Such a one is handsome Mrs. Leavitt, a self-centered, selfish person with everything that wealth can command. She consults much with her mirror, which tells her she is fair. Her husband brings home a friend. Major Schmall, a brave man, and his war record and medals attract her at once, but her attentions and flatteries happily only bring disgust to the stalwart soldier. She next joins the rush to Alberti's studio. He is the latest rage of society, in truth an unscrupulous artistic adventurer. He at once begins to prey upon the vanity of Mrs. Leavitt, and secures what he is after in the way of a "sitting." Before her picture is completed, however, that vain changeling becomes a worshiper of Farar, a noted tenor, and forgets her engagements at the studio. In the interim, the crooked artist has used one of his female accomplices as a model, to complete Mrs. Leavitt's portrait. Then her husband receives a curt note from the artist, which informs him that his wife's picture is finished, but he had better view it alone and bring the fee at the same time. Mystified, Mr. Leavitt goes to the studio, and is shown a picture, purporting to be his wife, painted in nude. Of course, this starts something. The artist declares, "It may be a 'fake,' but who would believe it? If you destroy it, I will paint another one, so you had better pay up and avoid scandal." This precipitates a violent fight. The up-shot of it is that he takes the picture home to his wife; she sees the great peril she has escaped, and it brings her at once and permanently to her better senses.
