Louise, the daughter of a widowed lawyer, is invited to a weekend party given by her friend Betty. She arrives a day ahead of the other guests in order to be of assistance to her friend, and at luncheon that day is introduced to Mr. Wilson, the secretary to Betty’s father. After the repast Betty has some shopping to do and asks Mr. Wilson and Louise to accompany her to the store in her automobile. They agree and while Betty is making purchases, Mr. Wilson drives Louise around the city. She is much impressed with the suave and reticent manner of the young secretary, as she has only seen the frivolous side of life. Paul Mason, a rich, but conceited young man, is among the guests that arrive the next day. He singles out Louise as being the girl of his choice and begins to shower attentions upon her. But they are not welcomed, and one evening she manages to escape from him and runs into the library to Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson, who is of humble birth, is greatly surprised to be sought out by such a charming young lady as Louise when there are so many rich men in the house. Mason learns of Louise’s action and the next day he invites her to take an automobile ride with him. She reluctantly agrees and when gone a short time he tries to embrace her. She repulses him and after an unpleasant ride they return home. Betty notices that Louise is sad and upon inquiring learns the whole story. Even though Betty tells her that she was very foolish in rejecting such a rich young man, Louise starts to pack her belongings, while Betty goes to her father to explain things. Mr. Wilson, who is in the next room, hears everything and is made very happy by the incident. After the conference with her father, Betty goes to Louise and tries to make her see things as she does, but her expostulations are of no avail, Louise being fully determined to go. Just before stepping into the carriage she returns to the house on the pretext of having left her handkerchief upstairs, hut in reality to say good-bye to Mr. Wilson. It is now or never with Louise and she hands the secretary her instructions to write her. Louise arrives home safely and after waiting a week for a letter she becomes a little discouraged. But her sorrow is short-lived for one day Wilson himself calls upon her. He shows her a letter offering him a position as secretary to the Ambassador to England. At first Louise is sad when she knows that Wilson, if he accepts the position, would pass out of her life forever, hut when he says that he would like her to accompany him if he accepts the position, she bows her head in acquiescence and falls into his outstretched arms.
