Miss Letter is really so desirable
catch viewed commercially depends
of course on her father, for he has all
of the money there is in the family,

who are just beginning to enjoy social
pleasures, and a son. No doubt they
will come in for their share Of the
Letter millions. But Mr.. Letter will
undoubtedly provide handsomely fer
his oldest child. She has already been
presented at court and very fayorably
received IN London society. With the
added prestige Of Lady Searsdale she
will command as much consideration
as has beer accorded to any of the
fair Americans who have found Eng.
lish husbands.
