My Wife's Hat (1911) Online
Mrs. Durand is furious. Her milliner has failed her, and she will be late for the dinner party! She asks her husband to go and buy another hat for her. Mr. Durand is unwilling, but finally gives in, and starts off to purchase a new hat for the dinner party. He soon finds that the buying of the hat is the smallest portion of his trouble. It is the getting of it home that proves to be the great concern. The hat seems to be the target for every projectile on the street and every scurrying pedestrian. At last, when he reaches home, you would not recognize the hat, and Mrs. Durand's reception is not as loving as it might be. Happily for Mr. D., he conceives the idea that he will make over the hat, and he displays to his astonished wife the wonderful art of which he is master, and under his clever hands, the hat, in a twinkling, is turned into a marvelous work of fashion. Needless to say that the lady's mood is somewhat changed, and her thanks to her dear husband are most effusive.
