Frem tlie Philadelphia Ledger Thore Is a sorleus aspect In which U10 sub ject el weman'H grlovances Is olten pressed upon notice, When a mini falls or fails, by misfortune, lelly or crime, It is olten ene mlKlit almost say usually the case that his wife and family are the porseus w he have least suspected the impending danger, and are, of course, shocked beyond measure. Here Is whero woman is most wronged. If she had been muted aud treated as a partner, the crime into which the husband falls would have been avorled. The felly or extrava extrava gance which leads te crlme would net be in dulged In, If woman's ipiick Instinct of dan dan ger and counsel of prudence wero ofteuor consulted and heeded. One or the greatest wreugs uuder which woman sui tors Is the mlsonible excuse ler a regue. a de faulter, or a feel, that his wire Is te blame. She has, lu her weak conlldence, trusted her husband, and lie, lu his mistaken view of Ill-Judging allectien, lias concealed the truth from her, or, what Is worse, he has counted her among theso in whom he daro.uet cou ceu cou tlde. He has carried the guilty cowardice of concealment into his own house and home. It is an axiom in business copartnersliips that 110 lnomber should enter Inte transactions which he conceals from the firm. It should be a rule of morals and el nlloctleu Hint no man's partner in tlie eldor and scared family compact should be lu iguorenco of what con cerns her even mero thau him. That is no partnership iu which all the membera have net a voice ; nud It Is simply fraud, In matrimony no leas than iu business, when ene of the "tirm" deceives or disregards the ether.
