A Child's Impulse
About A Child's Impulse
At one of her Bohemian parties, the widow Mrs. Thurston meets wealthy Raymond Hartley (Charles West), brought in by a newspaperman, and accepts his proposal. Friends warn him she is a flirt. He only believes it when he sees it, and a chum takes him to the country. There he proposes to Grace, a farmer's daughter. Mrs. Thurston finds the trunk tag, pretends to be ill, and leads him back to the city. Grace's little sister takes the return fare from her toy bank, walks into the widow's party, and pleads. Raymond picks the child up, pushes the widow aside, and goes back to Grace.
