Stubbs was a gallant old sport, one of the boys, and all else that is connected with the gay life about town. Mrs. Stubbs takes delight in the societies for the prevention of something, and Stubbs is constantly telling her that he wishes that she was more like herself. Mrs. Stubbs, stung by his frankness of speech, comes to realize that perhaps she is as dowdy as he says she is, and she leaves home after writing Stubbs that he will not see her again until she has made herself over into the sort of woman he prefers. Stubbs is delighted and starts out to celebrate. Mrs. Stubbs, meanwhile, has been shopping. To see her you would swear that she was hopeless, but a transformation is effected before your very eyes, and from the chrysalis of the dowd emerges a radiant and dashing young woman who soon learns to like champagne and rake in the chips at poker. She gains what Stubbs calls "class" with amazing rapidity, and takes delight in the thought of how pleased her husband will be. But meanwhile the Salvation Army has claimed Stubbs for its own, and his earnestness soon gains him promotion to a captaincy. In this capacity he goes to a fashionable restaurant to sell his War Crys, and comes face to face with his missing spouse. It is a trying moment, and both fall fainting into the arms of their friends.
