Dorothy describes him as something indeed unusual in masculinity but her friend Helen seems to think they are all just about the same, all weak, all need watching. To prove her point, she says she will send a note to Dorothy's husband, whom she has never seen, telling him that she has admired his talents and asks for a meeting in the park and for identification he was to wear a white flower in his coat buttonhole, and she likewise will wear one. The note is put on the husband's desk. He enters in company with a friend, a traveling salesman, reads the note and is about to destroy it when he asks his friend's opinion. His friend thinks enough of it to carry out the girl's instructions, and does so. In the meantime, hubby remembers it is his wife's birthday and he goes to a florist and purchases as a gift a very fine plant. The florist pins a white flower on his coat lapel with his compliments. Hubby proceeds home and when he enters the house it occurs to him that he has forgotten the plant, and he is about to leave the house to go after it when Dorothy enters and inquires where he is going, and wishing to surprise her he answers her that he will be back in a little bit. The sudden departure as well as the white flower, almost convinces Dorothy that her husband has accepted the invitation. Helen, the bachelor girl, goes to the park and meets the man whom she supposed to be Dorothy's husband. She does not hesitate to tell him what she thinks of him in deceiving his wife, and he finds it impossible to explain to her the joke. Hubby returns home with the plant only to find his wife in tears instead of greeting him with smiles. A few minutes later, the bachelor girl comes in and is surprised to receive an introduction to Dorothy's husband, who is entirely a different man than the one she met in the park. Jack's pal, the traveling salesman, comes in and a general explanation follows. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
