The Rainy Day (1915)
A young wife sacrifices everything that her husband may keep up appearance in his business. By the time promotion comes she has fallen into a rut and her husband is unable to get her enthusiasm aroused to a point where she will go out with him to celebrate the event. Her one thought now is to save up for a "rainy day," a possible repetition of their poverty which he cannot understand. As his salary increases, this matter of saving becomes a mania with her and the one quarrelsome shadow in their lives. He meets the "other woman" and finds the contrast a delightful one. Her home is beautiful and luxurious and she, herself, the epitome of attractiveness. He makes a last effort to arouse his wife to the fact that she should spend money on herself and their home, but she still fears the "rainy day." The inevitable happens and his wife finds it out. She goes to the "other woman," after unsuccessfully pleading with her husband to mend his ways, and demands that she give him up. This the other woman refuses to do and she leaves heartbroken. The truth ultimately dawns upon her and she vows to bring her husband to her feet and then leaves him. Lavishly furnishing a new house she begins to spend the bank roll in making herself wonderfully attractive and giving dinners and affairs to which her husband isn't invited. It has the desired effect and finding the society of his wife and his home more of an attraction than that of the other woman he throws her over and seeks forgiveness and reconciliation. His wife listens patiently and then tells him she is through with him. He goes to his room broken and despondent. She hurriedly packs and is about to leave when a storm comes up. She realizes how much it all means to her. Going to his room she is admitted and he, thinking she has come to say good-bye, stretches out his hand. She turns to him, then impulsively raises his hand to her lips, but before she can kiss it finds herself in his arms. Their rainy day has arrived, for outside the rain comes down in torrents.
