Comment
When the mother of a young woman dies she leaves some money for her in trust with their pastor to use without her knowing. When the local shop has a fancy hat from New York on display that she takes a fancy to, he buys it for her annonomously, but the local start spreading gossip about them and eventually he has to reveal the source of the money.Whilst not a great plot there are good performances from Mary Pickford and Lionel Barrymore. This was the last collaboration betwween D W Griffith and Mary Pickford.
