There are people who read 80 many
reports OF divorce cases that they grow
doubtful that there Is any true mar
rage. And there are also people who
think that If widows could handle ra-
zors as well as they can cali for the
''ncXt gent" they would make good bar
bers. Yc who have read too many re-
ports OF divorce cases and ye who have
been too closely and cynically obaervant
Of widows, come listen to the story Of q
marriage and widow situated in At
lanta, Ga.
The story Of the marriage Is not long.
II was so happy that there is no par
tioulnr story to II. II was Just lovely,
and that Is about all. Such marriages
do not have long tales connected with

This marriage ended in death, and
the death OF the husband, And oh,
what woo then fell upon and over
whelmed the widow. II is said that she
was 30 completely crushed by her mis-
fortune that she wasn't particular how
she looked in mourning. She refused
TO be comforted, and though she could
not back TO It's mansion call the fleet
Ing breath" OF her loved one she de-
termined to deprive the cruel grave Of
Its prey.
SO she had the body OF her husband
nicely embalmed and placed in her
parlor That sacred SPOT she often
sought, and by the aid OF fervent
imagination and loyal love felt her
self happier than she would have felt
If the clay OF her departed had been
mingled with the clay Of Georgia. OF
course the neighbors talked. but what
OF that2 She was only concerned with
remembering her dear husband and
trying to deprive death OF complete
victory.
Think OF this, We who believe that
another wedding means only another
divorce and that another widow means
another husband. u not that a sue
ceasful marriage which has no annals
and is ended only by death? And ls
not that loyal love which causes a
widow not to he solictOus about the
appearance Of her mourning and which
leads her to make n household god of
