All right, if viewed from that standpoint, of course, but look at the other side of the picture and it's not so pretty Mrs. McFarland Richardson seems lost to all womanly feeling, and publishes an ex parte statement about domestic affairs that have undergone a critical examination before the courts, with the final verdict of the court and public in favor of the husband. She has also lost that motherly love for her offspring which characterizes pure womankind. She would not notice by word or look in the court room her son Percy, because he is under the care of the unfortunate father. When she brushed passed in rustling silks, little Percy plaintively called out "mother," but there was no word or token in answer to that cry from the stony hearted prostitute, whose actions have destroyed the peace of her own family and made fatherless two innocent children.
Perhaps Richardson was not alone to blame. This woman may have first seduced him.—[Springfield Transcript.]
