Imitations (1915)

Ruth and Harry are childhood playmates, but the coming of Dora, a little girl from the city, starts trouble between them. Harry continues to find his new friend more fascinating, and as the years pass he believes he's in love with clever Dora. But Ruth cannot forget. When she is a young woman she visits Dora, with whom she has sustained friendship. She is convinced that the city girl is only playing with Harry's honest love. Ruth, country-bred but by no means stupid, skillfully arranges things to that Harry starts to suspect the truth. Little by little he reviews the past, and the present appears in a clearer, less-rosy light. He sends Dora a bouquet of flowers and a ring, both imitation, and she reads his meaning: that he has awakened to the fact that her affection for him is also mere imitation. Harry and Ruth renew their childhood romance, which is soon crowned by marriage.
