Woman's Dependence on Man.

However persistently the epiccne the
orists Of modern times may deny it, it
is nevertheless n truth plainly visible in
the whole past history of the sexes, that
the natural condition of n woman is to
find her master in man. Look i'll the
face of any woman who is in no direct
way dependent Oh mainland, rs GER
tainly rs you see the sun in IL clOudless
sky, you seea woman who is not happy.
The want of IL master is their great UNI
known want; the possession of II master
is-uncOnsciously to themsclVes-the
only possible completion OF their lives.
In ninety-nine cases out Of IL hundred,
this one primitive instinct is ut the bot
tom of the otherwise inexplicabie sac
rifice, when we sec II woman, of her own
free will, throw herself away on man
who is unworthy OF Wiihie Collins.
