She wants to become a teacher at a charitable kindergarten. Her mother will not listen to this. Mrs. Morton, another society leader, has a son, Jack, who runs away from all his mother's balls. She insists upon his coming to one. Jane and her mother, with cousin Vera, attend. Jack is forced to ask Vera to dance, but he makes a bad job of it. Jane with her scowls frightens every one away. She seeks refuge in the conservatory. She sees Jack trying to take Vera around the floor and laughs. Later he stumbles into the conservatory. Jane tells Jack of seeing him dance. They laugh and get a bit friendly. Next morning Jane says she will leave home if she is not permitted to go and teach. Her mother consents. Jane finds her element at the kindergarten. One day by chance she meets Jack downtown. She asks him in to see the work. He goes. Jane's mother, paying a visit to her obstinate daughter, finds Jack and Jane in the midst of a hilarious time in the kindergarten. Perfectly satisfied, she returns home. A few nights later Jack calls upon Jane. In the parlor they have no trouble in entertaining each other. Jane's mother stumbles in just as Jack is handing the girl a bunch of flowers, and immediately comes to the wrong conclusion. She thinks the two are in love. Excusing herself, she leaves. Jane attempts to explain, but Jack takes her into his arms and they become sweethearts. Written by
