GWWHY have women o little money sense?” & man askcd wme disgustedly the other day. “Look at Mrs. A. Poor old A. toiled like a dray horse for 40 years to pile up a fortune that would keep his family safe and com.ortable after he was gone, and now Mrs. A. is throwing all of his hard-earned dollars away as fast as she can. “And she is following the usual precedent 0f widows. They wl seem bent on getting rid of their husbands’ money. There is no scheme so wild that they can't be Inveigled Into it. There is no speculation £o risky that they won't undertake §t. They are the easy marks for every scoundrel with a get-rich-quick scheme and the predestined victims of shyster luwyers and oily swindlers. “It-doesn’t seem possible that a woman of ordinary intelligence could live to be middle-aged, and rear a family, and run a house, without finding out something about how to handle monev, but she does. I could name you a dozen widows In actual want, whose husbands left them comfortably well off, but who, through mismanage , lost every cent of their inheritance within 10 vears. “You would think that a wc knowing that the bread-winner is gone, and that there will be no more money coming in, would hang on to every cent with a death grip, but she doesn’t.

That is why they 5o often lose the money they inherit. And it is not surprising that they do. The wonder would be 1f they kept It, for they are rank amateurs sitting in at a crooked game In which only the cleverest and most experienced men win out It isn’t the women’'s fault that they do not know how to manage money. The blame rests on their menkind. - “A father doesn't talk to his little girl, as he does to his little boy about financial matters. He doesn’t impress on her the importance of living within her income, nor the difference between interest and principal. He doean't teach her about Investments and explain to her the difference between a gilt-edged mortgage and wild-cat common Nor does the husband make any attempt to train hig wife into being a good business woman. As a general thing, he gives her liberal an allowance as he can afford, and lets it go at that.
