Wives Who Drive Men to

By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

THE public has learned some facts
recently regarding women who

criminal work and In grating. Wives
OF gamblers. VINO understood all
about the profession OF their hus-
bands and wives of officers OF the
city who received money obtained
wlckedly by their husbands and
stored away this money for future
enjoyment.
It robs woman OF much OF the fine
sentiment which has been woven
about her for centuries 70 think OF
her as a silent partner In the evil do
ings OF her mon folk.
One likes always TO feel sympathy
for the trusting wife OF some hard
ened criminal and 10 believe she had
perfect faith in his honesty and that
the hardest part OF his punishment
would come in having his wife dis
cover his wrongdoing.
To think Of her "a perfectly cogni-
zant OF his thjeveries and satisfied
