Slipping Fingers (1913)

Betty was a beauty, the idol of her family and numerous outsiders. Betty's sister, Gertrude, a thoughtless beauty, returns home from school, and Warren, the fiancé of Betty, forgetting all of her virtues, falls in love at sight with the younger sister. So Betty finds that her grasp on Warren has weakened. It hurts her deeply, but, she gives up the man. Then in the course of time, the right man comes along and the old love with its bitterness is forgotten. Warren, the ex-suitor, was not much of a man after all, but Betty, in the goodness of her heart, trying to shield him for her sister, unfortunately incurs the distrust of Tom, and once again she feels her fingers slipping. However, she is so brave and so strong that she routs doubt and dissipates distrust and all the trails that hovered about her disappear and sunshine follows storm. As a finale, however. Gertrude is really grateful and fully able to repay Betty for all that very worthy sister has done for her, and when Tom, "the man," places his big, firm hands upon the throbbing, sensitive ones of Betty and lifts them to his strong shoulders, she knows there is no chance for her jeweled fingers to ever slip again.
