Occasional Wife

Greta has been summoned to the office for an executive's wives meeting by Mrs. Brahms. At first she wants a new hat for $23 but Peter bargains her down to $10 and 6 long distance minutes. Peter hires new secretary Cynthia and takes her to lunch. There they are seen from across the room by an important Brahms client Mr. Cartwright who assumes Cynthia is Mrs. Christopher. Greta arrives at the office shortly after Peter returns from lunch with Cynthia, who has been affected by the lunchtime martinis. Mr. Cartwright stops by and mentions to Peter he saw them at the restaurant. Peter madly juggles the two ladies around to keep his secret. When she finds out he's married Cynthia quits. Greta gets both the hat and the $10, which she uses to take a broke Peter to lunch. The man-in-the-middle is playing solitaire.
