Brought up in’ an atmosphere of love and contentment, Valerie feels keenly the loss of her parents. Her life with I.ouis Martin is not happy, tor he does not understand her. Wheu Preston Sperry asks Martin tor Valerie’s hand, Martin gives consent. As Sperry’s wife Valerie finds all her artistic tendencies and bright nature crushed. On the birth ot a little son, Valerie finds a new interest in life. But here also she is opposed by Sperry, who does not believe in the artistic training of his son. Valerie, in desperation, goes back to her art studies. She and Hugo St. Clair fall in love, and leave for Europe.
