Plot: Our Mutual Girl's interest in the shops is unquenchable. Recently she spent half a day looking at all the gorgeous new gowns and rich furs at Stern Brothers. Then she was seized with a laudable ambition to visit the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, suggested perhaps by the sight of so many pelts on exhibition. So she went to the Twenty-Sixth Street office of the president and joined the society. The President gave her a pass to the Bideawee Home and the dog pound, and that same afternoon she visited the refuge of stray canines in New York. When she was shown a kennel of twenty or more dogs who were to be asphyxiated the following morning, she decided on the spot to adopt the homeless creatures and save them from such a fate. But first she telephoned Ralph Hamilton, to ask his advice, and that young man drove in haste to the kennels to dissuade her from her rash undertaking. A quarrel ensued, and Ralph left in high dudgeon. Then Margaret entered her limousine, accompanied by about a score of dogs all yelping in chorus, and started for Westchester. En route she met a brutal truck driver who was abusing his horse. Our Mutual Girl had the man arrested and promised to appear in court against him. At last she landed the dogs at her country home. Meanwhile Ralph had repented of his attempt to thwart Our Mutual Girl's humane purposes. He motored about the country in remorseful state of mind, and arrived at the house after Margaret had consigned her pets to a large yard formerly used for chickens. While she was busy ordering dog food over the telephone, he slipped into the yard, and when she returned she found him there, making much of two forlorn puppies, a fact which considerably melted her heart. Young Hamilton is beginning to find out that he must comply in the least, as well as the greatest, things, if he would win the regard and friendly confidence of Our Mutual Girl.
