An occasion arises one evening at dinner where the husband shows his bad side, A bitter quarrel ensues between them because of her desire to go to the theater with a gentleman friend of the family, but the butler announces her escort, who is in the drawing room. Mr. Cartridge commands her to remain at home. Giving the matter little thought she asserts herself and refusing to obey him, adjourns to the drawing room, joins her escort and leaves. As she is about to enter the auto she regrets what has happened and dismissing her friend, decides to visit her mother. Mr. Cartridge feeling that he was right and that his wife's love for him has changed, dresses to leave, but instead wanders into his study where the warm hearth fire attracts him to his easy chair. He sits and thinks over the affair. A short time afterward his little daughter enters in her nightie. Failing to arouse him she climbs in his lap and falls asleep. As he is thinking he falls into a reverie, and looking into the fire, sees the following vision scenes: their first meeting; his walk through the conservatory with his sweetheart; the proposal; the church and their wedding; the nurse announcing the newborn baby; his trip from his study to his wife's bedroom viewing the baby, and last, his wife drinking and surrounded by her many admirers in a large reception room. Mrs. Cartridge, having left her mother's home, pushes on and going up to her child's room fails to find her in her place. Entering the study she discovers her husband and demands to know where her daughter is. As she draws nearer to him she sees her child. She kneels at his feet and confesses she had spent the evening with her mother. All is forgiven and love again dominates the home. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
