WISDOM or THE WIDOW.
Views of q Man Who Does Not Agree
With Tony Weller.

Views Oh u Man w ho bocS w. ~-s
With Tony Weller.
The man who marries a girl just out
of school has need of much shrewdness,
tact and fortitude, for the first year OF
'matrimony will produce violent revo-
luton in her mind. AS she learns 10
know her husband-she who has never
seen him except when he had his best
coat on-she will deem him brute ana
will be disappointed and disgusted, for
she will compare him with that impos-
sible ideal of manhood which every
girl has in her mind and Of which he,
of course, falls short. But with ex-
perience will come wisdom. In time
she will understand that her girlhoods 8
ideal if she were to have him in the
flesh. would be an unbearable prig,
and that her husband is about as good
as men 90 and even-if she loves him
little better than the next man.
A widow has all this knowledge OF
men and of the world, which a spinster
lacks. A man talks to a widow freely
as to one who has found him out. She
is expert in the arts of pleasing him.
and if a bright young widow sets her
cap for a man he can escape her only
by flight. A widow has no illusions
and no ideals. She is well trained ana
used to going double, while the spinster
is an unbroken filly and is bound to
kick up a good deal when she first feels
tug at the snaffle.-San Francisco
