Your affectionate brother, ——* + P. SI would advise you to write to the young man as | Soon as possible. i cain | ‘A letter from friend BI to the young man who proposed to the widow Dear Frank—I think you are making an unvarnished feel of yourself in proposing to a woman who !s twelve years older than yourself, even If she has barrels of money. What If she has loads of cash? You are not poor, and whea it comes to the money question there are many younger women you could get who are just as rich as your widew. 1 have nothing against her because she is a widow. Widows are all right, George Washington married a widow; go did Napoleon, and so did Count Rumford. (Rumford married two widows, I think.) As for myself, I rather like the widow idea if a fellow could only catch them young enough. [ think that widows of about sixteen would be all right. After twenty it's different. ‘Then they should be judged ao- cording to the amount of Government bonds they hold. One thing {s certain, Frank; when a fellow marries & widow he is likely to get a woman with some common sense, if common sense is to be found at all in the sex. Unmarried girl ely to be frivolous, I never saw one yet who had bri enough to keep the rain off with « half a dosen umbrellas, Yes, a widow ought to know something, but I draw the line at wives twelve years older than thelr husbands, Why? Well, you don't expect me to give you true and tried testimony, do you? Remember, Frank, I am @ bache- lor. But fust look at the proposition thus: You are twenty- five, she is thi even, In ten years you will be thirty- five, she forty n. You will then be a young fellow that @ young girl of eighteen wouldn't kick ow .we front stoop. Your widow wife will be just ripe for some octogenertan who needs some one to read him Mrs, Barbauld's works or the Psalms of David through an ear trumpet. In twenty years you will be forty-fiv ge when every man gots his second wind. You will become kittenish. You will bee gin to throw up your heels like a young colt in « pasture, Young women will begin to throw bouquets at you and you will think you are “it. You will with you were singte. That's the Lord's truth, Frankle @fou asked me to speak out boldly, no matter how I hit. I think I have done so, However, Frank, if you marry the “wid” and ever tell her what I said in this letter I'll put you where the body | Snatchers can find you without a map. Yours, BILLY. (To-morrow will be printed the widow's letter to a woman | friend and the friend's reply, both on the subject of the | proposal from the young man.)
