Billie's Mother (1916)

Lost in the social whirl, widow Louise forgets her little daughter BIllie. Widower John Bertram woos Louise and loves Billie, but gets discouraged because whenever he calls, it seems to be the signal for Louise to go for a spin the auto, leaving Billie in John's care. One day Louise realizes that she has been mistaken in taking Bertram's devotion for granted; tired of her coolness toward him, he has gone on a hunting trip. Little Billie also misses her only friend, and starts out through the woods to find him. That night a hard rock is Billie's pillow, and she has fond dreams of having her mother for a friend once more. When it grows dark and Louise misses her child, mother love at last asserts itself and she starts out with a party to find her. But Bertram is there before her, and the love of the child for both of them makes her see the light at last, and Bertram readily forgives her.
