Mrs. Donald, a wealthy customer, calls and asks Edna to try the dress on she has bought for her inspection. It answers her purposes, and Edna is instructed to deliver the dress that night, on her way home. The thought comes to Edna's mind to keep the dress overnight and wear it to the party. She dresses herself in the costly raiment and makes a dazzling figure and more especially in the eyes of her proud escort. She is in the midst of the dance when her dress is torn by a passing dancer. Frightened, she hastily withdraws with her escort, and returns to her home, to spend the balance of the night in a vain effort to repair the damage, but she finds it impossible. In the morning she delivers the dress to Mrs. Donald, who discovers the tear, immediately returns the garment to the modiste and demands an explanation. Edna is accused, after an investigations, of being guilty of ruining the gown and is on the point of being arrested when Mrs. Donald feeling sorry for the poor girl, pays the bill and tells Edna she hopes the lesson she has just learned will be a lasting one.
