In every flock there is usually to be

not be judged by the follies of this

The country's call struck deep into
the hearts of young men in all walks

And mere Eunctilio of chance
one can be led into the belief that
there may be timid bachelors, even
against ones better Judgment, but the
Imagination has to be stretched to its
utmost limit to give the widower the
benefit of a doubt as to his being
timid or bashful in the presence of
women.
The "resourcefulness and push" of
comely widows is time-honOred wit
ticism which Is never allowed to grow
stale because of constantly occurring
| examples of her prOwess in ensnaring
| male hearts. Therefore, one naturally
expects n widower should be quite as
proficient in the delicate art of at
tracing hearts.
There never was greater error.
The previous married life of the man
| and the woman has everything to do
| with establishing confidence in them
selves or routing It utterly. The hus-
band who loves fondly, imbues his
wife with the belief that she is the
most charming, the most fascinating
y
| thanking her most humbly for giving
herself to such a plain. unattractive
man as himself. Hearing this con-
stantly, she believes it and fancies she
could have won any man for whom she
might have set her cap. Once a
widow. she Is plumed with the assur-
| ance that no man will be able to with
stand her Establishments. And it usu-
ally happens "as person thinketh, so
is he"
But let it be understood that the
same sauce Of appreciation has not
been fed to the husband. He is given
| to understand In n tacit way that he is
sadly lacking in all the attributes that
women admire in men. He is led to
believe that he Is awkward Of man
ner; that his conversation is uninter-
| esting to the opposite sex; that she is
the only woman in the world who
could or would have loved him. She
gives him to understand his popularity
is entirely due to her and her social
activities; that he would be nothing
without her, absolutely nothing.
Despite the loneliness of his heart
and home, not one widower out of a
hundred would enter the ranks of mat
rimony again did he not meet with the
one woman who was able to topple
over his firmly grounded ideas and
cause him to realize that he still had
attractions and still had the power to
awaken affection in another heart
that would accord him his full need
of appreciation and love.

She set the picture gently in its

mystery that only woman's eyes can
hold.
The trio told to go around the Park
had their hands full. Here were
houses Of wealth whose .caretakers
were more than glad to get rid of the
heavy piles Of magazines stacked In
attic and cellar. The little wagons
were filled and two trips were made
to Miss Lorena's big side porch where
the contents were emptied in heter-
ogenous mass that delighted her
heart. "Why, Riddles, 1t looks as II
