Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Henry Latimer’s wife Mary becomes imbued with the tenets of the “Beautiful Thoughts” — those people who believe that if you think nothing but beautiful thoughts about everything and everybody, your soul will expand like a flower to the morning sun, while you yourself will become transcendentally beautiful . . . or words to that effect. Henry is a perennial grouch and getting tired of his wife’s ridiculous posing and speeches, and Miss Todd, her “Beautiful Thoughtist” friend and teacher, determines to cure his wife of her fad. He has a few “beautiful thoughts” of his own, takes some girlies out to dine, and after absorbing a quantity of wine, returns home in a “beautifully elated” mood, and makes love to Miss Todd in his wife’s presence. That drives all the beautiful thoughts out of Mrs. Latimer’s head in no time, and Henry’s plan to cure his wife of her foolish notions succeeds perfectly. She humbly promises to leave “Beautiful Thoughts” alone and sends Miss Todd away in a hurry.
