W. i,vo, i, srvauv"s.y "ooortel ;h"t O.:
travagance is the great eyil of the age. tius-
bands particularly are load of cXpatiatiug on
this subject before their wives, or before ie-
male visitors, whom they talk to, in order to
talk at their spouses. Bat, in Justice to the
ladies, it should be said that men are quite
as extravagant as women. If the latter have
weakness for laces, silks and fine furniture,
the former are just as fond Of cigars, cham
pagne and horses. AIany husband who
grumbIes at what he thinks the eXtravagant
sums paid by his wife, for gloves, shoes and
handkerchieis, spends twice as mach annual
ly on oysters, or at ten-pins. The things the
wife lamcies are, moreover the more refined
OF the two; and on the whole, are perhaps,
quite as usefr! as the others. Whatever the
"rest of mankind" may say, the Ledger will
be honest in this matter Fair play has not
been gicen to the sex. The men, who do
most of the editing, writing, and paying,
have raised the cry of extravaganza against
the ladies, until popular idea has arisen that
females are constilutional!y greater spend
thrGts than the males. 1t is the old story o.!
the lion painting his own virtues.
Having thus exonerated the ladies from
charge we think unjust, they will, we trust,
