And if he leaves her she must ask herself _how she is in fault_. She must _never blame him_. If she cannot discover that she is in fault at all, she is then in the position of the first magnet  and it is her misfortune; but misfortune can be turned into success by intelligence, and, with skill, a magnet can be recharged. AND IF HE LEAVES HER SHE MUST ASK HERSELF HOW SHE IS IN FAULT SHE MUST NEVER BLAME HIM IF SHE CANNOT DISCOVER THAT SHE IS IN FAULT AT ALL SHE IS THEN IN THE POSITION OF THE FIRST MAGNET AND IT IS HER MISFORTUNE BUT MISFORTUNE CAN BE TURNED INTO SUCCESS BY INTELLIGENCE AND WITH SKILL A MAGNET CAN BE RECHARGED
 it would be drawn to that. It--the needle--would only be obeying natural laws and therefore would not be responsible. Which, then, could you blame--the original magnet or the needle? Obviously the magnet is responsible. You may reply. But the magnet did not wish to lessen in attraction; that and the arrival of the stronger magnet were pure misfortunes and accidents of fate. Granted--but this only brings in a third influence--it does not _throw the blame upon the needle_. So I want you to understand, Caroline, that if a man ceases to love you it is your own fault--or misfortune--never his fault; just as, if you cease to love the man, it is his fault or misfortune, not yours. These are truths which ninety-nine women out of a hundred do not care to face. But the wise hundredth, realizing that she is the magnet, tries her uttermost to keep her magnetic power strong enough to withstand all misfortune or the attacks of other magnets--that is, if she wishes to keep the man who is the needle. ET WERE PLACED NEAR THE NEEDLE IT WOULD BE DRAWN TO THAT IT THE NEEDLE WOULD ONLY BE OBEYING NATURAL LAWS AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE WHICH THEN COULD YOU BLAME THE ORIGINAL MAGNET OR THE NEEDLE OBVIOUSLY THE MAGNET IS RESPONSIBLE YOU MAY REPLY BUT THE MAGNET DID NOT WISH TO LESSEN IN ATTRACTION THAT AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE STRONGER MAGNATE WERE PURE MISFORTUNES AND ACCIDENTS OF FATE GRANTED BUT THIS ONLY BRINGS IN A THIRD INFLUENCE IT DOES NOT THROW THE BLAME UPON THE NEEDLE SO I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND CAROLINE THAT IF A MAN CEASES TO LOVE YOU IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT OR A MISFORTUNE NEVER HIS FAULT JUST AS IF YOU CEASE TO LOVE THE MAN IT IS HIS FAULT OR MISFORTUNE NOT YOURS THESE ARE TRUTHS WHICH NINETY NINE WOMEN OUT OF A HUNDRED DO NOT CARE TO FACE BUT THE WISE HUNDREDS REALIZING THAT SHE IS THE MAGNET TRIES HER UTTERMOST TO KEEP HER MAGNETIC POWER STRONG ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND ALL MISFORTUNE OR THE ATTACKS OF OTHER MAGNETS THAT IS IF SHE WISHES TO KEEP THE MAN WHO IS THE NEEDLE
