WHAT NEXT?

From tim: lmmemorlal 1t has
been the custom, for those people
whose lot has been cast in pleasan'
places, as regards wealth and ed l.
cation, to be looked upon as exam
Piles of living to which those less
fortunate in those respects should
aspire.
That this condition of affairs has
existed it is true, but by recent
developments in the divorce courts
any influence which the weather.
class may have as examples Of
morality and righteous living is
fast being destroyed.
1t is true "that one swallow does
not make a summer" but the recur.
ring regularity with which our Van
derbilts, Sloans, ETC., are washing
their dirty linen in public, threatens
to undermine one of the strongest
bulwarks Of our civilization, viz
vlrtuous living.
The spectacle of a woman Of
about thirty five years Of age, the
mother Of grown up sons and daugh-
tiers being divorced by her husband
and married the same day is not an
edifying one. Yet few days ago
this is what happened in New York,
when Mrs. Sloan was divorced BY
her husband, and married the same
afternoon in Connecticut to Oliver
Belmont. If such a course had
been pursued by working man or
citizen in middle class circumstances
il would have been character zed as
disgusting and put down to his poor
training or lack Of education.
No such excuse can be pleaded in
extenuation of Mrs. Sloan's con-
duct. She had everything heart
could wish for, education, position
in society, wealth, beautiful home,
and bright children. There was no
reason for her fall other than abso-
lutte selishness. Her education told
her of the wrong she Was doing, ye'
she unhesitatingly Aaunts her con-
duct in the face Of society, and ex
poets to resume her place in society
as leader of the fashionable set.
All this has happened and we
hear no protest from the "4OO" OF
other prominent social leaders, nc
reproof from our clergy, or an out
cry from the people. Is money to
do everything? Much of the details
of this contemplate case has been
hushed up and the press quoted a.
far as possible.
We say let Mrs. Sloane, now Mrs
Oliver Belmont, be made to feel the
consequences Of her sin. For tn.
good Of the welfare OF the peo.
pie of the United States let this wo.
man be relegatcd to the position her
conduct has earned her. Mrs Bel.
mont would probably pull her skirt.

fallen sisters, but We would like ia
