limits OF a single newspaper article, TO
give list OF American heiresses who
have married foreign titles.
The very mention of the subjsct
naturally. brings to mind the pretty
daughter of Leonard Jerome, who mar.
ried Randolph Churchill. She was a
bright, clever young girl, and the gos-
sips say 1t was "a case of love at first
sight on the part of the impressional
young Randy" who first saw her as
she was descending the stairs from the
ladies' dressing room al an evening re-
ception. However this may be, she
has made him much better wife than
he deserves, il London tittie-;attle is all
rue. Jt
Miss Eva Mackey was q quiet, Gull
tared American girl with millions. 1t
is quite possible that Prince Collona
would haYe married her, even had she
not been quiet and attractive. 1t is
morally Certain tina he wouid not have
married her without the millions.
Miss Ada Hungerford, who shone in
30 iety as Eva Mackey's aunt, married
CUNT Telfper, also an Italian, but the
wedding sunk into insignifcsnce along
side of the nuptials of Ter niece TO q
real Is carat prince. The marriages of
the MacRey family are not the only
instances of California gold haylng
gone to patch IN the moldy castles OF
decayed European nobility. s.

was so elated By her marriage to Count
Giuseppe Folchi Vibi thai she forgot
how to spell her own name, and when
the ceremony was performed by Car
dinal Manning, in London. the cards of
invitation bore the name of Macal-
ester. IN
| Lady Grantley, of England, was pop
ular in New York society few years
ago as Miss Kitty McVickers, and Lady
Anthony Musgrave is a daughter OF
David Dudley Field. Miss Kate
Park, OF Brooklyn, daughter
1T. w. Park, of Emma mine fame Is
now Countess Mounzilly, in Paris.
Princess Vicarara Cenci, of Rome, one
of the ladies-in- waiting to the Queen of
Italy, was Miss Loriliard Spencer, of
New York, and among her friends in
the Holy City are the Princess Quas-
poll, Countess Gisnotti and Macbi0ness
1osdolii, who were respectively Miss
Broadwood, Miss Kinney and Miss
Conrad when they left New York.
Speaking of tobacco reminds the Cos
sip of that rather peculiar marriage of
Miss Offender, the daughter of old
Eccles Offender, the millionaire tooac-
conist. to the Ma q eis de San Mafzauo
When Mrs. GIIleli Q died she cut ntf
her daughter and left all her snuffy
millions to her titled SON in.iaw. The
dutiful daughter evidently felt that this
was carrying the love of title little
too :ar, and has since-for the last ten
years-been engaged in the pleasing
occupation Of contesting the will. She
lives apart from her husband. but she
has the title and he has not the money
So far. II would seem that she has
rather the best of the bargain.
Italian titles are plentiful, and az q
natural consequence come cheap, and
it is not perhaps remarkable that q
large number OF our American young
women who have married titles rejoice
In names which are strongly suggestive
of macaroni and garlic. When we can
pick up Italian counts and marQuises
waiting on tables in our restaurants and
shipping hair in our barber shops, there
is no reason who any well-to-do Ameri-
can family with spare daughter
should not have little in the house.
That is. If they can stand the son-in-
law, and there is an amount of salts
faction in being able 10 talk about ''my
son in-law, the Duke de Organi," or
my daughter, the Marchioness Dana
na-Peanutti, which will 90 long way
toward excusing the fact that the wesrer
Of the titles smells OF onions and hair
oil or eats his Pc as with his knife.
German titles are also quoted very
low in the market know half a
dozen German barons who are earning
an honest living in New York by hard
work, and whose pocket books are as
barren as their title.
English lords and knights are rather
more expensive, but on the whole not
rnuch more desirable. / should suppose
that. if it is pedigree. they are after, the
average Chinaman would fill the bill,
for there are very few among our Celes-
tial fellow-c citizens who cannot trace
their ancestry back at least 2, 600 years.
OF course, no one has right to as
sert that these marriages are not gem
uine love matches. All the surface in
dications may go to prove that it is
desire for money on one side, and
craving for a title on the other, but
there may be underneath vein of af-
lection which will assay richer than the
Comstock lode ID the crucible of time,
but the casual observer is apt to be
skeptioal.
BY actual count, there are over 400
American girls who have married for
eign titles. In almost every case the
American girl has been rich. while the
European nobleman has been anywhere
from head over ears in debt to mildly
poverty-stTicken.
