play with an immense human theme
the right of honorable human beings,
Industrious and sober, to live under
such conditions that they can bring

wrong to bring children into life OF
poverty and squalor. In her attempt

in which she has been condemned TO

comes she finds that her husband is
really worthy of her, and he tries to
shield her from all blame
