Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Arnold Graves falls in love and marries Lettie, his mother’s seamstress. For marrying beneath his station he is told to leave the house. Five years later, Lettie, now a widow, returns to her mother-in-law’s house for aid, but is refused. Just about this time Mrs. Graves is going to Europe, and, while riding in her automobile to the station, she sees a little boy with two kittens which he is going to drown. The note that she sends by her chauffeur to the housekeeper to care for the little kittens, proves an opportunity for him to substitute the little children in place of the kittens. Some time later the housekeeper sends a letter with a photograph of the children, saying that “the kittens” are getting along nicely. In the meantime, Lettie manages to get a position as chambermaid in the same hotel that Mrs. Graves is stopping after her return from abroad, and, in cleaning out the room, sees the photograph of her children. The loss of a brooch in Mrs. Graves’ room throws suspicion upon Lettie, and, after a trying experience, it leads to a reconciliation with her mother-in-law.
