She and her sister Jane receive an invitation to a reception. Jane, selfish and arrogant, is carried away with her own vanity and anticipation of making a "hit" and being the belle of the evening. Cinderella, her sister, looks at her simple and ordinary drew, which is the best of her limited wardrobe, and says she will have to wear it or stay at home. Jane says she will look like a "frump," and be out of place, anyway. Poor Cinderella decides to remain at home. Mrs. Marvin, an elderly visitor, happens into the room and Cinderella, always kind and thoughtful, makes the old lady comfortable. She is attracted to the display of Jane's finery and asks the reason. Cinderella tells her all about the reception. Mrs. Marvin asks her if she is going, and Cinderella tells her she has nothing to wear and that Jane has advised her to stay at home. The kind old lady comforts her and, assisted by the sweet young girl, leaves the room mentally resolved to have Cinderella go to the reception. She purchases a complete outfit for the girl and sends her to the festivities with the understanding that Cinderella will leave promptly at midnight. In the midst of the dance Cinderella loses her slipper, and a handsome young fellow picks it up, looks for the owner and finds Cinderella, who denies ownership. He is charmed by her natural girlishness and sweetness. The clock is tolling the hour of midnight, and hastily she runs out of the room, displaying a pair of pretty ankles and an unshod foot, which the young man mentally notes. Looking more closely at the slipper, the young man discovers the name of the shoe dealer stamped inside it. He goes to the dealer, finds out the purchaser, who proves to be Mrs. Marvin, his grandmother. He traces the ownership to Cinderella, to whom he restores the slipper, proposes and whom he weds.
