In a frolicing mood she introduces the 'laundress an her mother and the artist, fascinated by Mary's beauty, begs to paint her portrait. It is not long before they find that they love each other, but Mary.'s real mother, hearing of the escalade, is highly indignant, especially as she intends oj> anfbilious match for her daughter. So Mary has to return to the city. She enlists her father's sympathy, however, and together they visit Bruce's studio. A misunderstanding arises through the presence of the model at (he studio.
