The boy's heart and spirit are broken over the affair, and his life ruined. After five years of luxury, the selfish nature remains unchanged, and she exhibits a lack of consideration for others at every turn. Her modiste is unable to have her gown finished at a certain time. Irene threatens to withdraw her trade unless the gown is finished as promised. Fearing to lose her custom, the modiste overworks one of her girls, which causes the girl to lose her sight. The gown is finished on time, but the thoughtless woman flippantly decides to wear another. Her selfish nature again asserts itself, when her sister appeals to her for money to save her invalid husband's life. Irene, instead of lending her the money, purchases a racing car; and, unable to procure the necessary money, the sister is forced to see her husband die. Seized with the speed mania, she neglects her husband's warning, with the result that she runs over a child, and is only brought to a realization of her selfishness when she finds it to be her own.
