Rosemary has a wealthy and childless aunt, whom she has not seen since she began her education at school. Shortly after her graduation she is invited to visit her aunt and is entertained lavishly by Mr. and Mrs. Marshall. Another visitor, Grace Danton, becomes attached to Rosemary, and they become fast friends. Rosemary is delighted with the luxurious surroundings in the Marshall home, because she loves good things of this world. Stephen, the man of Rosemary's heart, is not wealthy, but a simple-hearted man of fine character and high ideals. He lives in her home town, and they become engaged. Upon the death of Mrs. Marshall some time after Rosemary's visit, Mrs. Darcy and Rosemary proffer their sympathy to the widower, who appreciates it and urges them to continue their visit indefinitely. He is especially attracted by the youth and brightness of Rosemary. Marshall goes to visit the Darcys for a few days, but before his departure he asks Rosemary to marry him. Her love for Stephen inclines her to refuse the wealthy widower, while her pride and ambition urge her to accept the opportunity for wealth and social advancement, she casts Stephen aside and marries Marshall. Notwithstanding her marriage, she endeavors to keep Stephen in love with her, promising to marry him upon the death of her husband, whose departure from this world she looks forward to eagerly, but Stephen has become disgusted with her worldly ideas and no longer loves her. Stephen falls in love with Rosemary's closest friend, Grace Danton, and marries her. Rosemary feels this keenly. The years pass, finding Rosemary a childless and disillusioned woman, but still charming and beautiful. Marshall does not die as anticipated. She finds herself a slave of the helpless old man, while Stephen and her dearest friend, Grace Danton, live in love and happiness surrounded by their children.
