Four Days a Widow (1912)
"I will have to go to Chicago on business for a few days." This is what Jim Gaylor tells his wife Marjorie. She has heard the same story before. Jim has trumped it up to have a good time with his old friend. Harry Morton, whose wife is in the country. After Jim has gone, Marjorie visits her friend Helen, in Springdale, leaving a note, telling Jim where she has gone. In Springdale she arranges with Marjorie to introduce her as a young widow, determined to have a good time herself while her husband is "away." Jim goes to Harry's house where they have everything their own way during Mrs. Morton's absence. Unexpectedly, Harry's wife returns home and Jim thinks it is about time to "return from Chicago." He goes home and finds his wife's note. He is greatly surprised and decides to go to Springdale to see her. Arriving there, he finds her attending a reception, which Helen is holding in honor of the "young widow," who is surrounded by a galaxy of young beaux anxious to win her smiles and get the privilege of the next dance. Jim approaches his wife. She ignores him, accepting the escort of a young swell, going into the conservatory, where she is again surrounded by several attentive young fellows. Jim follows and is amazed and almost paralyzed when he hears a couple of them propose to her. In distress, Jim begs Helen's assistance, thinking that he has suffered quite enough for his little game, pleads with Marjorie on his behalf. She agrees to a reconciliation under one condition: that he will give up his "business trips," and pay more attention to her.
