With a trunkful of new clothes, Mabel and her girl friend arrive at the hotel. Her friend introduces her to a rich young man, Ralph Page. He takes an interest in Mabel at once. He insists upon taking her home in his motor car. As he is unaware of her poverty Mabel is forced to write a warning letter to her mother, telling her to borrow furniture, silver, etc., from the neighbors so that the little home will look fairly prosperous. The parlor which is used as a bedroom is ready for the night when the letter arrives. Great hustling prevails. In a short time the whole place is transformed. Mabel and Ralph arrive and everything goes off smoothly. But after Ralph leaves, the room is changed back to its original state, with couch-bed and a bed made on the piano for one of the children. Ralph forgets a glove and returns for it. He is let in by the little boy. He takes his glove and leaves as soon as possible. Later he breaks an appointment with Mabel on account of business. She thinks her poverty is the reason and is heartbroken. However, they come to an understanding and he is able to assure her that he loves her just as much as he did before he knew of her parents' poverty. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
