It is the night before Christmas, and she demands a new gown for the party. Jean has received money from his parents for his return. At this moment he gets a telegram asking him to come home at once, for his mother is ill. But when Nanette begs for her gown Jean yields and gives her the money. The gown is torn to ribbons at the party, and in the morning Jean hears that his mother is dead. Nanette tries to comfort him, but he looks at her torn frock and puts her aside in disgust. He is away from Paris for two weeks. When he returns he finds Nanette has been posing for Arthur, who has given her a necklace. He begs her to return to him, as he has sacrificed everything for her, but she puts her arm around Arthur's neck and goes out with him, leaving Jean in despair.
