LIFE'S TRAGEDIES
Sorrows That Await the Unwe1come
Child Who Comes Without Love or
Impulse of Heart Maternity.

From the New Orleans States So
ciety Events of the Week, May 10:
Life has many tragedies, but no trag-
edy equals the cruel destiny, the dia-
bolical drenching of sorrow that awaits
| the unwelcome child who comes to a
mothers breast without love Or the
warmth of a mothers joy or impulse of
heart maternity
The married woman who disdains
motherhood is a fungus of society, an
impassioned mould of bridge whist
hysteria, and the erratic alterations of
the meanness and falsehood of obtaining
husband under false pretenses and un-
derstandings. A fungus want no chill

cheeks, and fool to smile attendance

The unwelcome child is bound in a
tide of corroding neglect and heartless
tyranny and indifference. This kind of

hair, has but one. thougt of life, the style
and fashion of her dress and her slim

ago when a man of wealth and strong
character and independent, though soon
to wed New Orleans society girl
asked his intended bride: What about
our children to be born from this mar
IMAGE? Marriage-to me-means moth
erhood, family. That is my incentive
to marriage?" The intende bride tried
to laugh off the demanded answer
Evasion was silenced with stern words
This bride now understands that when

there will be principle, soul, a God
IN her marriage, above the hypocritical
principles of society women, who speak
no feeling but self, no object of mar
riage but sloth and the pander of society
ambitions and the feast and fat that cut
| the vitals of motherhoo into utter abb
horrence for a baby's sucking mouth
and soft caress.
The science of thought of every mans S
mind, who thinks of love and marriage,
| is the pride of fatherhood To wilfully
and knowingly deny this right of mar
riage makes the wife an embezzler, and
obtains husband under false pretenses
and communications of love- The
American marriages demand honest JUS

women feel reputation and speak de-
hant words against the true meaning OF
marriage. Such scorn of Gods law
dishonors and sharnes women. 1t is this
scorn and defiance that curses children
before they are born and makes the
divorce scandals that give a child three
fathers or more with a courts decree OF
separation, and quick rotation Of mar
