I have had one experience of this sort myself that shows how even the noblest man may suddenly suffer an infatuation capable of sweeping him on to disaster. It was at the time of my husband's death--during days when he lay half conscious in the hospital following his automobile accident. A distinguished clergyman, Dr. B----, who had known Julian slightly, visited him here and in this way made my acquaintance. And he fell violently in love with me. For months during my early widowhood he saw me almost every day and wrote me impassioned letters, declaring that I was the only woman in the world for him, I was his true mate, he could not live without me, he was ready to give up everything for me, to go away with me to some distant city--any city--and begin life all over again. This clergyman was a man of fifty, a brilliant preacher, widely honored and loved, who had never in his life, he assured me, committed any deliberately sinful act such as this would be, for he was married to a fine woman who had been his faithful companion for many years and had borne him two children--two boys. All this he was ready to renounce for me--reputation, honor, duty. He said it was fate. His desire for me was too strong to be resisted. The sin, the disgrace, the pain that he would cause--none of these could keep back this man of God from his evil purpose. ARE WOMEN DISLOYAL TO OTHER WOMEN? In many pages of my diary (written sincerely at the time) I present the conventional view of sex offences, the comforting view to women. _But--_ When I search deep into my soul with an honest desire to find the truth, I am not sure that women are as blameless in the sex struggle with men as I would like to believe. Very often they are less pursued than pursuing. Every man of the world can recall the cases where women have played the role of temptress, using their charms against unwilling victims, notably husbands of other women. _I am afraid the rule is that women are disloyal to other women where there is any serious emotional conflict._ The editor of a popular magazine told me once about a prize contest that they had for the best essay on a woman's sex solidarity union--they called it the W.S.S.U. The idea was that if women would stand together against men they could get anything in the world they wanted--equal rights and privileges, equal wages, fair treatment in every department of life; and do away with evils of ignorance and poverty, child labor evils, prostitution evils. We could have an ideal world if women, using their sex power, would only stand together against men. Hundreds of letters were received from women, who thought this a wonderful idea; but they all agreed that it was impossible to carry it out, because women would never be loyal to one another.
