We shall all take our hats off TO
these little widows whose husbands
have been killed on the far-fiung
battlefield, who wear the black veil
'of mourning; and really in their
hearts are widows indeed.
But I received letter from a boy
asking me to check his wife and
see what happened to her and we
found her living in pleasure, a life
of lust and sin.
God pity such widows when they
