where a man's home is transformed suddenly into what has been bitterly
but justly termed a "hell on earth," are more than half the time
traceable to the carelessness of the husband in not throwing around his
wife those barriers which shall ever keep her from temptation. The wife
of pure instincts will generally object to the admission of another man
to her home as a member of it. How often her womanly and honorable
objection is overruled by the husband as the mark of an inhospitable
nature. Live alone. Let no one see your meannesses, for the third party
will remember and recite those meannesses where you would either never
have seen them, or have forgotten them altogether.
