Circumstances compel her separation from the child she so cherishes and idolizes. She becomes a nurse to the young baby of a fashionable couple. The comparison of her own child to the ward, palls her more and more as time goes on, and causes her deepest melancholy. So indifferent is her mistress, that she even uses an intercepted letter of Joan's as curling papers. Quite by accident, Joan discovers the crumpled letter, advising her of her own child's sinking health. With a heart overflowing with anguish, she upbraids her cruel mistress for her heartlessness and hastens home to tend to her own dear little babe. At the end of the film a contrast of the two mothers is presented in unique form, at opposite sides of the picture. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
