SYNOPSIS

On Christmas Eve, while Bethna
Ruggles is hurrying home with her
meagre salary, her purse is stolen.
With her family nearly destitute and
facing eviction from their home, Beth
ma is frantic. Seeing the girl sob
bing and gazing into fur shops win
dow, the socially prominent Wesley
Payne believes her longing for fur
coat responsible for the tears. He
buys one for her from passing ped
dler. Before Bethna can regain her
compOsure enough to thank Payne. ne
is gone. Bethna tries to sell the coat
to q passerby to meet her family's
needs. She is arrested for having
stolen goods. Through the kind Of
fees of Durk Fursten, young news
paper reporter, picture of Bethna is
published in the papers requesting that
the man who gave her the coat COM
municate with the police and cOrrObOr-
ate her story that it was gift. Payne
arrives and Bethna is released. He
takes her home in his limousine and
pays her family's back rent. Darl,
too, showers them with kindness but
he seems to be forgotten in praise for
Payne. Darl does not resent that so
much as the alteration in Bethna's
eyes every time Payne's name is men,
toned. He cannot reveal that Payne's
generosity was just tipsy gesture,
that he had tried to bride Darl to sup
press the story, and, failing, had
threatened the reporter. Darl con-
fesses his love for Bethna. She re-
sists his advance and admits il is
Payne she cares for.
