Could You Blame Her (1914)

Bob Brown plans to buy his wife a birthday present. He decides upon a gown of the prevailing mode, and selects a modiste for the task. A model physically fitted to Mrs. Bob's measurements is advertised for. Simultaneously Mrs. Bob decides that she needs a new gown and fate leads her to the same purveyor of things feminine that has been selected by hubby. She accepts the offer to become a temporary model and incidentally learns that "Mr. Brown" is having a gown made for his wife as a birthday surprise. Hubby is summoned for his first inspection of the finished gown as displayed on the living model. He is delayed and Wifie seeks to turn the tables by flitting to his office arrayed in her new finery. The modiste notifies the police that the gown has been stolen. Mrs. Bob is arrested and lodged in a cell. She is ultimately rescued by Hubby. The moral is, "Don't try to fool your wife."
