The advertisement reaches a family composed of a mother and two grown daughters. The daughters have dreams of social conquests and are interested in literary work. Both write and submit manuscripts to the publisher. The young ladies become acquainted with the publisher's sons and a double love affair springs up. The mother, unknown to her daughters, writes the story of her life and submits it in the contest. The publisher's sons call on the daughters, and the girls appear ashamed of their mother with her old-fashioned clothes and manners. Though deeply hurt, the old lady says nothing. Meanwhile, the publisher reads the mother's simple story. He reads between the lines and comes to see that she is the kind of woman he could love. The mother wins the contest and the publisher's heart. The vain glory of the daughters is forever cured. All are married happily. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
