The Two Purses (1913)
Handsome, wealthy young Gerald Warren goes shopping with his sister. On their way, a dust particle blows into his eye and he is obliged to stop at an occulist's to have it removed. To alleviate the pain, the doctor gives him a pair of green glasses to wear. At the department store, his sister and he get separated. Through his obscured vision he sees a young lady with a set of furs exactly like his sister's and carrying the same kind of a handbag. She sets down her bag; he picks it up and tells her to hurry. A floorwalker, seeing him pick up the bag and noticing the young lady's surprise, accuses him of stealing. His sister returns and his explanation sets matters straight. Warren takes the young lady in his auto to her modest home. He learns that her name is Miss Gray, and asks the privilege of calling on her. He calls to see her many times and one evening, he accidentally sees an open letter she has been writing, which discloses that she is in straitened circumstances. He proposes to her and after some hesitation she accepts him. His sister invites her to visit her, preparatory to their marriage. Through the two sets of furs two souls are made happy and Warren's sister is more than pleased.
