At a little country farm house, he meets Lillian, a typical farm girl, sweet, wholesome and unspoiled. They fall in love, and after a picturesque courtship, are married. Hugh, now fully recovered in health and spirits, takes his bride back to the city with him. He introduces her to his artist friends, but Lillian feels very much out of place in her Bohemian surroundings, and soon becomes unhappy. Francois, a temperamental, but good-hearted and sincere friend of Hugh's, sees how matters are going, so he endeavors to patch up things in his own way. After teaching Lillian to sip wine, smoke cigarettes and dance, he takes her to a masquerade ball, where, in disguise, she meets her husband. Although he does not know who she is, Hugh is charmed with her grace and vivacity, and begs the fair unknown to reveal her identity. She laughingly refuses, but when unmasking time arrives, Hugh finds to his astonishment that he has been dancing with his own wife. He is delighted at first, but when the men begin to monopolize her attention, leaving him feeling like an outsider, he gets jealous. After the dance he gives a little celebration at his studio, and Lillian offers a toast to her advent into the magic circle of Bohemia, which brings forth rousing cheers. By this time, Hugh is feeling pretty glum, but when he complains to Lillian he prefers her as her old, sweet self, she retorts, "I'm only playing the game as I've watched you play it." After the others have gone, he promises to give up his present mode of living and Bohemianism tendencies, if she will do the same. She delightfully agrees, and the next time Francois sees them he finds a blissfully happy couple, leading a simple but happy domestic life. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
