Being in moderate circumstances, Jack is too proud and conscientious to ask Alice to marry him and live in less pretentious conditions. Through unfortunate business transactions and a sudden slump in the market, Alice's father, not only loses his money, but, upon learning of his losses, is stricken with heart failure and dies, leaving Alice almost penniless. She is obliged to teach music, to earn a livelihood. Jack loses all trace of Alice just previous to her misfortune when he was compelled to go elsewhere in his business interests. Their reunion comes about in a very singular way. Alice is invited to attend a reception, and in preparation, purchases a pair of dancing slippers at one of the city stores. On her way home with them she loses one of the slippers. Jack is now settled in the city, a successful businessman, comes along and picks it up. Not knowing who the owner is, he takes it home with him. Alice does not wish to give up the evening's entertainment and wears one slipper and one of her walking shoes. She attends the dance and some of her more fortunate acquaintances who are jealous of her beauty, detect that Alice wears two different kinds of footwear. She is somewhat fussed and they ridicule her embarrassment. Jack Leigh, who has also been invited to the reception, is very much sought after by the girls. His escort happens to be a friend of Alice and she introduces her to Jack. They both recognize each other immediately. They are so pleased that they cannot hide their joy. Jack tells her about the episode of the slipper. She confesses that it belongs to her. He then takes the lost slipper from his back pocket, telling her he has carried it in the hope of some time finding its owner. She shows him her slippered foot and then the other with the walking shoe on it. Jack sees at once that the slipper he found and the one on her foot are exactly alike. He kneels down, removes her shoe and asks her to be his wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
