Previously their married life had been one of bliss. Two charming children have blessed the fond parents during their happy married life. On this particular night in mention the little girl, Dorothy, four years old, was very sick. The mother notices the baby, a girl of two, creep into the room. She takes the baby up in her arms and carries her back to bed. The father arrives, looks into the room, decides not to disturb his wife, throws himself on the couch and goes to sleep. He dreams that Dorothy is very sick. He goes to the club and gambles, loses a lot of money and leaves. He then imagines that the baby has died and, rushing into the bedroom, finds his wife has committed suicide, by shooting herself in the head. He is prostrated. His wife enters the living room and finds her husband asleep on the couch, he awakens him. He is so overjoyed at seeing his wife and realizing it was all a dream, that he clasps her in his arms and promises her that he will never go to the club again. He seats himself at a table in his living room and tries awfully hard to play a game of solitaire. The boys at the club call him up and ask him to come and play a game. The temptation is too strong; he cannot resist. He goes to the club, sits down and starts to play a game. The cards are dealt and he holds three queens in his hand. These cards dissolve and he sees the faces of his two loving children and his darling wife. This is too much for him. He rushes from the club, goes to a nearby florist, where he purchases an enormous bouquet of chrysanthemums and takes them to his wife, who is awaiting his arrival with open arms.
