One of her young married friends advises her to take money when she needs it from her husband's trouser pockets, and it so happens that a few nights after this he comes home with a collection made after office hours and carelessly leaves his coat with her for some repairs. Consequently she finds the big roll of money. Believing that it is his own and that he has refused to give her a share of it, she takes two bills, wraps up the remainder, and returns it to the pocket. Fred hands it in without looking at it at the office, and of course when he can make no explanation of the disappearance of the money he is invited to sever his connection with the firm. Returning to the house he finds his wife just coming back from having purchased a new hat with the two bills. The mutual explanations which follow make her realize her mistake and send her post-haste to the office to explain to Fred's employer what she had done. Her confession easily wins forgiveness from him and Fred's reinstatement, but when she returns to the house she learns that Fred has also learned his lesson and that hereafter the contents of the pay envelope will be divided equally between them.
