Sober Silk and Debt Reform in Ada Whitman’s House
Ada Whitman pressures her husband for forty dollar silk dresses while bills for a watch and slippers loom. After a letter and jeweler’s notices spark anxiety, she discovers his finances and returns the watch, halting debt. Ada then shows contrition and pays off small accounts while flaunting a newly bought dress.
