However, on a shopping expedition they both select the same hat. It is a high priced hat and neither lady has sufficient money to buy it. Mrs. Jones sells some old clothing, secures the price, and heads for the millinery shop. She has just paid for the hat when Mrs. Brown comes rushing in to buy it. Mrs. Brown won't have another hat, and the ladies quarrel. Mrs. Brown, in passing the Jones' home, notices Mrs. Jones' hat on a table near the window. She studies the trimmings and later makes a cheap duplicate. Both ladies wear their hats to a garden party, and their millinery becomes ruined in a series of mix-ups. A newspaper article read by the husbands of the two ladies make the men regret that they did not let their wives have new headgear, and when each man's spouse comes home with a tale of woe, the husbands buy them each a swell hat. The ladies are so happy that they kiss and are friends again. Written by
