provider he would give her everything he owned, but what he owned you could put in a steamer trunk. Auntie's advice was for girlie to center her affections on some tractable person who was neither a prospective pauper nor a close-fisted clam. Brunette falls desperately in love with a general manager of set habits and calm, untheatrical generosity, who put things on a business basis. Moral: It is necessary to make a few purchases both before and after marriage.
