Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? John Wilson and Grace Livingston are sweethearts. John goes to the city. He writes a letter, telling Grace to keep their secret and as soon as he gets a position they will be married. Grace’s aunt finds this letter and makes Grace leave the house. Grace goes to the city. Her aunt returns John’s letter in which he gives his address, and so they lose track of each other. Grace gets a position in Mrs. Day’s dressmaking establishment, and Mrs. Day gives her a home. A little daughter is born to Grace. Sixteen years pass. John Wilson, now a successful lawyer, is engaged to be married to Gloria Ashton, a society girl. Grace, by this time, has a dressmaking establishment of her own, and Gloria has her make a gown for her. Grace delivers this gown herself and John happens to be at Gloria’s house, in the room alone, when Grace comes. They recognize each other, and John takes Grace into his arms, happy to find her again. Gloria sees them embracing and immediately breaks her engagement. John follows Grace to her home, where they tell of their experiences since they had parted, sixteen years ago. Together they look out of the window into the garden, and see Florence, their daughter, among the roses. Grace tells John that Florence has been brought up to think her father dead, that it is too late now.
