wmows KNOW ndw T0 HANDLE MEN

The slightest investigation of the legends about widows shows hOW litizle foundation they have to rest upon. Take the one. for instance. flllllil ‘XidfWlS being sirens who can lure any marl into matrimony. If they do ' s mt because of some conjure they carry in their compacts. It is eXpFYlr-{ltm It is technique It is because, having had a husband, they know how to handle the creatures.

The man who marries a widow knows that she has learned how to eoek, experimenting on the deceased, and that he will not have his die- esilon ruined and his stomach upset by his brides housekeeping. He knows that the widow has out her teeth on her first wedding cake and that she won't expect too much of marriage or a mere husband. In e vi-ord, that marrying a widow is like getting a trained stenographer in- stead of one you have to break in.

And consider how absurd is the belief that every widow's Prlyer i! "Lord. send me e husband." when there is no woman, no matter how old and unattractive she ill. who doesn't have downs of proposals from im- pocunious man who would like to hang up their hats in her hall and stretch their feet under her table. if so be her first husband left her a comfortable home and a nice little wad of insurance money.

IISEFUL CITIZENS IN TIME OF‘ WAR Nor are all widows poor, or lonesome. or bored. or forlorn in these [

days. If they need money, those who have backbones and brains roll up their sleeves and go to work and support themselves and their children. if they have any. If they do not need to work. they travel and study and run cliiiritics. Thcv are not only among the most useful citizens ‘We lizire. but are among the most entertaining and interesting people we moot.

'I“n:i‘ there are lazy women who make a graft of widowhood rather gum wrork: that there are vain old widows who buy themselves boy hus- andr; that there are credulous widows who let glib talkers sell them Blua Sky. no one will deny. But. for the most part. widows are among the shit of tile earth and I-Ieiivoil knows what we would do without them.‘
