HOME MAGAZIN w THE v MAN wu «| SEB they are trying to frame up a scheme to protect the property of widows,” re- marked the Cigar-Store Man. “They ought to frame up a echome to protect men with money from widows,” eaid the Man Higher Up. “Another thing they ought to do is make a law fixing it so that a widow can’t spend any more money after her husband dies than she did when he was allye and she wasn't a widow —of course, assuming that the dear departed wasn’t a grouch. “So far as my observation has wan- dered widows are dead competent to take care of themselves. A few of them are soft marks for wise graft- ers, who make a specialty of dissect- ing widows’ bank rolls, but they are the exceptions that prove the rule, If all the widows were bang-up busi- ness women they could corral ell the money in the world in a few years. “There is a lot of hot air about the defenseless position of widows after they are left alone and have collected papa’s life insurance. To hear the eympathizers of the widow talk, you woud think that she was the epitome of the soft mark. Nothing to It! “Ninety-nine times out of a hundred she has been running papa’s affairs all hie life. She may not know much about his business from a ‘technical standpoint, and she couldn't tell a set of books from a street map of Boston, but you can bet your Adam’s apple against a broken erm that When pape was bringing home the mazum¢ she knew how much he ought ) . to bring. And when he showed up shy she called him down so far that his voice sounded like the peep of a sparrow. “Never you think for a minute that she didn't have papa’s bank roll @own.so pat that she conld identify the bills. Whbtever he spent she had to thow receipts for. When it came time to pass in his checks he called) WIDOWS, HE THINKS, ARE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF THEMSEL VES.

Then she begins to sit up and take notice. If she is young and good- looking she has the running all her own way, She has made a record in the Matron Stakes and the best the fillies can do 1s stand outside the fence and watoh her canter. “Take anything away from her?

The hat {s flat- shaped, with but one detail of trimming, @ handsome black plume, which falls stituted foolish, Some women are that way. They couldn’t keep any- thing in a storage warehouse, Wom- en like tthese have to have a man to look after them, and as a general thing they finds lots of men dead willing to take the keeper job. A widow who can't look after what papa has left her don’t get a chance to shed her weeds before there is a bunch of candidates around wanting to sit at the head of a table in # house in which she shall audit the expenses. “Another thing about this proposed law is that the world is getting pretty rapid these times, and when a rich man dies it is often a case of not knowing which widow to protect. The millionaire is seldom satisfied with one establishment. Some of them have establishments all over town. Of course, when the lord and master of this bunch becomes a fit receptacle for the embalming fluid, every one of them puts in a claim fora widow's bit. “Putting safeguards around widows fs like putting sails on a locomotive to increase its speed. Unless a widow is old and has a face that would frighten horses she stands no chance of being without a protector for a Great length of time. As for the old widows, théy are wiser than the young ones and don’t need anybody to look after them.” trom beneath the drim. A epring hat of unusual beauty is the Dendel model of eatin Ince straw.

HN Hepburn fret saw the Young woman he was rather taken with her, % Hepburn had continued with what was in his mind, he would have said: “Bhe is too self-polsed, too independent “mentally and physically, A man could never assume an attitude of protection toward her. ‘There's not enough of the clinging vine bout her, Not what I care a continental about her one way or the other. » He was crossing tho fleld in the tennis court with Teddy Ackerman when he made up his mind to this, and he had a _ Segue den that Teddy was babbling qpout something, but his eyes were fized upon a figure in @ while dress Ld half reclining in the ehade of a noble Ba> petoh. #25 MIun't she a queen!" exclaimed Teddy, Po. enthuslasticall #5 new, Don't you spoil th He isn't bad he “I can hardly say 1 do. looking, though, and as you eay, does everything well, but’ "You don't ke him.

She was doomed (for her sins, whe told herself) 10 see much of him tn the next few days, and he experienced what he walled the attitude of repulsion, He rather resented the way Teddy Ackerman was following her about, 100, and the fact that she seemed rather to like that idlot’s attentions did not in- crease his—avell, his respect for her. There came an evening al last, how- ever, when his old feeling of warmth and affection for Ackerman revived. He had watched him strolling in the ravine path that ran below the house—Just a glimpse here and there between the trees—and he had noticed that the woman with him and to whom ho was talking earnestly was—Margaret, It was not at that mo- ment, when a strange pain shot through his breast and the blood swelled and throbbed at his temples, ‘that the old fegling returned. It was when Teddy came striding back alone, his head upon his breast, his face white and drawn and his eyes blank and unseelng, that he felt kindly and pityingly, “Teddy,” he ald, “Oh, go to the devil roughly, and walked on. For & moment Hepburn stood looking after him uncertainty, rage rislog within jim at the thought of the injury done hie friend by Adak 4 and we'll watch you."
