Memories of the Past

A young man and woman are engaged to be married. They announce it at a fancy dress ball on her birthday. A famous painter, however, decides to paint her picture; this leads to another love affair, and the girl finally marries the artist. Years later the rejected suitor's nephew falls in love with the daughter of this couple. The nephew gains his uncle's consent to their marriage through the striking resemblance of the daughter to the portrait of the old sweetheart, who had been the only real love he ever had.
