The Monogram &apos;J.O.&apos;

When a woman sets out to purchase a shirt for a man, trouble is bound to come. Every woman since Eve has inherited a cruel, almost vicious taste for men's wear, and they all seem to attain a climax of torture in selecting men's shirts. It all starts when Mrs. James Ogden decides to remember her husband's birthday. Being a woman, she decides to buy him a shirt because it's useful and something to wear. She monograms his initials on the shirt and the pattern she selected for both the shirt and the monogram was louder than a suffragette's meeting, and the innocent victim decides to make short order of it. As he goes on the road in a few days, and to please Mrs. Ogden, he wars the shirt. In other words, he takes the "crime" with him. The shirt announces Ogden wherever he goes and he decides to leave the shirt in the hotel, with a farewell bow. He has concealed it in the bureau drawer of the room he has just vacated, and goes along in a happy thought of relief. William Smith, also a traveling salesman, stops at the same hotel a few days later and when leaving, he runs across the shirt with the monogram J.O. in with his laundry. At once dark thoughts enter his mind. His wife had packed his grip, where did she get that shirt from? Who is J.O.? Gloomy ghosts of his wife's infidelity tear his heart and he writes her demanding to know all about the shirt. His wife is puzzled, perplexed, and heartbroken over the accusation, and to vindicate her honor and solve the queer mystery, she hires a detective. He visit the hotel and finds that the man who occupied the room previous to Mr. Smith was James Ogden (J.O.) and after discovering this, he gets the forwarding book and finds Ogden's home address and starts out to have Ogden explain. Meanwhile, Ogden returns home and his wife inquires for the whereabouts of the shirt. Ogden replies he has sent it to the laundry. The truth dawns on him when he realizes that he must return and get the shirt and he is much worried to know how to arrange matters when the detective arrives and saves Ogden from a situation that might prove serious. He agrees to face Mr. Smith and tell him all about it. He makes it possible for the Smiths to go on their marital way in peace with doubt and misgivings dispelled. The reel is full of laughable situations and situations worth laughing at.
