When he has gone the wife resolves that their child shall not suffer from his habit, and wrapping the baby up, takes it out. One of its little worsted socks drops unnoticed to the floor. Passing along a street she picks out a house that looks attractive and lays the baby upon the steps. An automobile turns the corner and she runs away. The youth in the automobile sees her, picks up the baby and takes it to his home, where it is received by his mother as a new member of their little family. Years pass and the child's father has become a prosperous businessman. One day his automobile breaks down near a pretty suburban residence and the young man of the previous scene, passing in his pony cart, invites the man and his wife to drive up to the house while the automobile is being repaired. A children's party is in progress and "Hunt the Slipper" is the game. And the baby, now grown, brings her own little worsted sock for use in the game. At this instant the parents enter. They do not know the child, but the little worsted sock is unmistakable. Explanations follow and the reunited family closes the little drama. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
