observing woman, l noticed middle
aged lady and girl clerk standing
beside an enormous basket OF assert

DO Women Ruin Men,

Women are frequently accused of

willful extravaganza, with an empha-
do assist mt their downfall. in repeated
instances. not from willfulness. but
from lack OF understanding OF the value
and uses OF money. The idea OF any
normal representative woman being SO
malignant. or reckless. or inconsider-
ate as 10 crafty her taste, her love OF
adornment. or her sense of luxury.
with any consciousness or suspicion OF
such result. is preposterous, especi-
ally when she is supposed 10 esteem
and love the man she deliberately un-
does. Such thing il so entirely for

hypothesis. She would not be capable
OF IL, IL she were totally indifferent 10
the man. Nothing but the densest
selfshness or the deepest malice would
furnish the motive for such an act
which is, rs IA rule. incompatible with
woman's nature or woman's methods
At any rate. Is IL notan exception when

woman sounds romantic. Is calculated
TO excite pity and sympathy, TO put
him in the position OF n martyr, especi-
ally in the eyes of his own sex. Men
almost always ruin themselves. in a
monetary sense particularly, but lack
the courage TO avow It, Their weak
ness destroys them. and they dislike 10
acknowledge Weakness they prefer Ia
give IL the name of some picturesque
wickadness.
