Synopsis
The death of her clergyman husband causes Mrs. Stanley, young mother of teenage twins, to change her style of life. She sends her children to a college where she accepts a position as a librarian, discards her old-fashioned clothes, and, to her straitlaced children's chagrin, dances with an admirer at a college hop. Mrs. Stanley sacrifices her own happiness and gives up her admirer for the sake of the children, but later the youngsters are shown that their selfish attitude threatens to ruin their mother's life.
