effectively.

agreed the bachelor.
"Yes," returned the widow promptly,
"and you can never tell what either
one Of them is going to leave by your
fireside."
But you can be almost certain it
isn't what you expected" declared the
bachelor cheerfully. "The man who is
longing for real wife generally gets
a wax doll or a mechanical toy" he
added sadly.
"And the woman who wants real
husband" retorted the widow, nearly

"And neither one Of them is a bit

on the top step of the ladder and lean

never the most deserving person, the
good little boy or good little girl, who
fares best, but the one who has the
most luck"
"And the most money" added the
bachelor, crossing his arms on the
ladder and looking up at the widow,
"and who can't half appreciate what
