The Ladies Temperance Union and a Tempting Dinner Scene
A reader recounts inconsistency in a temperance circle tale about a wife who tempts her intoxicated husband at dessert. The piece argues domestic influence shapes fortune and happiness, warning against marrying for money and praising prudent, well managed homes. It cites Mrs D and Rev George Baldwin and reflects on marriage, wealth, and character in a moral tone.
