BISHOP AND GIRL MOTHERS.
THE DEVIL, THE FIDE, A*ND THE TOW. Pleas on behalf of the unmarried mother were'put: forward at .the..lnfants' Welfare Conference, by among others the Bishop of Kensington (the Bight Rev. J. Primatt Maud), who said she and her child needed..the care of the. State quite as much as the married woman and her child. •
“Call illegitimacy a mistake if you like,” he_sahL “It is a tragic mistake. The tragedy isthat any.child should possibly be born into the world unwanted by its mother, disowned and deserted by its father, or that the society into which it is born should not grant it immediateand hospitable welcome.” ’ -
Dr; Leeson,of ‘ Twickenham, on the other.hand, said: “You are all here good people, you all hove large heart®, but I question whether you have good brains. If I were to put up for parliament I would have three planks in my platform —Free Beer, free Love, and no Taxation—and I would romp in at the top of the poll. (Loud laughter). , But they arc all wrong; man is tire, .but a woman is tow, and the devil sets them alight.”
