SEVENTY TITLES.
FORTUNES OF GOLDEN GIRLS WHO
MARRIED NOBLEMEN.
It Shows All the American Women
Who Have Welded Titles
Since 1859.

That a new impetus has beer
given the fashionable fad of marry
ing title has clearly been shown
by recent events. Miss Anna
Gould is now French Countess
and Miss Mary Letter, the far
famed Chicago beauty, will soor
become the wife Of the Hon. G
Curzon, NJ. p, prospective heir tc
the title of Lord SCarsdale. Miss
Letters father is a millionaire
several times over, and it is not
improbable that as the Hon. Mrs
Curzon, Miss Letter will take with
her to England something like
three millions of good American
dollars. Anna Gould's fortune is
estimated to be fifteen millions.
These facts bring up the ques-
ton with startling emphasis-How
much money have titled American
girls taken away with them to for
eign shores? A laboriously compil-
ed list of all the marriages OF Amer
lean women to titled men for the
past thirty-fVe years shows that
at least two hundred millions have
gone away from these shores in
the period. Eighty per cent of this
is represented in the marriages of
the past six years. This shows
how the habit is growing. The ap-
pended list is the first time that
anything Of the kind has ever
been printed, and it has been care
fully verified. 1t speaks for itself:
