Mrs. Albert Van Dyke, wife of a well-to-do Senator, has sent her daughter, Edith, to visit relatives at a fashionable resort. The Senator and Mrs. Van Dyke, with their daughter, have lived a happy married life until the good woman goes in for suffrage. She is elected to the presidency. Her head turned at her popularity, she neglects her husband and daughter. The gulf which is caused by this condition becomes wider and they quarrel frequently. Their quarrels become more frequent until they are ready to separate, when one day a telegram is received, saying, "Come immediately, matter of vital importance to Edith." Forgetting their bickering and troubles they go to their daughter and arrive just in time to prevent an elopement with a worthless adventurer. The daughter tells them that she has been so neglected and so hungry for the love of her mother that she readily accepted the attentions of the adventurer. A sudden light breaks upon Mrs. Van Dyke and realizing her mistake, she gives up her suffrage work and decides to devote her time hereafter to her husband and daughter.
