False Light of a Tenement Woman and Child Charity
A drab shop counter clerk endures a hollow life until she mistakes a chance to help a baby for a personal rescue. She hides the infant from a concerned policeman, finds purpose in motherly affection, then loses her job after the ruse is uncovered. A photographer’s memory contrasts wealth with maternal sacrifice, ending at a 1912 charity picnic offering prizes for a Catholic school fundraiser.
