In the Garden Fair (1912)

The house next door to Mr. Cobb is rented by Mrs. Rose, a widow who moves in with her little girl Helen. Mr. Cobb is a widower with a little boy, Phil. Through the acquaintance of their two children, Mr. Cobb and Mrs. Rose are not strangers for long; their neighborliness ripens into love, and they get engaged. An unforeseen circumstance arises when Mrs. Rose accidentally discovers that Mr. Cobb often admires the photograph he has recently received of a pretty lady. They become estranged and she will not condescend to ask for an explanation. Cobb has about given up in despair. The children arrange to take an excursion on a lake some distance from their houses. Soon after they have gone, Mrs. Rose cannot find her daughter, and Mr. Cobb goes in search of his son. They go together in search of the children. They find them in a boat on the lake. They have lost the oars and cannot get ashore. Mr. Cobb gallantly jumps in the water and goes out to the boat and pulls it ashore. Mrs. Rose is so delighted over the rescue of her daughter that she cannot thank Mr. Cobb too much and they become friendlier.
