Had Such Pretty Ways With Her.

“She had such pretty ways with her.” That was the reason an honest, hardworking man gave for marrying a girl of whom he knew little else, but who was really a professional bigamist, traveling about the country and marrying husband alter husband as a matter of speculation. It is the “ pretty ways ” cf woman which has ruined many a man of every age, including the greatest of Generals, statesmen and philosophers. If the “pnetty wavs” come from the heart it is all right. If they are the result of cold, selfish, calculating art, woe is to him who falls their victim. Nothing is truer than that women are both better and worse than men. A man could hardly be so bad as a woman is when she puts on the prettiest ways of her sex for mischief.
