'IfAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1000. DAILY CAT I ' ?!' SALEM WOMEN'S EXTRAVAGANCE IS OFTEN MEN'S FAULT KaitCUS WEDNESDAY K3&mnm- Aug 2 1 ill H Is. M :;i. (Helen Oldflold, in Tacomn Lodger.) There nro u few attributed of the "etornnt feminine" which nro more strenuously Insisted upon than that df fcmlnliio extravagance. Yet, for all that, It l to ho doubted whether, fn point of fact, the extravaganco of women exceed h that of men, perhaps crcn whether It equals It. Indeed, .It may Justly bo claimed that a worn it n, turnover lavish of expenditure, Is mora or less certain to demand a quid pro quo for her outlay, and rarely attains to tho point of spend ing wealth with tho recklessness which men "plungers' often display. Even Cleopatra, with her famous draft of dissolved pearl, had In view a deflnlto end, the deslro to Impress find astonlHh Mark Antony, even ns many n woman slnco her day has sacrificed mora or less lit order td fix tho attention of tho man whom sho has wlshod to attract. From the beginning tho "excuse of Adam": "Tho woman whom thou gayest to bo with me, sho tomptod we," hns been a favorlto ono with H mankind, "Chcrchoz la fommo" Is tho old French proverb. "Thero Is Jiovcr a bit of mischief but a petti coat Is nt tho bottom of It," says tho old English version of tho same maxim. When a man covets tho earth It usunlly Is In ordor to glvo It to some woman; that Is Indisputable, accord ing to both history and tradition. And when, having, with much pain and toll, secured a small part of the universe, ho presents It to tho lady of tils choice, It huppons, porchnnco, that sho treats tho gift lightly, plays with It, breaks, perhaps ovon throws It away. Thon straightway, ho Is In dignant, and holds hor stonily ro BnonBlblo for hor carelossnosH, which may bo duo to Iguoranco; mid for XoU ontlroly that ho himself Is to ulnnio In that ho has made no effort to.

No sacrifice Is too great Tor his sako; ho will do anything, boar nnythmg, mo long ns Hho bolloves In his dovo lion to horsolf.

Love of the gcnnlno, permanent variety docs not go out of the window when poverty enters the door. On tho contrary, it stands Its ground bravoly and does battlo with tho wolf In behalf of Its beloved. Hut, what can a man expect when, Instead of fronting his wife llko a reasqnablo hu man being, making her his confident and co-worker, ho keeps her In the dark as to his financial status, allow ing her to run bills blindly, and then blames her whon, through Ignorance rnthor than mnllco aforethought, sho Involves him In debts which ho cannot pay? It Is to be feared thnt many men marry upon falso pretenses in that tho women whom thoy marry are mora or loss uninformed as to the prcclBO amount of their Incomes, present and to como. And when n man who has conducted his court ship upon a basis of $5000 a year marries upon an nctunl salary of f 1000 thoro Is certain to bo unpleas antness, not to say trouble, In camp. It Is no dlsgraco, Indeed, It Is not al ways an inconveulenco not to bo ablo to afford all tho luxuries of life; the shame consists In pretending to thnt which ono docs not possess; In buy ing whnt ono cannot pay for honest ly. Nothing can bo more foolish than for a young couplo to start married life with a grand splurge, spending tho few hundreds or so In tho bank In unnecessary extravagances which will do them no practical service whon tho monoy Is gone. Even whoro thoro Is a solid reservo fund nvnllablo It Is 111 advised to draw upon It heavily, or ovon to abstain from adding to It, If possible, at the outset of matrimony. When once tho Initial oxponscs of tho wedding nnd houso furnishing are over, tho cost of living ought to bo, and usunl ly Is, less for a time than It will bo thereafter. Everything Is now, and with ordinary euro thoro should bo no outlay In roplnclug or repairing for some Unto.

A wise old man used to tell his children that ho always had found It much oiiBlur to do with out n thing which ho had monoy enough to buy nt any tltno thnn to bo deprived of it for lack of means to procure It. It Is easy to pass from comfort to luxury, hut when a luxury must ho relinquished, tho forco of contrast malceH tho comfort of yes terday tho discomfort of today. spared all the troubles nnd mlsfor- tunos of those who cannot pay their way. Dottor, a hundred times over, to begin In a five roomed flat and end with a mansion in town and a placo In tho country, than to reverse this order of things. In spite of the fact that when tho bride has money it Is apt to bo' a sourco of disagreement, it Is an ex cellent thing for a wlfo to have an assured Income of her own. It ought also to be an lnflnlto relief to a man to know that his wlfo has money which Is beyond the reach of his own success or failure. And, that this may be so, a woman's property should bo settled upon Iter and her children "as tight as the law can tlo It." Otherwise sho may bo unablo to refrain from surrender ing It, should occasion over rise. Whatever a man's income, be it largo or small, his wlfo has a moral right to a certain portion of it, upon which sho can depend, and this Bhould bo given to regularly, without hor being compelled to ask for It. It Is a humiliating position for any ono to bo left without a dollar to pay an expressman, nay, worse, not to have tho small amount duo on a letter delivered at tho door! Tho nvorago man dislikes exceedingly to bo continually asked for small amounts of money, but ho rarely appreciates how galling It Is to his wlfo's prldo, hor self-respect, to bo obliged to make such reaticsts. Let overy man bo honest enough, and loving enough to glvo his wlfo a fair Idea of his financial position, and trust hor to conduct herself accord ingly, nor leavo hor In ignorance when serious troublo Is threatening to Ingulf her as well as hint. Moreover, It must bo ronicmbored that economy and extravaganco are relallvo terms; what Is proper nnd becoming In ono woman may be nothing Bhort of criminal In another. When a niultl-mllllonnlro's wlfo spends hundreds of thousands of dol lars upon Jowols sho meroly Is mak ing a safe Investment; whon a clerk's wlfo runs Into debt for a brooch or bracelet sho perhaps Is taking a step upon the road fo ruin. Women do not know alwnys what thoy stand upon, and It Is tho duty or n wise husband to enlighten his wlfo for her sako and his own.
