WIDOWS IN CONTRAST.

To don the cap of widowhaod in
America is also an assurance that the
individual has taken on new fascina-
tions. Perhaps not in any tangible
form, but the very name of a widow
will stir any number of people with a
subtle sense of expectancy. 1t is also
true that the fact of being a widow
seems to surround the woman with in
Vulnerable admirers. and unless she is
of a most stalwart disposition, she can
not fail to again fall victim to the
snares of matrimony.
Some sage has said: THAT this is be-
cause widows are sweeter than other
women, as love has passed over them. 4"
However this may be, they possess in
America and the most civilized nations
all the combined advantages of every
other class Of women and almost every
age.
A married woman boasts the possess
sion of her home, her dignity, and her
pocketbCok. A widow possesses them
all. A single woman talks of her indie
pendence and her latch key The widow
has them also. A debutante's mind is
full of the weighing of the qualities of
her admirers. But the widows task is
even more arduous. On all the sphere,
surely no woman has more scope to be
charming than the widow of civilized
nation.
But in uncivilized countries the
widows lot is quite different. The
death of her husband not only strips
her of every fascination and charm
that she formerly possessed. but loads
her with chains of servitude and curses
from his relatives.
An observant American widow that
has recently returned from India, was
much impressed with their melancholy
state in that country There, as soon
as a. woman is married. she but lives
through her husbands favor God only
hears her prayers when they are made
for his benefit. The greatest misfor-

but she is not allowed to change them.
And to this pool of water she has to
add her tears suntil the evening of the
third day. The mortality of these little
widows at this time is very large. To
those that survive, the BARRIERS wife
who is a most Important parsonage in
India, comes when the time is up. and
dresses them in the garb of a waiting
maid. Then they enter the home of an
other woman. usually some connection
of their husband, and act as her SER
want for the rest of their lives.
No wonder the gay American was
shocked at this pathetic contrast to the
lives of the widows in her own coun-
try. A. LOUNSBERRY.
