- Polly develops a bargain craze, and exasperates Henry Minor, her husband, to the extent that he is forced to find a cure. The last straw is laid on his load when Polly comes home one day with a pair of embroidered slippers for him that were marked down to a fabulously low price at a certain Fifth Avenue store. The fact that the slippers were not mates made no difference to Polly; she solved the problem by suggesting that Henry buy two bath robes, one to match each slipper, which he could wear when sick, and make believe that they matched the slippers by sticking out the foot that matched the particular robe he was wearing at the time. She had also bought at a bargain a record of "The Star Spangled Banner." It was cracked in the chorus, but that didn't matter, because every one knew the chorus. Neither did they have an instrument; that was a fact easily got over by buying one. Henry's cure, which worked charmingly in the end, was to buy at a bargain a set of andirons, the usefulness of which depended on the purchase of a new house with a fireplace. Polly, loath to leave her present home, shed tears of sorrow, and finally saw herself as Henry saw her deciding to look without favor on the next "special today."—Moving Picture World, March 23, 1918
