partner of her life she signifies her
loss and grief by wearing appropriate
garb.
But in what a different manner to-
day the widow of the present, that is
the one who by the sanction of the
courts, has resigned her job as wife,
makes known to all the world her re-
neWed state of single blessedness. For
the grass widow of today has just
adopted the latest of 'fads, the "dl-
