Funerals are attended; flowers are
sent; messages of sympathy, but the

comfort to those who have lost their

Mr. Richards idea is to have the

create as far as possible public
opinion in favor of being more care
full themselves about their work. Laws
alone cannot protect them. If ma

You have heard that widowed story.
That tradition horned and hoary,
