Are Men Meaner Than Women?

In daily money matters, certainly not. Do
not the majority of men give substantial tips"
without thought, while for a woman to part
with even penny by way of gratuity seems to
be depriving her of her hearts blood; a mem
ber of the fair sex, says a writer in Answers
deems charming smile and "Thank you" quite
sufficient recompense for any service.
But this does not show that women are really
meaner than men; a man, in the majority of
cases, earns a substantial sum weekly out of
which he bestows but modest portion upon
his wife, Thus, woman usually having small
capital at her disposal, is forced to consider every
shilling she may possess and is unable to scatter
gratuities abroad like her seemingly more lavish
lord.
In word, woman is a slave to petty econ
omy. II is true that many women now are self
supporting, but they are quite as close-hsted in
small things their sistere who are dependent
upon the bounty of husband OF father.
But when a woman loves who more prodigal
Of herself and her fortune than she? She would
bestow every penny she possesses, every grace
and gift of mind or body, upon the man she
loves and never give so much as a thought to it.
