Old Mr. Barnard finds in Lora White, one of the young women employed in the millinery department of his wonderful store, a confidante who appreciates his anxiety for his grandson, and together they devise a plot to break off the infatuation. Madame Brock and others watch what they suppose to be a romance developing between Lora and Mr. Barnard, who is old enough to be her grandfather. It is suggested to Rollie that the girl may be his grandmother yet, and he looks upon his elderly guardian's actions with disgust. Believing that to oppose Rollie's love affair will only aggravate it, Mr. Barnard pretends to approve it, declaring that he too has a right to indulge his affections. He gives a luncheon at his home, suggesting that each invite the lady of his choice. On this occasion, the natural grace, beauty and modesty of Lora appear in forcible contrast to the actress's artificiality and commonness. Rollie begins to envy his grandfather. Soon after, the old gentleman goes away on a business trip, charging his grandson to devote himself to Lora during his absence. On his return he finds that just what he has been conspiring for has happened; Rollie and Lora are engaged. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
