WEALTH SANS HAPPINESS

Addie Phillips When a Girl Was
Bernard Kennedy's Sweetheart,
and Changed Position Did Not
Affect Her LOve-WhiIe Driving
for Her He Did His COurting-
Big Mansion Closed to Her.
Adelaide Phillips Kennedy has made
history in the love lore of Swampscott,
Mass. She has enacted in real life the
story of Bret Harte's Poverty Flats"
only she has added the touch of romance
which the author dare not add-she has
married him who was her hero before
ore was struck, says the New York
World
With every luxury and daintiness
around her, with the millions OF her aunt
and uncle awaiting her, with the posi-
bility of a wealthy marriage, or even
title before her, the belle of Swamp
SCOTS schoolgirl set has followed the
bent of her romantic heart and welded
her uncles coachman.
The Phillips family is one of the
wealthiest IN or around Boston. War
the millions accumulated by their father,
Eben Phillips, out of oil and fish.
Warren Phillips was ambitious He
married girl of similar inclination.
Today the Phillips name and millions
are power in Massachusetts, and their
social prestige great. They have sew
eral splendid estates, the one at Swamp
scott being the favorite, at which they
spent most of the year. 1t is one Of
the finest places on the beautiful north
shore. The house is spacious and has an
air OF stately magnihcence about 1t, the
grounds are beautifully laid out with
graveled walks and green hedgerows.
flower beds and artistic statuary, and
the green lawns slope toward the greener
ocean beyond.
Yet the splendid setting did not bring
complete happiness to the Phillips home.
There were no children to whom the mil
lions and the prestige they had won
could descend.
WEALTH WITHOUT HAPPINESS.
SO when Mrs. Phillips sister died, nine
years ago, the orphaned daughter Addie
was taken into the Phillips home and
adopted AS their own, to share the bene-
fit of their present wealth and inherit 1t
at some future time.
Addie was then years old, slip of a
girl in calico frocks, with blue eyes,
tawny hair and piqued expression. For
her young life had had its ups and
downs, with considerably more downs
than ups. Her father, Nelson Phillips,
not related to the Phillips family into
which her mothers sister had married,
was a fisherman. Sometimes he was
lucky and sometimes he wasn't. His
fuctuating fortunes were reflected in the
little family that occupied a humble cot
tage on the Old Swamp road. Days

Lady Randolph Churchill, whose en-
gagement to Lieut.. CORVALLIS West was
announced at Cowes Thursday, but de-
MED by her son, is one of the most
famous Of American women In England
She was Jennie Jerome, of New York,
the eldest of the three beautiful Miss
Jeromes. Each married a prominent
Englishman, and all have been well re-
ceived socially Lady Randolph has been
peculiarly honored. The queen has re-
peatedly given evidence Of her warm
friendship and sincere admiration. Upon
Lady Randolph, indeed, the queen has be-
slowed the imperial order of the Crown
Of India
Leonard Jerome, father of Lady Ran
dolph, was a rather striking and much
admired figure in London even before his
beautiful daughters secured such advan-
tageous marriages. He was very
wealthy, and when his eldest daughter
was married to Lord Randolph Churchill
he gave her a dowry of $4,000, to which
was added many very costly gems, one
being a string OF pearls and
Churchill was the oldest brother of the
eighth duke of Marlborough. He was
educated at Oxford, and made a brilliant
success In politics, being long a member
of parliament and one of the most noted
speakers in the country. He died several
years ago.
The Oldest son of Lady Randolph,
Lieut. Winston Leonard Spencer Church
Ill, made the race for parliamentary hon
ors last fall, but was unsuccessful despite
all the influence which his mother
exercise Since that time Lady Randolph
has devoted her energies to the issuing of
a quarterly review, a gorgeously hand
some and expensive publication. It has
been called 1.-THE guinea magazine" from
its prices per copy-although its real
title IL the Anglo-saxon. In paper, Illus

not smiled SO brightly upon, but whose
heart was just the same as it had always
been.
And SO it happened that the courtship
that started in Swampscott's Poverty
Flats" was resumed on its boulevards
and one of the greatest heiresses Of
Massachusetts threw over the chances
for which she was the envied of all her
friends and married the man whose
heart she knew to be good and true,
though he was only an humble servant.
The present Mrs. Kennedy is not only
beautiful and accomplished, but she is
sensible.
81 have not acted on impulse" she
said, when talking of the matter. 1--WE
were engaged for nearly a year, and 1
had plenty of time to think 1t over, and
to weigh all conditions justly. I know

it will be no easy road, and the expert
ence of the last nine years may not be
a help toward fitting me for the life I
shall shortly have to begin, but we
were happy long ago, when we hadn't
wealth nor luxury; and IN any event 1
am convinced I can find no lasting hap
piness with another while he holds my
love-
LOVE IN A COTTAGE.
Even though that other might have
wealth, position or title, material things
cannot satisfy the heart.
81 know women whose every wishes
are gratified, yet they would sacrifice
1t all for one moment of the real hap
piness such as will actuate our lives and
be the motive for eevry sort of advance
ment.
Miss Phillips looked down at her pref
ty white hands.
81 know what you are thinking" she
said quickly. 'Well, what if they must
be soiled with little hard work. They
can stand it just as we'll as other wom-
ems hands, and Just as we'll as Bar
ney's.
"And some day we will not have to-,
for we are young and strong and ambi-
tious, and we've just as good a chance
to get rich ourselves as any one ever
had.
81 know 1t will be sort Of uphill work
for a while and the road may be bit
stony, but I'm used to Barney's driving,
you know. He has held the reins beside
me so long he might just as well con-
tinue always, you know. And he always
drove cautiously over the stones, and
welNweve never yet got to a hill so
steep that we didn't reach the top some
time, and 1 guess this one will not prove
the exception
Mrs. Barney Kennedy looked up with
a bright, resolute sort of smile, and there
is every reason to believe that she will
explode all conventional theories about
heiresses who marry their fathers coach
men. -LaVlna Hart

In view of young Alfred Vanderbilt's

Vanderbilt became his fathers favorite
son. 1t was decided that on him, If he
proved worthy, should devolve the task
of managing his fathers vast fortuna
and that as a recompense he should have
a larger share that his brothers and
sisters. This is in accordance with the
customs of the family.
Cornelius Vanderbilt himself inherited
the larger share of the vast Vanderbilt.

original Cornelius, he received 100000.
