The wife is naturally of a fun-loving nature, and tired of staying alone at home. One day after her husband has left on. a trip—foregoing an engagement to take his wife to the theatre —a gipsy woman calls and sells the wife a wishing-book. In this book the wife writes: “I wish to be the wife of a millionaire.” “I wish baby arms round my neck.’ And before the play is finished she experiences all the thrills of her wishes, the climax coming with the arms of a little boy and a little girl clasping around her neck, making her the central figure of a happy group.
