THE POPULAR WIDOW.

Sho is tho Brightest Star OH tho Social
Horizon.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
the widow is the most popular woman
who fits across the mGlstrom OF social
life. But the law OF compensation sets
tho price on all tho favors OF fate, and
tho widow, however gloomy or shining
her environments, is no exception TO
tho rule. Are YOU loved and loving
wife, with tho strong right arm OF the
best OF men to shield and protect you
from the world and its calumny? Then
know that the removal OF that arm
means your own transformation in the
eyes OF the world to = person answering
TO an entirely different description.
The world steps up higher in order to
obtain n better point oil Wow, and il
ferrets out motive for action where no
motive exists, and it regards you with
suspicion where there is no cause. The
world has an evil eye. and tho lens
through which it observes dlstorts the
objects passing before it. Tho world
has n vivid imagination also and pre-
disposition to mistake Its Imagination
for its memory. 1t is one OF the traits
for which popularity componsates, or
visa versa, that tho world keeps IN eve
on widows and that their every action
is iraucht with interest. In tho envir.
onment OF widowhood woman must
needs pay the price.
