MISDIR ECTED SYMPATHY.

A man in New York is the subject of
much sympathy because he has been
compelled to secure a divorce from his
wife, who has become an habitual
drunkard. The family is one of the
proudest in New York. The couple had
millions of dollars, a town mansion and
a country house and d steam ocean, go
ing yacht.
The wife was leader in society. She
drank wine with the gusto of man
about town. She went the pace that
kills. She is pronounced now only a
common drunkard-and her husband
deserts her. That is all. In an hour of
need he turned his back upon her to let
her go her own course, and there is
sympathy not for her but for him.
Drink is as likely to become a mad
ness with a woman in the highest cir
ces as with the commonest drab of the
streets. if persistently followed. Inc
briefly does not confine itself to any
particular station in society.
1t is just to believe that the woman
has fought against the thirst which was
consuming her, and is fighting against
it today. She has suffered torments
mentally and physically, and it would
Seem that when the desire grew upon
her until it became a part of her then
was the time when her husband
hsould have demonstrated his fidelity
and gameness. The woman who Sc
cures a divorce from a drunken, bru-
tai and improvident husband is right
There is no similarity between the two
| cases. There was nothing to show that
, the society woman had been vicious
| She was only an unfortunate. 1t is
possible, too, that the man is partly
| to blame in encouraging drinking hab-
| its. That is very common and it is
more than brutal-it is criminal.
| Sympathy should go to such unfortu-
nate women in their efforts to rescue
| themselves from the cruel hold OF
drink.
