Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Texas John was one, his wife the other. She vowed she’d go to the city to shop, and extracted a good size bankroll from him for that purpose. Her last words were, “Don’t dare drink while I’m gone.” But what a waste of words. John invited all his friends for a two-days’ “tout,” and they certainly made havoc of a once tidy home. Mrs. John returned, but no one knew it, for the simple reason that harem skirts do work wonders with old housewives. No one recognized her, save John, who knew her face when she smelled booze. Well, bottles and harem skirts flew about the air for a time, with the cowboys as an audience. Finally both became exhausted in the struggle, and putting on their sane attire, raised two hands upward and repeated the familiar saying, “Never again.” The boys were wise, and forming a group in the window, serenaded “a pair of fools.”
