The widow gives Mrs. Jefferson her opinion of men, in general saying she will never marry again, as no man can be trusted. Mrs. Jefferson hotly denies this allegation, at least, insofar as her husband is concerned. Mabel dares her to test her husband's faithfulness, finally goading Mrs. Jefiferson into allowing the test. Jefferson, the man on trial, while at his lunch, meets an old and long lost acquaintance, Captain Harding. Jefiferson and Harding
