If the wife of a young man, just climbing toward success in his profession, is gifted with an unusually splendid voice; and if she can add to their income by singing in public; and if the husband believes that it is his duty to support his wife and her duty to be content to live within his income; under these conditions, is the wife justified in deciding on a career for herself? This is the motif of a theme worked out in this episode. Laura Price is the wife of a rising young architect. Tom Price. Her voice brings her fame and adoration, much to the discomfort and final jealousy of her husband, for whom she finally commits an offense for which the law prescribes a terrific penalty.
