The boy, who is the Idol of his widowed mother, returns from college with a record of which she is proud. To mark the occasion his boyhood sweetheart and her mother come to spend a few days. The too-indulgent mother, however, is blind to the fact that the boy Is spending most of his evenings in full dress, which should have told her that Bohemian society was engaging his attention. A show girl, who learns that he will soon come into great wealth, determines to win him. Unsophisticated as he is, he is an easy prey. A friend of the family warns the mother of her boy's danger, which she Is loath to believe until positive proof Is presented. Pleadings are in vain for the boy Is fascinated, and so the sorrowing mother, feeling she has lost all that she has lived for, determines upon self-destruction and Is prevented only by the timely appearance of her visiting friend, who devises the plan that awakens the boy. She has the mother pretend suicide on account of the loss of fortune. This shows the boy the true nature and design of the object of his infatuation.

The little one is playing with her doll while her mother lies sick. The poor woman dies, and the child, thinking her asleep, goes downstairs In search of a playmate. First she visits an austere old maid, and by her artlessness soon melts her coldness. Next she goes across the hallway to a crabbed old bachelor and affects him the same way. The old maid misses one of her hair puffs and goes after the child, thinking she took it. While she is in the bachelor's room talking to the child, several tenement house youngsters steal a "scarlet fever" notice and stick it on the bachelor's door. This quarantines the three until the Health Officer appears and releases them. They then take the child to find Its mamma and are horrified at finding her dead. As each wants to take the child they end the argument most logically — a wedding results. THE WEDDING GOWN (Reissue— Two Parts —Sept. 26).— The cast: The girl (Gertrude Robinson) ; Her country sweetheart (Marshall Neilan) ; Her city sweetheart (H. S. Mack). Billy had always loved May Belle. They were given parental consent to marry and mother decided to make a wedding gown as a surprise for May Belle. One night when she had invited Billy to supper with May Belle there came a hindrance to their plans in the form of a letter from mother's sister. Marion, who dwelt in the city. Aunt Marlon was one of those individuals who believed in progress In life and indeed she had proved it in her own case, for she had left the country and had become the wife of a well-known man of wealth who had since died and left her all his money. But there had been no children, so it was natural that Aunt Marlon should think of little May Belle and want her to come to the city. There, as she stated in her letter, she hoped to broaden out her life and bring something different into It. There was a party to celebrate May Belle's departure for the city and her engagement to Billy. Mother and Billy consented that May Belle might go to the city and be broadened.
