(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

may bo duo to Iguoranco; mid for
XoU ontlroly that ho himself Is to

to. Impress hor with a sonso of Its
value.
'A woman, almost any womnn, will
tnko Inllnlto pulus, no end of trouble,
to jileaso tho man whom sho loves.
No sacrifice Is too great Tor his sako;
ho will do anything, boar nnythmg,

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 nowly married
collide, unless they nro people of
wealth, nro not expected to ontortaln
upon nn exponslvo or lavish scalo.
Lator on things may bo different,

Thoro .Is an ancient and threadbare
conundrum which do II mm matrimony

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.
