The First Gray Hair

• Watchlist

A young fellow during his vacation to visit with relatives. Two of these, his cousin and his niece, are in love with him. He, being rather a flirt, is flattered by the attentions of both although his heart tells him that the younger is in possession of his affections. One evening, while sitting with his cousin, he proposes, but is refused, for she, with a woman's insight into these matters, knows he is only fascinated for the time being. She sends him away to find her niece, and the following day she sees that her premonition was correct, for the man has proposed marriage to the younger girl and has been accepted. Then the elder, when retiring for the night, finds a gray hair, the first of many she knows will follow.
