Houses of Glass (1915)

A young married woman, happy in her husband's love, hears gossip reflecting on bis fidelity. The gossip is a foul conception of an unclean mind, but so insidious is it that it enters her heart and slays her Faith before she is aware. Deeper and deeper it drives her into the maze of Disbelief, until she is induced to spy on him and his suspected stenographer. In her surreptitious errand she is discovered in a compromising, though innocent position in another man's office, and again Scandal, that "snowball of Society," is tossed on its endless journey by the willing hand of Gossip. She is named as co-respondent in a divorce suit, and when he hears of it, the husband himself feels the hand of Doubt clasp its icy fingers about his heart. Doubt steals away his Reason, he slays the innocent man, and must look forever on the world through the cold bars of a murderer's cell. His wife must live always in the shadow of her dark Doubt and the good name of his stenographer is tarnished by the slimy tongue of Scandal. Who Pays?
