Twice she refuses his proposals of marriage. But her teacher, Matthew Bowden, realizes that though she has an excellent technique, her work is lacking in feeling. He sees that Darby is in love with Marian and hopes that through this channel the soul of the young artist may be roused. However, when Marian at last accepts Darby, she is prompted by sudden jealousy when he feigns interest in another girl. Buried in her new life as wife and mother, she has no time for her painting. When her little girl Bess is three years old, Bowden comes to visit his old friend and former pupil, and encourages her to take up her art studies again. Soon she presents him with a picture in which he recognizes the spirit which formerly all her attempts lacked. But little Bess also has artistic if misdirected, instincts. She gets hold of the canvas and daubs it beyond recognition. Bowden's and Darby's consternation is great. But Marian herself, hugging the teary, penitent child, tells them that her dearest interests in life are her home, her husband, and Bess. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
