The book centers around Dorothy Glenn, a spirited and carefree young woman working in a book-bindery in New York City, as she navigates the complexities of love and friendship amidst her ambitions. The story explores Dorothy's relationships with her fellow working-girls, her flirtation with a dashing streetcar conductor, Harry Langdon, and the challenges she faces as she desires a love that transcends her modest background. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to a lively group of young women, led by Dorothy, who is full of hope and vitality. Conversations quickly turn to the prospects of finding love, revealing the girls' aspirations and insecurities. Dorothy becomes infatuated with Harry Langdon, a young man who reveals a mysterious side when he is not just a streetcar operator but also a law student engaged in a wager. Their budding romance is complicated by Dorothy's existing engagement with Jack Garner, a devoted but less affluent young worker. The narrative captures the excitement, naiveté, and the inevitable drama of young love as relationships clash amidst the backdrop of societal expectations and personal desires, foreshadowing deeper conflicts ahead.
