Goldie, aged 6, where the former makes a meager living for both by coloring cards. The chief delight of the baby is her flower, on which the sun shines for a few fleeting moments at three o'clock in the afternoon. John Glenarm, a young draughtsman, sees the girl in the window. While on their way to eat lunch in the park the child is nearly run down by an automobile, but is saved by Glenarm. A love affair, sponsored by the child, develops. But Glenarm's salary is too small for matrimony. Just as he is about to request a small increase, his employer announces that the city's principal banker will pay a $5,000 prize to the architect who will design a house to suit him. Glenarm puts every ounce of ability into the contest, and wins it. His salary is trebled and Helen and Goldie leave the tenement for their new bungalow, far less pretentious than the banker's palace, but also far more homelike.
