He who dares to meddle with a social evil must be prepared to encounter wrath and opprobrium. Perhaps it may seem a bitter satire to describe the often over-tasked wives of Britain as a privileged class, but it is a fact that the degradation of the outcast women is the price paid for the main- tenance of the wife in her position of social privilege. For this degradation is chiefly due to the secrecy enforced by our social refine- ment. It is evidently not what these unfortunates do that so ruin...s their moral nature, for it is much the same as is done in all mariages de convenance. But they are placed beyond the pale of the natural kind- ness of their fellow creatures, and are thus driven to become creatures of prey and the common enemies of the society that outlaws them. And this outlawing is enforced for good ends by good women, hundreds and thousands of whom bear about them an aching sorrow and pity for their less fortunate sisters. They would bestow all their goods, give their bodies to be burned, suffer anything and every- thing, except the one only thing that is of any use, and that is, to face the facts of the world as they are.
