about the temptations which confront us men. What does a woman
know about them?

FRAU LUND. The only thing we women don't know about is the manner
in which these temptations terminate.

BEERMANN. Our movement intends to do away with these very
deceptions. We want to protect the traditions of the home which
women treasure.

FRAU LUND. No. We, women also treasure modesty. We dislike to see
men pretend to have better morals than they actually have.

BEERMANN. Seriously, Frau Lund. Public immorality must hurt you
more.

FRAU LUND. You arc mistaken. It requires a genuine manly feeling
to sympathize with misery.

DR. WASNER. Misery and vice are different problems.

FRAU LUND. They're not. And that is why we will never agree.

FRAU BEERMANN. All the more reason why my husband should not set
himself up as an example. He knows nothing of worry or care.

BEERMANN. We can never subscribe to Frau Lund's principles.

FRAU LUND. No principles, please!
