Her letters stir their sympathies, yet the two always seem to find some reason for remaining away from home and mother. As mother's birthday approaches she invites her children to come to see her. John instructs his secretary to write that he will be unable to come home, and Mary sends a card saying that some social event will claim her. But through some prank of chance the letters were not delivered until the evening of the birthday. Fate brings Mary and John together at lunch time. Each thinks the other is going home and they decide to break all engagements and surprise mother. Meanwhile with the dinner prepared and table arranged, mother sits down to the table with only the pictures of her children before her. But at last the mother's heart can bear the loneliness no longer; in spite of herself the tears will come. Suddenly the sound of an auto is heard and the children rush in and make up to the dear old mother for all the heart hunger which had been hers. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
