An incident of Recent Meeting.
Plainly, the woman was drunk.
Anybody could see that. Her still
comely face was flushed. She fidget-
ed and sWayed. Every little while
she burst forth into silly laughter
not the product of gaiety, but more
like the colicky grinnlng OF babes il
pain. Once she sWore. Quite often
she mumbled. Sometimes across the
ted obscene images and then she
talked in words which made the
recording angel weep.
Years Of downward living were in
her face, her dress, her drooling man
ner. A drunken man is sad enough
10 look upon. But drunken woman,
one who might have been a wife.
mother, who once was a cunning, rosy
Tipped, pink-and-cream baby, into
whose dimpled smile mother looked
with soulful enderness-saints above.
cut it was pathcuc! A sanctuary pro-
famed, innocence despatched, beauty
and purity trodden into the mire of
the gutter, the finest possibility OF
life turned into the most dishearten-
ing!
Yet around this drunken woman,
pitiable product of mans greed and
a group Of men and boys was
gathered, ieering and sneering.
They saw not the immense waste
Of precious value, the wreckage which
a rightly ordered human society would
long ago have salvaged. They saw
not the shame to themselves to look
Nth cheapness upon this tragedy
.ucy merely jeered.
lHls particular spectacle was at a
recent public meeting, where the poor
woman made so much disturbance |
nat poncemen came and put her
out, with nobody moved to thought |
IF pity. But it's like may be seen
With almost any day or night in parts
II this city.
The man who made her drunk
wasn't interfered with by the police.
The man who helped to hasten her
descent wasn't put out of the meet
ng. Only the woman was stoned
he woman who might have been
heriahed wife, a useful and honor
d mother.
Could savages have done worse?
