When Out For Another Husband
the Poor Widow Is Often as
Willy as She Is Attractive.
BY BYRON WILLIAMS.

W-HERE are several kinds of
widows, such as sorrowing
widows, gay widows, grass
widows, sad widows, widows
who had so much trouble with their
first husbands they are satisfied to go
through what is left of life in single
state, widows who are sitting up nights
trying to trap somebody with a kindly
disposition and a good home, blond
widows and brunette widows, pretty
widows and homely widows, rich wild
ows and poor widows, but each as In
teresting as an unwrapped package.
Some widows go back home to live.
Quite number of widows do this, and
it is very fortunate that they can, but
others are forced to exist by their own
efforts, having no relatives upon whom
they can be dependent. 1 recall the
case of a certain grass widow. Her
husband was director in a bank. AS
he lay awake at night this man often
wondered If the watchers down at the
bank were careful and trustworthy.
Finally he decided to make a personal
investigation. He dressed in rough
clothes, puG a revolver in his pocket
and set forth. Upon arriving at the
bank he pulled the gun, forced his way
past the guards, secured $81, 900 and
never came back!
His widow had no anchor to wind
ward and opened boarding house
Yet, strange to relate, she remained
single, her place paid, and she put
away tidy little sum every Year until
she was able finally to retire and live
comfortably, though humbly. Her hus
band never was heard from, and, SO
far as know. she never expressed
regret that the bank watchers were so
culpably negligent. t"
The frivolous young man who starts
in to win a merry widow has his work
cut out for him. Every point he takes
from her he is entitled to. for the mer-
ry widow knows the game from Napo-
leon solitaire up to Percher0r poker,
and # not watched she is quite apt to
stack the. deck | would advise. there

lonely should go easy on the merry

her, and after she had made every
other girl in town mad enough to
scratch out. her eyes she gave the
Charley boys the laugh and married a
retired manufacturer with a big fire
place and nobody to sit in front of it
on blustasy nights. When he died a
few years later and left her. all his
coin and. the fireplace aforesaid, in
Guiding the house that surrounded it
and several hundred acres of land out
side of that, she became as happy as a
meadow lark and as shy of matrimony
as a frisky colt of a halter, and up to
the present time she has escaped abso-
lutely, though her figure is still good,
her laugh still ripping and her cheek
still ruddy.
Every man doesn't make a heaven in
a cottage, and the widow seems to
have learned this. If her first match
was happy she often is fearful to
break good record; If bad she hasn't
the nerve to try it again
The above does not apply to the wild

and has a row Of husbands planted
as long as a commuters row of sweet
peas. This sort Of widow is not in
teresting except as plague or a
smallpox epidemic. She never angles
for a man, her favorite weapon. being
dragnet.
Then there is that other type that
starts a nice quiet cemetery Of her
own, planting husbands as a suburban
lite plants dahlia bulbs, knowing they
never will grow.
But, taking them far and near, large
Ind petite, college and grass, widows
are quite as interesting as they are
dangerous.
