She Took Mother's Advice (1909)

Mrs. Edgerton, a pretty little bride of two weeks followed mother's advice implicitly when the old lady warned her daughter that unless she pretended admiration of anything her husband gave her he would become discouraged and stop making presents. Dresses out of the fashion and hats even worse, spectacles and collies, pictures and other atrocities are showered upon her by her fatuous husband and she declares everything to be "just the thing" though she hates dogs and the dress brings anguish to her secret soul. Even Edgerton is conscious that his wife is a down in the clothes of his selection and he is delighted when his mother in law appears upon the scene, bundles the dog out the window, throws the picture away and gives the clothes to the servant girl, returning to him his own pretty wife in the dainty garments of her own selection.
