Mr. Bunnyhug Buys a Hat for His Bride (1914)
After the honeymoon, Bunnyhug and his wife, Clara, have a quarrel, and he promises to buy her a new hat if she will grant him the privilege of smoking in the house. They see a beautiful creation for $85, and his wife insists unavailingly on his buying it. They have a worse quarrel than before, and Clara slips on a banana peel, spraining her ankle. She is carried home and put into a wheel chair. Bunnyhug remorsefully promises to get her the much desired hat at any cost. He tries at the store, only to find it has been sold. He buys all kinds of millinery, but his wife goes into tantrums when she sees them. He sees the woman with the hat and tries to grab it from her. Her husband, a little sawed-off, interferes, and proves to be "some scrapper," for he leaves Bunnyhug with a black eye and a bruised nose. Arriving home in a towering rage, Bunnyhug tells Clara, "Now you come out with me and buy a hat that suits you." Grabbing the handle of the wheelchair, he wheels her through one store after another, scattering people right and left. They buy three hats, but she does not like any of them, and her husband is about to give up in despair when he sees the lady with the hat and her husband, on the brow of a hill ahead of them. He puts on full speed, only to find the couple already at the bottom of the hill. Determined to catch them, he takes the three hats, and deserts the chair, which, having no brakes, starts off by itself. He runs down the hill, catches up with the couple, and commences to bargain for the hat. The lady finally consents to exchange it for the three Bunnyhug has. Just then they hear a shriek, and Clara, in the wheelchair, goes past them in a cloud of dust. Recovering from his amazement, Bunnyhug starts after her and finds her, unconscious amidst the debris of the overturned chair, by some miracle, unhurt. When she comes to and sees the hat she is filled with joy, and gives him a strenuous hug.
