Plot

As described in a film magazine,^[4] Polly Heath (Hawley), a romantic young woman, runs away from home when her approved suitor, Dick Barton (Boyd), dwells too consistently upon material considerations like money and diamonds. She takes up abode with an old school chum in a new thought colony and bobs her hair and dons Grecian vestments. Her suitor follows her and rescues her from ultra modern poet Paul Lamont (Carleton) who has engineered a compromising situation, whereupon she sees his proffered solitaire in a new light and forswears romance and futurism indefinitely.
