Sylvia Chase applies for and receives a position at the glove counter. Mrs. Burke, wife of a millionaire and a lady of philanthropic tendencies, who had once been a salesgirl herself, becomes interested in Sylvia, and the two become great friends. Burton Tremper, a young man with very wealthy parents living in Philadelphia, comes to New York to learn the meaning of the word, "work," and falls in love with Sylvia. Arthur Meadows, Tremper's friend, feeling the affair is only an infatuation, very kindly writes his aristocratic mother that she is in danger of losing her son to a salesgirl. Mother starts for New York at once to put a stop to the affair, but Sylvia has something to say about the matter herself, and politely but firmly announces she will reserve decision. After vainly trying to solve the matter to her own satisfaction, Sylvia goes to her friend, Mrs. Burke, and asks her advice. That wise lady sums up her wisdom in the simple words: "If he loves you leave the decision to him, but don't let the world's foolish little barriers keep you from your own." Cheered by the words and strengthened in her resolution to refuse to give up Burton, Sylvia goes back to her work with a light heart, feeling certain that her lover will make a true decision. Meanwhile, Mrs. Tremper and her son argue and argue, but all in vain; both are equally obstinate, and finally, after Burton states emphatically that he intends to marry the girl he loves and the money can go hang, Mrs. Tremper angrily disinherits him. He takes it bravely, however, for he has learned what it is to work, and with a determination to succeed in his chosen profession, that of law he goes to Sylvia, tells her all, and secures the momentous "Yes" to his ardent proposal and the happiness which is theirs.
