WOMAN'S WORLD

(Continued from page 4.) Will War Widow's Re-marry? This is a question that a contributor to the "Scotsman" has been asking of persons interested in the matter. Will the widows surrender their pensions to re-marry? ■ ' . ' '

"You must remember," said a Scotch Registrar, "that even before the Derby scheme, when Kitchener's clarion call was being answered by thousands of young Scotch' patriots, there was an unprecedented rash of war marriages. Many young girls thought there was no finer way of showing what they thought of their hoy's sacrifice than to become his wife'before he went out to face the enemy. There cannot be any doubt that many of these marriages, while brought about by the purest motives, were ill-judged. A little more thought by both parties ■would have shown them in most cases the wisdom of waiting. But thero was no use preaching. It would have been futile, and the result to-day is that we have hundreds of girl-widows, who have really never known what it is to be a wife. Your question is rather a difficult one to answer. But I will do

my best. I think you will find that the loss of money -will never prevent a girl from marrying if the man who offers seems likely to make her happy. Already, in many cases, you must have noticed the marriages of very young war widows." And these unions are not in one class, but in all classes of society. Many never gave the pension a thought, and I believo the widow of a private soldier will think less of giving up her pension than, say, the widow of a lieutenant or captain will, even although in the case of a private's widow money may ho moro needed."
