She lives in a small country town and Brace Caldwell, a young man living nearby, loves her.Mary lives in a small country town, and Bruce Caldwell, a young man living nearby, loves her. She determines to make a name for herself in the world, and when Bruce asks her to marry him and settle down to a home in the little village, she laughs at him. Finally a magazine accepts one of her stories, and Mary goes to the city to start her "career." Bruce feels Mary's departure keenly but goes to the city determined to forget her. He succeeds in business, and his employer Howard Hinton, invites him to his home where Bruce meets Hinton's beautiful daughter Muriel, who is vain and selfish, but those defects are hidden beneath a pose of sweet simplicity. Bruce becomes fascinated with her charms and starts to forget Mary. Meanwhile, Mary has risen in the newspaper field and is society editor for a prominent paper. Despite her success she longs for the home and protection she might have had with Bruce. Bruce proposes to Muriel and is accepted. They set a wedding date and Mrs. Hinton sends an announcement of the event to the newspaper with Muriel's and Bruce's photographs. Bruce and Muriel are talking merrily when the maid ushers in a shabby little old lady: Bruce's mother, who has come to the city to surprise him; not finding him at his office, she is directed to Muriel's home. Bruce greets her with a cry of welcome and takes her in his arms. Muriel draws back aghast and in disgust; she had expected Bruce's mother to be stylish like hers. Her attitude enrages Bruce and the engagement is broken off, but Mrs. Hinton tells Bruce that an engagement announcement was sent to the "Clarion," the paper for which Mary was editor. Bruce hurries to the newspaper office to prevent the wedding announcement appearing in the paper, and there finds the society editor weeping over the article. He recognizes Mary, then realizes that his love for her has never died. He slowly tears the "Wedding Write-Up" and takes into his arms the girl who gladly gives up a career to be his wife.
