Taking Her Measure (1915)
Wifie insists upon a new dress but Newlywed cannot see their way clear to get what will fulfill her wishes. Wifie sees an ad wherein Rudolph Cutter offers to supply $75.00 gowns for only $25.00. She finally persuades her husband to take her to Cutter's establishment. Hubby, however, does not like the way in which Cutter takes his wife's measurements and objects. Cutter assures him it is all in regular form but Hubby, nevertheless, takes his wife away. Wifie, intent on getting one of the new gowns offered at such a bargain, again communicates with Cutter, who calls at her house that evening with samples and his "ever ready" tape measure. Hubby, coming home, meets the obnoxious ladies' tailor again in his wife's company and throws him bodily from the house, together with his numerous samples. Later, Wifie goes down to Cutter's establishment for the first try-on of the new gown. Hubby learns of where she has gone and, greatly enraged because he has forbidden his wife to have anything to do with the tailor, he rushes down to the place. Wifie, meanwhile, has slipped off her regular dress in a dressing room and is waiting for the woman assistant to bring her unfinished gown to her. By an unlucky mistake she finds herself locked out of the dressing room, which closes with a snap lock. Fearing to be seen in her state of negligee, she rushes away in an attempt to conceal herself. The only door open is the door to Cutter's private office. She rushes in and closes the door behind her. Her husband, breathless, rushes into the Cutter office and inquires about his wife. Cutter denies her presence. Wifie, hearing her husband's voice, answers him and comes to the door and hubby, incensed at finding his wife in a strange man's office in such unconventional attire, gets excited and, drawing his gun, gives Cutter a merry chase. Matters are finally settled, however, when Cutter's assistant explains to him that Cutter has been with her all the time and has not yet seen Mrs. Newlywed. This explanation proves satisfactory to the irate husband.
