Dorothy's Family (1911)

Dorothy is a level-headed young woman, practical in love affairs as well as everything else. She has two admirers, both bent on marrying her, but she is unable to choose between them, as they are both handsome, debonair, rich and in every way eligible. Both pay assiduous court to her and she's in a quandary as to which is more worthy. Finaly she hits upon a scheme to test them: She invites in the dirty, ill-clad neighborhood children and introduces them to the first caller; he gives one look and beats a hasty retreat. The other admirer, looking through the window, takes in the situation, and on being presented to the motley crowd, makes himself agreeable in every way, much to Dorothy's satisfaction. She thinks she has discovered his true worth and that he loves her for herself. Her mind is not disabused and she is won on the spot.
