FORGIVENESS OF
WOMEN SINNERS.

WCW1 1lN SiiNtNN ~ o
Says the Chicago Journal: High
society upon the golden slope and es-
pecialiy "a the city Of Los Angeles,
Cal. is torn and distracted with a
yexatious problem.
This is the question in a nutshell.
Shall the women Of the Pacific coast
set the example to society of forgiving
a woman who not only erred, but ap-
pa-ently erred without any reason?
Should we visit a woman who has not
only scorned all conventlonalities, but
who left her husband, who had given
her everything she could wish for un-
der the sun, and her little baby, to
elope with another man?'
The woman in question is, OF course
a member Of one Of the first families
of the coast-that accounts primarily
for the tremendous hullabaloo which
is being raised about the affair. The
matter is brought to an issue by the
wronged husband. who has forgiven
his erring wife. restored nor to his
household and TO his affections and
who now, after q probationary second
honeymoon in the mountain regions Of
central Mexico extending over a per-
iod OF .hree years, brings her back to
her former home and social associates
and attempts TO take up the old life
which they lived before she fell.
And society Is in much doubt and
perturbation over the question wheth-
er e can afford to forgive her and well
come her back again.
Here is presented situation that
reveals a most peculiar inconsistency

forty times a day, and whether he sin

let woman fall but once and # seems
ms Impossible to restore her 10 her
original position as Il would be to put
IA broken flower back on its stem.
To is easy enough TO quote maxims
and give good reasons, Christian and
otherwise, why there should be no dis
tinction made between an erring man
and an erring woman, The distinction
Is made In human society and viii
continue to be made perhaps, until he
present social system Is revolution-
lied.
Thomas Hardy in his Tess OF the
DUrbervilles, has laid bare the whole
subject in chat saddles and most hope
less of an his pessimistic works. He
cries fraEtlcally at the injustice Of it
but an his specula ions and theories
in regard to the reasons for the ex-
iHtoaoe OF such discrimination
against the woman end in a qles ion
to the social sphinx-why should ,his
be so?
The question probably touches one
OF the most secret places of human
nature-an essential instinct plan. ed

London, Nov. 14.-Mr. Frederick,
the British war secretary, speaking
Wednesday night at banquet given
in London in his honor by the City
Carlton club, declared that the Boers
were hiding their tracks by murder
ing the KafIirs behind them. Lord
Kitchener wired to-day" he contin-
ued, that the cold-blooded murder
Of natives had become frequent OF
late. and that two dead natives, their
hands tied behind their backs, were
found November 10 at the bottom OF

Mr.. Frederick said Great Britain now
had 1000 Beers in custody in the
concentration camps and on various
islands. and that 1000 more had
been killed or wounded, or had left
the country on parole. He added
that he believed the number of Beers
now in the field was about 10000.

intends to go through the process OF
wearing down." he exclaimed. I'VE
