Their Worldly Goods (1914)
Being a husband was a new experience to Frank Mason, and as his thoughts were intense upon his business, the fact that his young wife could need a few new gowns never entered his mind, and Betty's thoughts were of gowns and society. So Betty founds herself with only the same old gown to wear to the Vonburg party. The evening of the party, she stood before her husband, gathered courage, and said, "Frank, won't you buy me a new gown sometime?" Frank's answer was a caress as he chided her for her foolishness, and thought she looked grand and sweet just the way she was. So her friends were right, she wore the same old gown. "Frank is neglecting me; he doesn't care how I look," was the unjust suspicion that transformed Betty. She remembered the words of the wedding ceremony, "With all my worldly goods I thee endow." The next morning Betty marched to the wall safe and deliberately took part of the money her husband had placed there. But a loud knock at the back sounded. Frightened, she took the money with her, answered the knock. A tramp. No, she had nothing for him, but he spied the money and sprang after her. Through the rooms they went, she barring door after door behind her. Nor did she have time to 'phone for aid, but the 'phone operator heard and summoned help. Betty hid in the clothes closet, clutching the money, hiding her face in the gown, the same old gown. When Frank arrived, the police were in his house with a captured tramp. His money was gone; his wife gone. But when he found Betty he found his money. "What a little heroine you are for saving the money," he said. But Betty confessed all and Frank saw the error of his thoughtlessness. His worldly goods became their worldly goods, and a home life full of love and without restraint began.
