In order to decide between them, the publisher determines to put the two suitors to a test. "Let your mothers come and ask for my daughter's hand for you," is his plan of selection. Accordingly both young men write to their mothers. George writes his mother an affectionate letter, asking her to come and help him to attain his life's happiness, while Paul pens a very formal sort of note requesting his mother to visit him and help advance him in certain interests. Now both mothers are but plain country women, so that when they arrive, immediately is shown the difference in the two men by the reception the respective mothers are accorded. George is proud of his mother and her old white bonnet, while Paul plainly shows his shame of his mother because she too wears one. Paul at once sets about to make his old-fashioned mother into a seeming aristocrat. But she cannot pretend to be what she is not, and Paul, ashamed to introduce her, writes that she is detained at her country estate, but begs for the daughter's hand in his behalf. How different did George act, for proudly did he bring his mother to the home of the publisher. The old publisher read between the lines of Paul's letter and was pleased by the pride George exhibited in his mother. He made his choice as he said, "He who is ashamed of his mother cannot make a good husband." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
