Tor she was wise woman and ordered
the affairs of her husbands home

eastern housewife; great as to her
womanly virtues, and the kindly deeds
which she was constantly performing
for her neighbors and friends; great
as to her piety; but, above all. great
in the burden of sorrow which rested
upon her heart-a sorrow which she
hid from her husband and the world.
sorrow which when Il strikes deem
into a woman's heart is greater than
any sorrow which a woman may know
the sorrow of a childless home.
When as a bride she had come to

that children would come TO bless and

and the browning honor OF wIfehood
