When his birthday approaches, she realizes that the gift which he will most deeply appreciate should be something made with her own hands. She is too indolent, however, to do the work, herself, so she purchases a fine scarf and employs a seamstress to embroider his initials upon it. The seamstress, going to deliver the work, loses the parcel. The bachelor finds it and, reading the worker's name and address upon the wrapper, returns it to her. She then conveys it to the wealthy girl, who gives it to her sweetheart as the work of her own hands. He, recognizing it, realizes her true character, and they part. Later he visits the seamstress and recognizes in her the type of girl in whom he can become interested. Written by
