TITLE-HUNTING LADIES.
AMERICAN DUCHESS AND SCORES
OF SMALLER ARlSTOCRATS.


of Certain FamiIies-some Very
Promiscuous Marrying,
IL the American women continue to
go on as they have been doing they will
soon Americanize not only the peerage Of
England but the nobility of every other
country In Europe. A title in England
means more than title in France or Ger
many or Italy or any other country that
deals in titles; a duke or even prince on
the Continent is cheap affair compared
with duke or even an earl in England,
yet the number of English titles of the
highest nobility that are now held
jointly by Englishmen and American
women is something surprising.
