Her Face Was Her Fortune (1913)
Mr. Wood B. Wedd decided to be married. Accordingly, he purchased a large bouquet of flowers and sallied forth in quest of a wife. First he called on Miss Molly Darling, who laughed heartily at his request and Wood B. seized his flowers and left indignantly. A chance meeting with Widow Connor convinced Wood B. that beauty was after all fickle and frail and that what he really wanted was a good, sensible sort of wife. But the Widow Connor proved to be just as much unimpressed as Molly had been, and an unexpected unwillingness on her part to part with the bouquet resulted in reducing Wedd's share to a few crushed flowers. Nor was Wood B. more fortunate in his addresses to the strong minded Samantha Perkins or to the demure Lotta Waite. At last, on the very brink of despair be was confronted by his friend Darby Jenks, who showed him an advertisement wherein a young lady, under thirty, who possessed the attractive amount of fifty thousand dollars, expressed her desire to enter into communication with a prospective husband. Wood B., overjoyed, wrote to the lovely heiress, enclosing a photograph of himself. Receiving a favorable reply, he borrowed carfare from the faithful albeit somewhat reluctant Darby, and set out for the home of his adored in distant California. Arrived in San Michael he hastened to the home of his intended. She was waiting for him in her drawing-room with her back turned toward the door. Wood B. entered and began his carefully prepared little speech. In the outlet of it the lady turned with a glad smile on her handsome face. It really was a handsome face, but all the same Wood B. sprang to his feet and fled with a low howl. His adored was the Bearded Lady in a circus.
