An artist friend named John is about to paint a picture of his future wife for exhibition at the salon. Mabel, the half-sister, is anxious to pose as the model and her mother encouraged the idea. A party takes place and cousin John and Hal are there. Winnie is not permitted to join in the enjoyment, but sits in the hall to wait upon the guests. Cousin John discovers her and is struck by her forlorn appearance. Next day John is trying to make a sketch of Mabel for his picture, but she does not seem to be his ideal. Winnie must be his model. A few days later John goes to Winnie's house and finds her working. He takes her in his automobile and drives to the studio. There he finds his swell friends, and Mabel, in a fever of expectation to see the picture, supposes it to be of herself. The picture is covered with a velvet curtain, which on being drawn aside, discloses a beautiful painting of Winnie. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
