What a hideous fate. Is the Bible so
terrible tnat even the sight of it is
unbearable to one so proud and sensi-
tive as a woman must be who lives as
this woman you quote so glibly lives?
"Unfortunates." you call these wom-
en and so in the name of all that is
pitiful they are but why do thev go
on being "unfortunates?" If they do
not like the life why do they not leave
it?
Sorry for these women' Yes of
course I am. I am sorry for a leper
too cruelly sorrj for him sorry for
the murderer who must suffer the pen-
alty of his crime but not so sorr that
I feel it my dutj to ask the lepcr to
spend the week end with my little
children not so sorrv for the mur-
derer that 1 think I should give him
a new suit of clothes a good gun the
key to m front dooi. and tell him to
go ou out and kill some more people
so I can keep on being sorry for him.
I am sorrv for the little foolish
girl who is dragged into a hideous life
b this ver woman and her kind
I am sorrj for the little mother who
holds her little brood close to her
heart and goes to bed hungr and rises
huni?r to work hard She is i.oung and
pretn too lisrht heai ted. too. lonely
too fond of pretty clothes too She is
not "driven" to that life because she
i- afraid she might be insulted b tht
ff r of mnial work

I am tired of this talk of the bmumati-
ity of woauu to woman.
Who i3 it that is Inhuman. I should
like to know the woman who does the
right thing tne unselfish thing the
noble tiunK the decent thing no mat-
ter now haiu it is. or the one who
lu-ks in the sjtadow for a chance to
i U.e tie holiest woman's heart out of
her breast and hold it up to be laughed
at in the red light district'
Shall the red light district go? I
do not know. I do not pretend to oe
wise enough to know But one thing J
do know and that is that I lu lieve it i!
time to bein u be ju--t a 1 ttle sorrv
for the womai. who l.-s in the horre
this girl from the i 1 i-g t does hot
best to desolate.
I wonder how the plain even do.
