There is no doubt about this being a
mercenary world. A pretty and por-
tionless girl is considered merely as a
pretty girl, but let her be the possessor,
or expected inheritor of wealth, and she
becomes as beautiful as the morning. !"

at present will become beautiful as the

been unsettled, with prices Auctuating,
