At the door of the club two little street waifs, a boy and a girl, beg from him, and be calls an officer to have them taken away. Instead of doing this the officer gives them a nickel and tells them to ride to their home. In the street car they fall asleep and when the car men find them there they decide to let them stay in out of the furious snowstorm which is blowing outside. And thus it happens that the clubman, coming home late, stumbles into the same car in the edge of the barn and finds the little waifs, but believes them a figment of his overheated brain. He soon falls asleep and dreams that the Santa Claus poster at the end of the car, advertising a toy store, comes to life, and summoning him the top of the car the advertisements of candy, clothes, shoes, etc., provides a Christmas for the two sleeping waifs. When the clubman wakes the morning after, he remembers his dream, and after filling the children's hands with money he awakens them and takes them to his own apartment. Arriving there, he sends his man out for a Christmas tree, presents, clothing, etc., and telephones the little sweetheart asking her and her mother to come and help make a Christmas celebration for these two little waifs. The little lady is reluctant, but comes to see what it is all about, at least, and of course there is a happy Christmas finish to the story. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
