Mabel and Tom ...See moreMrs. Brown and Mrs. Jones meet for the first time since their schooldays and both are delighted to renew their former happy friendship. Mrs. Brown has a marriageable daughter, Mabel, and Mrs. Jones has an eligible son, Tom. Mabel and Tom have never met, nor have they any desire to form each other's acquaintance. The two mothers, however, have very different ideas and decide that a marriage between their children would make a highly desirable and altogether lovely adjustment of their affairs. Then the trouble begins. Mabel, through a clever ruse, convinces Tom that she is even more unsuitable for a wife than he at first suspected and his consequent actions lead to a dreadful row between all parties concerned. All too late, Mabel discovers that she really does love Tom and is heart-broken because she cannot call him back. In short, everything between the two houses goes to smash. Time, however, heals all wounds and two years later, Mabel is enabled, through another ruse, to bring Tom to her side again and this time his eagerness to propose to her is only equaled by her readiness to accept his proposal, and Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Jones are made happy at last.
