It is among them that he proposes and is accepted. Two years later Mildred dies, leaving Harrison with their daughter, Rose. While putting away his wife's wedding gown after the funeral, Harrison moves a vase of her favorite flowers and the petals shower over the motherless babe playing on the floor. It recalls to him the day of their engagement, and he determines to find solace in the rearing of his daughter. Twenty years later, Harrison, high in government councils, feels keenly the long evenings alone, his daughter having recently entered society. He meets and becomes infatuated with Vera Daracq, a European diplomatic agent. He neglects Rose to comply with Vera's whims. Vera, weaving a net about Harrison, is about to submit to his embrace when her sleeve matches in a rose bush and the resultant shower of petals awakens memories which cause him to temporarily lose interest in Vera. But Vera is not so easily balked, and soon has Harrison at her feet again. Rose is in love with Dick Charlton, a clerk in the State Department, but Harrison disapproves because of Dick's small salary. Dick suspects Vera's designs and asks his friend, Miller of the secret service, to investigate. Rose asks her father for money for a new gown to attend the embassy ball. Having recently purchased an expensive gift for Vera, Harrison refuses. In a forgotten trunk, Rose finds her mother's wedding gown and determines to wear it. The night of the ball, Vera determines to force her hand. She tells Harrison if he will give her certain papers from the office of the Secretary of State, she will elope with him to Europe where they can be married. Harrison agrees. By appointment he meets Vera in the conservatory. He reaches for her to embrace her, but she steps back and his hand closes on her corsage bouquet. A handful of rose leaves sifts through his fingers. He turns and sees Rose in her mother's wedding gown, with Dick in close attendance. The resemblance to another day is striking and the revulsion of feeling complete. He turns from Vera. Vera signals her confederates and they attempt to take the papers from Harrison. But Miller has uncovered evidence sufficient to arrest the conspirators and steps in at the opportune moment. When Rose and Dick ask for Harrison's blessing, it is given freely. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
