On the first wife falls the burden
not only Of the struggle to help her
husband get on his feet financially,
but the fight OF teaching him that
even a wife has some rights husband
has TO respect. Therefore. practically
every second wife has more money TO
spend. and is better treated than the
first was. and for this also No. has
to thank No. I.
AS to which wife q man loves best,
that depends on tho individual case.
but nothing would do more to cast a
romantic halo over his first wife than
for his second wife TO be forever weep
ing tears OF jealousy over the departed
lady.
Let the second wife comfort herself
with this fact-that It does not mat
ter whom a husband loved in the
past. It's the woman he loves at pres
ent that counts. It's better TO be the
last love than the first.

bachelor and wdower is that the
bachelor wipes Off his slate before he
is married. and his wife has no means
of knowing who preceded her in his
affections, whereas the wife of the
widower has got n line on him. She
knows the name Of the womafM he
loved. and therefore has a tangible
subject on whom TO center her
jealousy.
This being the case, 1t Is, OF course,
objectionable stupidity in a man 10
be continually singing his first wifes
praises to his second wife. She would
rather be fiayed with scorpions than
have him tell her how blessed he has
been in getting two such good wives
or that she makes as good pies as
his first wife used TO make, or even
that the reason that he fell in love
with her was because she reminded
him so much of his sainted Maria.
He thinks, poor boob. that he is
showing her what faithful soul he
has, and paying her a compliment,
and III never occurs to him that she
has to\sit on her hands to keep from
throwing the crockery at him. and
chew her tongue half off TO prevent
her from screaming at him that there
isn't a woman alive, or dead, from
Lucrezia Borgia down, that she
wouldn't rather be like than his first
wife.
Yet the women who so bitterly hate
these poor, dead women should in all
justice entertain kindly feelings to-
wards them, for they owe them a
never ending debt of gratitude. They
were the matrimonial pioneers who
went before, and blazed an easy road
for the second wives feet. Widowers
are proverbially the preferred risk In
wedlock. They have been enlightened
disciplined, broadened, humbled
chastened. house broken, by their firs
wives. and the second wife profits by
