10 Shades of Rouge

Elsie has come to fancy painting her lips with a vibrant red rouge, but her husband disapproves. So much that he wastes the last seconds they spend together before he goes off to war telling her to remove it and throw it away. She does as told begrudgingly, and starts to get used to life on her own while he's away. When she starts to feel lonely, she contemplates striking up a friendship with her neighbor even though she has some past, one-sided resentment towards the other woman. While on the fence about it, Margaret seems to make the first move for her. Elsie eventually comes to realize just how wrong she's got Margaret after actually getting to know her.
