Wealthy society widow Mrs. Hardrocks makes a protégé of him, with the result that he falls madly in love with her, at least so he thinks. In the same house with Foster's Studio is little Betty Wilson, the landlady's daughter. She has formed her little existence to live in the light of Foster's comings and goings. He is her great ideal. One day in order to complete a picture for the wealthy widow he gets Betty to pose for him. She almost faints with delight and the opportunity to be near him and wear some of his lovely property wardrobe. When the ordeal is over she manages to slip out with the finery held behind her and goes to her bare, cheerless room to further pose as a grand lady, which ends in a burst of long pent up sobs. Foster gets word that he has inherited money and becomes obsessed of the idea that now he can propose to the widow. He calls in Betty and tells her all about it and she doesn't know whether to be glad or cry. She tells him he must make his studio presentable, and they set about fixing it up, with the result that he discovers a more than great liking for little Betty. However, that is not to be considered with the opportunity arising from his marriage to the widow. He gives Betty a great armful of fine clothes to put on and tells her that when they come back from being married she must receive them. Fate cheats him, for when the widow arrives to look at the picture she has her fiancé with her. Hearing them live, Betty thinks the coast is clear and bounds into the room arrayed like a young woman of fashion. There she finds Foster with his head in his hands, thinking his heart broken beyond repair. She goes to him and timidly offers her sympathy. When he raises his head and sees the vision before him he forgets that there ever was a widow, society, or art and realizes that his heart was in Betty's keeping all the time. On his knees he begs her forgiveness and love, and she gets down on her knees and snuggles into his arms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
