THE search for titled husbands
by American women with heavy
purses has led to ridiculous situa-
tons in which the ''hoI sense" OF
Americans is seriously questioned.
Mrs. Ayres, one Of the richest
women of this country, is being
courted in Paris by Polish prince
and O Russian of the same rank.
The contest between the titled pau
pers for Mrs. Ayers millions has
become so spirited that betting on
the result is q common afternoon
pastime in the select circles in which
the American lady is moving.

provides that on and after Septem-

place or resort. The penalty for a

law that would mako it obligatory
on mothers to take their tobacco
smoking hopefuls across their knees
