And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
—Job xxix:13.
June Twenty-fourth
If you are an unsophisticated widow—one whose husband is just dead—you will find that you can remain in your own home sixty days without paying rent.

I don’t feel at all sentimental;
For women I care not a rap,
But give me a jolly and gentle
Rich widow in weeds and a cap.
