Her fame as a saleslady was spread far and wide by her many admirers. Many a traveling man left the hotel, cherishing the remembrance of Kitty's smile. But while she jollied them along in furtherance of her duty, there was a dead line set to the familiarity of any presuming male, and when that was reached Kitty was quick to tell them they were on the wrong track. Jerry, the house detective, and Kitty were great friends, and Jerry kept a protective eye on the girl. John Wells and his wife had got to the point where they got on each other's nerves and had frequent disagreements. The state of affairs reached a climax when John started to punish their child and the wife interfered. In a moment of rage he left the house and look up quarters in the same hotel as that in which Kitty worked. He became acquainted with Kitty and was a frequent visitor to her stand. Kitty, with her wide acquaintance, had no one whom she could really call a friend and as a consequence suffered from lonesomeness. Wells, too, missed the home life and became a restless wanderer. It was not strange that the two should meet occasionally and drift together. Kitty finally permitted John to take her out for dinner, but always to a moderately priced place. Their friendship grows fast. Meanwhile, Wells' wife and child miss him and wait in vain for his return. The wife has no way of locating him and finally, in a moment of pique, tries for a divorce. The news gets into the papers. Wells finally gets to the point of asking Kitty to marry him. She is reluctant and tells him she thinks he is like the rest who make love without a thought of marriage. The thrust goes home and Wells says no more. The next morning Kitty reads the news of the impending divorce. She calls Jerry to her assistance and when Wells comes to her stand and tells her that his otter of marriage still holds good after he gets a divorce. Jerry comes up and announces that the girl is his fiancée. Wells leaves discouraged, and Jerry laughingly tells the girl that his (Jerry's) wife and children would raise Cain should they know he was claiming another sweetheart. Later Wells writes Kitty begging her to meet him that night. She in turn sends a note to the wife telling of the meeting place and advising her to go there. Wells goes to the appointed place, where instead of finding the girl he is given a note telling him she will not meet him. As he turns away his little child runs forward. Wells realizes the bonds that bind him to the wife and reconciliation takes place. When Wells bids Kitty good-bye, no one sees the tears she brushes aside while ostensibly powdering her face.
