What's the Ee1nedy?

A letter received from an Atlanta
matron of good family and large eX-
perience, thus discourses: "You have
Il ready pen, a quick brain and are
vote and are acknowledged to have
IS much sense as men, will you not
use your pen to have them punished,
as men are punished, for breaking up
homes?
Our young Women-both married
and single, are seen racing on the
streets day and night, apr &ren'ly ca
ger to start, what L will call an al
fair-with any man, married Or sim
gle, who has money and is willing
to spend it, in joy rides and fancy
lunches. They care absolutely moth
ing for the wives left at home by
such men, no care of the babies and
not seeking to get along in COM

er household.
after awhile there is obliged to
come a divorce. What shall L call
these women who seek attentions
after this fashion? Is it too hard
term to call them she devils?
"TheSe women doll themselves up
with money given them for family
living-mOney that is needed for
housekeeping, and when they find some
fool, not quite enough of a man, who
likes such flippant company-they
hold on to him until he gets into the
divorce court, and then they drop
hlm--perhaps without a friend to
speak a decent word in his behalf
HE is apt to get fines-maybe i'm
prisonments, and certainly much
blame. The world says what a
consummate fool he is-with a de-
cont wife and dependent children at
home, to get tangled up with such
flippant, goddess women

admit, but something ought to De

''Why should such DelilaEs go scot
free when they have used their paint

the silly person wearing pants? 1
am going to say to you, Mrs. Eel
ton, that not one man in a hundred
will start up such connection I'M

What does she care if the mans
family is wrecked and little chill

lives?
Some pulpits should make an every
Sunday reading of Proverbs, fifth,
sixth and seventh chapters. Who
can measure the country's loss?
''Why do married women leave their

with care takers who care nothing at
all, to attend movies Or eat in cafes,
or ride joy rides with men of lax
morals, married and single men?
They are generally tattlers and gos-
sipers, if nothing worse!
Some of them hurriedly cook up
some food, twice, maybe three times,
a day, and when the husband eats 1t
and starts to his daily work the paint
box and the powder rag appear, and
the next thing you see the woman
is going down the street at 2:4O
gait, seeking whom she may deyour!
The divorce court does not touch
them, or their names, but the man
gets it in the neck and his wife
at home has her hopes blasted.
"How about that Atlanta home
where a seventeen-year-ol girl went
visiting last Sunday because his wife
was known to be out of town? He
went to Jail, but she went free!
Just such goings-on will give
bad name to any community, or to
any sort of town, big or little. Such
little vampires should be kept at
home. If her people cannot control
her, as a minor, they should be hailed
into court and fined for neglect of
their offspring.
