She reels the personality of the scamp, for he possesses person­ ality. Like the moth fluttering round the candle, which gets scorched at last, the woman who is attracted hy a bud man usually ends hy being his. She ir.uy even be aware of his bad ness, and It does not repel her. In the heart of a good woman there Is u I ways the- desire to help. She Imnglnes that her power will be so great that she will be able to reform him. Women seem to glory in self-sacri­ fice, and they revel in maklnt martyrs of themselves. The most cruelly treat­ ed wife wll! rarely bear a word against her mate. She herself will tell you of hla cruelty, but beware of how yon sympathize. It Is not for you to con­ demn.
