For Love of Columbine
Back of the scenes at a theater, a boy. Pierrot, and a girl, Columbine, played at love. With the girl it was just fun, but with the boy it was real, serious, earnest love. She loved to tease him by flirting with the other boys. Soon she married a wealthy admirer and went to live in a big mansion. She thought she could tease her husband, like she leased Pierrot, by flirting with other men. He left her. In her grief, Columbine went to Pierrot at the theater. He still loved her and often visited her at her boarding house. Her grief is such that Pierrot formed a plan for a reconciliation. He put on evening clothes and went to the husband's club and got in conversation with him. Pretending drunkenness, he boasted how a pretty Columbine had left her husband and come to him. This aroused the husband's jealousy and Pierrot took him to Columbine. Their quarrel was patched up and Pierrot returned to the theater with a heavy heart to make others laugh.
