Synopsis
Young and wealthy Edith Folsom, whose highest ambition is to have a score of admirers at her feet, leaves her local boyfriend, Ned Lorimer, for the city. On the train she encounters a schoolmate, Lorna Lear, and Lorna's cousin, John Blaine, who promptly falls for her. On the night of Lorna's ball, Edith meets H. H. Van Horn, an elderly banker who brings her home in his car. Scolded by Lorna, she runs off to a hotel; then, when her money is depleted, she takes a position as Van Horn's secretary. Two days later she meets John, and they are married. When Van Horn declares his love for her and is overheard by his wife, Edith resolves to reform and take an interest in Mrs. Van Horn's social work.
