February 23, 1940.
Lovely Mary Haines, a happy wife and devoted mother is a member of New York's wealthy "gossip" sot, One day, Sylvia Fowler, an ace-meddler, finds that Mary's husband Stephen is "romancing" Crystal Allen, a pretty salesgirl. Then Mary learns of it but for her child's sake, she takes her mother's advice, says nothing to Stephen and goes to Bermuda, But on her return, she encounters Crystal at a fashion show. They quarrel and Edith, Sylvia's friend, gives the details to a gossip columnist. The publicity breaks and as a result of it and the advice of her poison-tongued friends, Mary quarrels with Stephen and goes to Reno. Now, the eve of her divorce: Stephen calls her to say he is marrying Crystal.
