selves If wife has crossed swords with O
friend, and the husband is in any way en-
durable, let her look out for retaliation.
The woman she has offended will take her
revenge by flirting more or less openly with
the husband, all the while loading the
enemy with hattery If she is afraid of her,
or snubbing her without much disguise if
sho feels herself the stronger. The wife
cannon help herself, unless things go too far
for public patience. A jealous woman
without proof is the butt of her society,
and brings the whole %cr!d of women like q
nest of wasps about her ears If she is
wise, she will ignore what she cannot laugh
at; if sensitive, she will fret: if vndictive,
she will repay. Nino times out of ten, she
does the last and, may be, with interest
and so goes on the duel though all the
time the fighters appear to be most intimate
friends. and on the best possible terms to-
gether. But the range Of these feminine
amenities is not confined to women; it in
cludes men as well; and women continually
take advantage OF their position to insult
the stronger sex by saying to them things
which can be neither answered nor resented.
A woman can insinuate that you have just
cheated at cards, with the ouietest face and
gentlest voice Imaginable; she can give you
The lie direct as coolly as if she was correct
ing mis-print; and you cannot defend
yourself TO brawl with her would be un-
pardonable. to contradict her is useless, and
the sense of society does not allow you to
show her any active displeasure. In this
instance the weaker creature is the stronger,
and the most defenceless is the safest. You
have only the rather questionable consola-
tion of knowing that you are not singular
in your discontinue, and that when she
has made an end of you she will probably
have turn with your betters, and make
them, too, dance te her piping, whether
they like the tune or not. AT all events, if
she humilietes you she humiliates her sis
ters still more; and with the knowledge
that, hardly handled as you have been,
others are yet more severely dealt with you
must learn to be content; and to- practice n
grim kind of patience as we'll as nature will
permit
