Jack Alliday, a young bank clerk, is in love with Margaret, who finds time occasionally to slip away from her sewing to spend a short period in Jack's company. Margaret's mother is averse to the match, and when Jack breaks the news to her that the couple have become engaged, she refuses her consent to their marriage. Margaret continues to work as a seamstress, caring for her mother continually. Jack has become attracted to Ruth Maitland and in time they are married. To add to Margaret's sadness, Ruth engages her to make her wedding gown. On one occasion, as Ruth is trying on the gown at Margaret's home, Mrs. Maitland remarks to Margaret that she thought, at one time, she and Jack would make a match. The remark cuts Margaret's heart like a keen-edged knife. Some years have passed. Margaret, showing the effects of worry, work and years, is still attending to her mother, now an invalid. The latter remarks that she feels that she has only a short time longer to live and wonders what will become of Margaret. With a sigh, Margaret suggests that it is rather late to be thinking of that. After her mother's death, Margaret happens to be passing through the park and sees Jack and Ruth with their children having an enjoyable time at a picnic. Other children are there, and each seems to be mocking her. Slowly she returns to her room alone. She has faded, as have many others, for "Full many a flower is born to blush unseen. And waste its sweetness on the desert air." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
