A Timely Lesson (1911)
George Winslow became fascinated by the charms of a widow and was soon devoting more time to her than to his wife and child. Mrs. Winslow suspected the state of affairs, but concealer her grief. Her brother, Jack Norton, arrived with his friend Bob for a visit. Jack soon had the whole story from her, and he and Bob determined to take a hand. That evening there was a ball at the hotel, at which Winslow was attentive to the widow. His attentions were distracted by a handsome woman. She was attended by two young men, who were evidently very anxious for her favor. Winslow drew near for a better look and was amazed to see that the handsome woman was his wife. He forgot the widow, and Bob became her cavalier. Jack, disguised with a mustache, escorted Mrs. Winslow. Thus, Mr. Winslow was deserted. Deeply did he regret his inattention to his wife. He followed his wife and her escort and discovered them making love; the man was kissing her. Thinking her lost to him forever, Winslow returned home filled with despair and jealousy. There he took the baby in his arms and gave way to his grief. The next morning Mrs. Winslow received a note from her supposed lover, urging her to fly with him. She dropped the note, apparently by accident. Her husband picked it up and read it. Later he entered her room, where she was busy packing, and confronted her with the letter, wildly demanding an explanation. Jack entered the room and Winslow started to attack him. Jack pulled off his mustache and stood revealed. Later there was a full explanation and the last scenes spell ideal domestic peace restored to the Winslow home.
