ECENT statistics indicate that
the popularity of the widow is
waning; but should this be
the case, she can most certainly af
ford to be generous, for her reputed
charm has almost become proverbial.
There are many instances of the
second marriage of widows, and it is
noticeable that the husband in such
cases frequently happens to be the
younger of tho two.
This is not extraordinary, for" wo
men Invariably remain young longer
than men, and a woman who has en
countered the exceedingly enlighten
ing experience of married life knows
exactly how to deal witlr a man.
She is intuitive and can instantly
diagnose his mood. If ho appears
worried and disirait, she is tactfully
quiet and sympathetic. She does not
force his confidence, because she rea-l
lizes quite well that he will probably
tell her everything later on.
A young man is naturally suscep
tible, and he appreciates this seduc
tive treatment.
When necessary, a widow is more
entertaining than a young girl. Her
knowledge of life has made her in
teresting; her experience has sharp
ened her intellect, and she knows ex
actly what to say upon each occasion.
As a hostess sho Is usually perfect.
Her previous knowledge of married
life has necessitated the acquirement
of culinary art, and sho realizes that
a dainty, well-son ed dinner appeals
to a man's soul quite as much as
moro beauty of feature.
Hut sho Is careful not to neglect
her own appearance, for she under
stands that men appreciate elegance"
as a whole.
Then with regard to tho caro of
tho family exchequer, a widow's ex
perience is Invaluable. At tho ex
ponso of much suffering sho has
learned the value of money. She
knows how and whoro to buy, and
gets good value for her expenditure;
and this in Itself is a great considera
tion for a young man.
But perhaps unselfishness is the
keynote of tho widow's success, Sho
has learned that sho is not the all-:
Important factor of tho marriage con
tract. Sho recognizes that domestic
art Is her sphere In life, and sho ap
preciates tho dignity of her x)bItIon.
In fact, sho la a "womanly" woman,
and, ns a rulo, decidedly deserves
lior popularity.
Mrs. Honry Sengstackon was hos
tess at ono of tho prettiest social
ovonts of tho season Friday aftornoon
when sho ontcrtalnod at cards. Tho
decorations wero extensive, artistic
and decidedly original, all savoring , with Mrs, J
