Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charities and the Commons, Vol. 18: April 1907-October, 1907; With Index It is true, however, that in some Of the case records there is a fascination not unlike that Of the Thaw trial, which has held the attention and has aroused the conscience, while also it has disillusioned the innocent and probably perverted some whose-minds are susceptible to this form Of suggestion. Sin and guilt and heroic struggles to escape not only from their consequences but from their very power are by no means infrequent. One woman in particular arises in memory to teach again what, heroism means. She is a widow with a little daughter just Old enough, at the time when in her despair the mother asked for help, to begin to question the meaning Of visits which for some years a man had made to her mother. The world has a very ugly name for her relationship to this-man, and, though there were circumstances in palliation, the agonizing mother knew that they would not be sufficient to prevent her disgrace if the facts were to become known, and that in a year or two the child must inevitably come to a shameful knowledge Of the source Of their income. She had been too weak to break the guilty bonds On her own account, but she became strong for the sake Of her child. The one condition Of a new start which she felt to be absolutely essential was that it should not be financially aided by the man who had provided for her, and with whom she must now break definitely and irre vocably.
