- deadly than the male. The lover, for instance, to him
Woman, as typified by his Beloved. is all that is lovely. fair and
good. She may be devastatingly dangerous in her beauty, her
charm, but not deadly. For, her love, her tenderness, her devo-
ton, her trust, all these are the best that Life has to offer-they
are Life, itself.
And in the evening of his life, ask the gentle white-halred
man IL he has found that woman Is more deadly, more dangerous
than man. His answer will be a look OF tenderness as he glances
at the ~sweet-faced woman who has walked by his side through
the tortuous winding paths that make the road Of life. As sweet
heart, as wife, as mother, as counsellor, as helpneet, she has made
the way smooth for him She has found an excuse for his failures,
and has rejoced in his successes. And the silver Of her hair
is ilumined IN the glory Of the setting sun in their days. while
from her eyes beams a smile Of peaceful content. Deadly? Yes.
