hon boss to do ItIn It ItIn In the tho th first place dont don't be catty enough oh enough oh yes there ther are Tom cats as well as to Minnies to leave leav your wife her inheritance only so long as she th remains unmarried Believe me mc many a wIdow ha has dried her weeping eyes yes on that clause clauce in her hus- hus husband's husband's hue bands bands band's will for she has Justly reflected that If Ir her departed spouse had that sort of mean pusillanimous Jealous soul he wasn't worth grieving over This provision also defeats its own end because it would raise the th fighting spirit of a female worm and make her determined to marry the first man mn that asked her Just for spite B RESIDES it isn ian t fair and honest If It your our wile wife has been a good wife who abe has held up her end of or the matrimonial partnership the she has earned her share sharo of o whatever r you possess and you ou au haven l t nn any right to withhold it flom lie liei or lie tie a string to It How low I would auld you ou au like her herto herto herto to fix lix matters so that you ou au couldn't marry after she dl died d And an anway any way do ou au think that It I la going colne to add any to the JO jos josof s sor or of heal hea en when hen ou are nrc an angel aneel to know that your our wife stile ICe Is lonely and forlorn living llvine around w with Ith Ui her children and in law laws a 5 w who ho iso dont don't is ant anther her or existing miserably In boarding houses honses or hotels just because 5 ou kept her from Crom making new ties after er you OU were ere dead dad Secondly as to the division of your estate If you have hav only a small amount to leave leave it all to your wife because she will spend most st of or the Income on the children anyway and the children are better able to make a living than she ehe he Is But If yOU have a comfortable fortune to bequeath do not leave it all to your wife with the Idea that she will look out for the th chilS children chil- chil S dren but give each child Its fair portionS portion S For one thing your wife might remarry and nd her second husband loot the th estate Furthermore while It Is true that a mother will look after her children It Is Ie equally true tru that no mother can turn a deaf e ear lr to the pie plea of her child who Is II In trouble or In want and so the prodigal sons daughters daughter get the lions lion's
