The husband so far forgets his marital vows as to pay attention to another woman. A sale is announced at a leading jewelry store of a wonderful pearl. Both the wife and the woman, with whom Austen is infatuated, covet this gem. Austen buys the pearl and leaves his card with the salesman. Naturally thinking it is for his wife, it is sent to her. Austen returns too late to prevent the serious error. He is frantic with worry. The faithful Mrs. Austen, receiving the pearl, realizes at once what has happened and, shutting her eyes to the tragedy in her life, she forwards the pearl to her husband's object of attention. The woman receives it and is overjoyed. When Austen calls he is dumbfounded to find that the pearl has arrived at its proper destination and the selfishness and shallow love of the woman opens his eyes. A quarrel follows and in a rage she returns the pearl to him. Returning home he presents the jewel to his wife and with bowed head realizes that he has been neglecting a pearl of great price at his own hearth. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
