Synopsis

After the death of their mother, Eleanor Anderson has to function as a parent to her younger sister Jane. Answering an ad for employment in the paper, Eleanor becomes "Isis the seeress." One Sunday in the country, Eleanor meets Ernest Bickley, the profligate son of a wealthy family, and he begins to pay frequent visits to have his fortune told. Meanwhile, one of Jane's escapades with the married Charles Hamilton results in her being named as a corespondent in a divorce case. This produces a scandal in which Eleanor's rather than Jane's picture is run in the paper. Mrs. Herriard, who has designs on Ernest, tries to upset matters by showing a group of friends the item in the paper. To save her sister, Eleanor takes the blame for being the woman in the case. Her innocence is proved, however, as well as Jane's, when Mrs. Herriard herself is shown to be the woman. All ends well as Eleanor and Ernest marry.
