Women are frequently accused ol
ruining their fathers aud husband hy
willful extravagance, with au euiphasn
on the adjective. They probably do
assist nt their downfall, lu repented in
mnoes, not from willfulness, but from
lack of understanding of the value ami
use of money. , The hriis of so nor
mal representative woman being so
malignant, or reckless, or Inconsider
ate aa to gratify her Uste, her love of
adornment, or her sense of luxury,
with any consclousnoa or suspicion of
such a result. Is preposterous, e
poeinlly when she Is supposed to es
teem and love tho man she deliberate
ly undoes. JSiu h s thing is so entirely
foreign to her nature as to lie beyond
hypothesis. She would not lie capable
ot It, if she were totally indifferent to
the man. Nothing but the densest
sullishnes, or the deepest malice would
furnish the motive for such an set,
which Is, as a rule, Incompatible with
woman's uaturo or woman s method.
Al any rate, 1 It not an exception
when a woman ruin a man financially,
or otherwise, Indeed f He is verv ready
to proclaim himself ruined by her; be
seem to think that the charge relieves
him. Ho is an constantly the cause of
her ruin that he 1 auxious to turn the
tables on her. Aud to tie ruined by a
woman sounds romantic, Is calculated
to excite pity nml sympathy, to put him
In the position of a martyr, especially
in the eyes of her own sex. Meu al

monetary sense particularly, but lack
the courage to avow It, Their w eakness
