Widows.


Widows exist in all countries, thus
counterbalancing the matrimonial de-
cadence which might otherwise result
from timid men. Widows are clinging
by temperament and attach themselves
readily to any object that can't help
Itself. It is generally considered un-
lucky to meet widow on a dark piaz-
"a by the light of the moon. In many
countries 10 De k1sseu--Uy a WIuuW
means endless trouble. Widows are
frequently accompanied by children.
whose number is constantly liable to
Increase. They roam at large over
the principal sections, and no man is
safe when: they are near. All the per-
feet men now dead have married Wild
ows, thus forming continuous con-
rast to the miserable specimens who
still live. 1t has been said Beware of
widows" but this is unnecessary, for
no man can really help himself.-Life.
