Have you ever watched the exceed
ingly delicate and yet firm pressure of
the hand Of skillful tuner? He will
make the string produce a perfectly
true note. vibrating in absolute accord
with his own never changing tuning
fork. The practiced hand is at one
with the accurate ear, and the pressure

string, but he patiently strikes the
note again and again till the tone ID

THE DoWAGERs.

Titled Widows Go to the Rear In the
Social Procession.
Little sympathy is bestowed on ii
tied widows after the first few days OF
their bereavement. OF course when
an earl dies his widow remains n
countess. but with the unwelcome adj
dition 'dowager." which often is mis-
leading as far as her age is concerned

good breeding. looked on dowag ger
duchesses as fair targets for sarcasm
So did Du Maurier. though the only
Offense OF the poor women was that
they had lost their husbands 1t is q
double blow to woman of title when
her husband dies. for If grief leaves
her time for reflection she realizes
that. no matter how young she may
be. she is relegated to the rear in the
social procession. The new duchess or
marchioness or countess steps into the
limelight. and the dowager Is lucky to
find place in the last row of the
chorus. for the very term implies old
womanhood. and in most cases she
only wastes time IT she combats the
impression.
Ordinary widows may have better
chances for matrimony than debu-
tantes. though that's doubtful. Dow
ayers seldom contract new marriages.
for few men have courage to lead
them to the altar. So in all the affairs
of society they make the best of the
custom that dictates they shall follow
meekly In the wakes of their fattered
