She uses her influence in keeping the other employees from losing their positions, too, and in return is invited by Madge, one of the stenographers, to a party which Ruth finds too gay, and goes home. Ruth is scorned by her new employer's fiancée, who comes to the office to see Bartwell. When she accidentally learns that the engagement between the head of the firm and the girl has been broken, she shows her sympathetic understanding by giving Bartwell a motto which she had had for years on her desk, "The Great and Best Things of Life Are Free for the Taking." Then, troubled at thinking she has overstepped her position, she hurries to the street, and does not return to the office next day. Madge is sent for her. On her return Bartwell realizes what a splendid woman Ruth is, gives the other employees a half holiday and tells her that he is going to take the greatest and best thing in the world, herself.
