Joe Daymond, the junior partner, becomes infatuated with Lottie's beauty. In the little pink room of Daymond's establishment, where Lottie is displaying as a living model the latest French lingerie for the crowd of women patrons, she experiences her first fears as to the future, but the remembrance of her almost starving mother and little sisters holds her. Lewis De Freece, Joe Daymond's artistic advisor, also falls in love with her, but Daymond angrily orders him to keep away and continues his attentions to her. Unknown to Lottie, Joe is engaged to a wealthy society girl who is a Rescue-Home patroness and settlement worker. Joe finally asks Lottie to go away with him, but though she has learned to love this masterful man-of-the-world, she refuses. Immediately after this she loses her position in the store, and the family suffers great hardships. One cold night Lottie meets Joe, and this time, poor starved, suffering Lottie gives in to his pleading. After that, Lottie's family is secured from want, and she is happy that Joe has promised to marry her after Mr. Daymond Senior's death. Lottie's mother believes she is working again in the store, but not long afterward, Joe's father forces him to marry Ethel Gibson, which Lottie learns of when Lewis De Freece walks into the fashionable apartment where she is living and hands her a bill of sale for the place, intimating that it includes her. Lottie is horrified at Joe's perfidy and goes to the Rescue Home, where she meets Ethel and both women learn the truth. The affair gets into the papers, killing Joe's father, and Joe ends his life, while Lottie and Ethel become lifelong friends and companions. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
