The change is there, yet the reason for it is beyond their understanding, until one day Miss Smith, Mrs. Kendall's seamstress, brings her baby sister to the Kendall home, for her mother is ill and she intends to find time throughout the day to care for the child. Mrs. Kendall hears the baby's laughter and the sweet music of it finds a responsive chord in her heart. At on she understands, realizes the reason for the strange unhappiness in her home. They need a child to draw their two cold-growing hearts together. They need the tie that binds. That evening it also occurs to Mr. Kendall, he hears the baby cry and he too understands. The next day troubled thoughts haunt him; he cannot work at the office, he cannot concentrate his mind, so he goes home, arriving there just in time to see Mrs. Kendall enter an automobile with the doctor and drive off. At once the green-eyed gnome of jealousy pierces his heart with its talons, he misunderstands and in a rage follows her in a taxicab. He sees her enter the home of the seamstress's mother. He realizes that charity and noble kindness have prompted his wife to bring the suffering woman medical assistance and his heart goes out to her. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
