4 reading the sad and terrible story
Of Hazel Herdman, who murdered the
wife of her lover and then took her
own miserable life, because the wife
would not get a divorce from her hus-
band and leave him free to marry her.
The stark tragedy of such a story
breaches a sermon more powerful than
any printed or uttered words upon the
Wickedness and the folly Of young
women carrying on love affairs with
Many girls indulge in these shady
romances. Many girls are proud of
their ability to attract married men,
and boast Of such cOnquests- Let them
all be warned by the fate Of this poor
girl, for in some degree every one of
them sooner or later will share in the
agony she suffered, for while not every
love affair with a married man ends
in bloody murder, every one ends in
a bleeding heart for the woman.
The girl who permits herself to be
drawn into a love affair with a mar
ried man is not only sinner, but she
is a fool She is playing a game in
which the dice are loaded.
Woman Gives All; Man Risks Nothing
All the odds are against her She is
giving all, riSking all, while the man
risks nothing. He does not even take
marry her if he compromises her or
being sued for breach of promise if
he is faithless. His marriage certifi-
cate protects him from the conse-
quences Of his wrOngdoing and leaves
the girl to bear the burden alone.
It is useless for her to claim that he
is more guilty than she. Society will
draw its skirts away from the woman
and sneer at her with scorn, while if
digs the married LOthariO in the ribs
winks at him and tells him that he's
very devil of fellow among the
girls
The woman who chooses the prfn7-
rose path takes enough risk. Cod
knows, but she who elects to tread
it with a married man is foredo0med
to walk only upon thorns. She does
not have even a sporting chance Of
happinessi
That married man should be fas
clnatlng to an inexperienced and silIv
girl IS not surprising. For one tbiDe
ne represents to her forbidden fruiF
and the very knowledge that he he
longs to another is a certain film fo
Irritation with him.
Also, in many women. there is a
streak Of mischieVous cruelty Tt gives
them pleasure to think Of how tbev
are torturing some fat and middle aged
