A Clean Slate (1915)
Raymond Sperry finds that his wife Priscilla is not the companion she used to be. She cares more for their baby and stays at home. He seeks diversion elsewhere and is introduced to Azamora, a famous dancer who has taken the town by storm. The dancer flirts with him and Raymond orders a bracelet engraved with her name--which falls into his wife's hands. She does not know who Azamora is, but the jeweler's clerk pities the wife and introduces her to his sister, the dancer's dressmaker, who sympathizes with Priscilla. While in the dancer's dressing room Priscilla's husband calls. Convinced of his deceit Priscilla bursts into tears and when asked says she has a faithless sweetheart. Azamora consoles her and asserts that men are worthless anyhow. To prove it she will call Raymond back; though married, he wants to elope with her. Concealed behind a screen Priscilla hears her husband protest burning love and hears the dancer's promise to sail with him next day to Europe. Raymond is dismissed and Priscilla bursts out, ready to rend the dancer to pieces, but the dancer laughs and says that she is going to the country to spend her holiday with her children. Priscilla dashes away her tears, thrusts the bracelet box into Azamora's hands and hurries out. Next morning Raymond goes to the steamer but finds no Azamora. Convinced that he has been duped he returns home, and as he and Priscilla breakfast in silence, a note is handed him and a package to Priscilla, both from Azamora. The note contains witty advice. Raymond knows that Priscilla knows and pleads forgiveness. Womanlike, she promises, and they begin anew with a clean slate.
