Excerpt from Innocence and Ignorance
Innocence and Ignorance - the combination may be tragic! Some months ago there came to my attention a striking illustration of how pitiable may be the consequences of this unfortunate union. A young woman of eighteen or so, educated in a convent, was persuaded by her mother to marry a certain man who was considered in society to be in every way a desirable "catch." What was her horror to find what marriage really meant - the essence of the contract she had made as an act of filial piety!
After months of bitter degradation with a diseased brute, she left the man and is now supporting herself by hard work.
