MARRYING FOR TITLE
As It Is Viewed by One Who Be-
heves In Dukes, Etc.
Nobody for American Heirsssss t.
Marry Bat some ForsigAss sS
Posiuon, IL the uxpsst
Opinion.

]
The other day the next duke tc
marry an American girl entered {
restaurant In Fifth avenue to take
luncheon with one Of the family h IL
soon to Join. In few minutes sysry
table In the room buxzed with CON
versation on the subject OF the mar
riage, says the New York Sun.
IT'S very good thing" said one Of
three women who bowed to the duke
and nothing could be more ridiculous
tnan all this talk Of buying q title
When girls are as rich a. this one.
there Is practically nobody for theu
to marry but some foreigner with
much position as he has"
Another thing that people neve.
seem to think about when they criti-
cise these foreign marriages." said an
Other of the trio. "is that these girls
DO not want money and have no earth
ly use for any more. For that reason.
there are no grounds for their trying
TO marry the rich men II their own
country.
For one OF them to marry 4 Door
man would In most cases be quite a.
much criticised as II she took a for
eigner, and all sorts of things would
be said about the man who married
and settled down to live on his wiYs's
income.
He might be great author or in
ventor or artist, and In that way be
an appropriate match for her. But
you know there aren't many persons
OF that kind among the men that .
girl OF position could marry. Then
the utmost that she could enjoy any
how would be the reflected glory OF
being his wife.
but duchess is something In her
own name. She has her own honors
and her own special privileges.
Then there 10 great deal in the
life she sees to interest q woman who
wants some change from the monotony
of society and domesticity. She 10 =
sort Of little. perhaps q very little,
queen. and there are delights In the
life she leads to be found nowhere
else"
And when It's all said and DONE
In the third one Of the group.
there 10 certain kind Of glory about
having good title that any woman
enjoys 20 long ~ she has the other
things that go with It. II she has tho
money TO live up to It In the right
way, that sort Of life offers more than
any In this country.
III II we're customary for tho Amer
can men that the women OF wealth
meet here to 90 into politics. there
would be much more IN their own
country for these immensely rich girle,
they could go to Washington and take
part in official life there.
But that happens only when girls
Who have married foreigners come
,ack here with them The only wom-.
N OF wealth who play any part In
ocial life there that would be- agree
bile to New York women are those
hat have been married to men In the
oreign diplomatic service
CAS- It is there is practically nobody
III for these great heiresses to marry
ut foreigners Of title. And tho hnppi-
ess of the women who have done that
hows the wisdom Of 1t when the men
ley merry are worthy Of their affec-
on. Nowadays the mothers usually
se to I (.
"'rhe disslfated and pennlless for
gner RS n husband for tho American
eiress IL thing of the past. The
lsor!ean girls now get the pick OF
otdest titles and the most attrac-
cf the men"
These opinions we're uttered while
10 trio from time to time glanced at
e young man who had created 80
uch interest In the restaurant. From
o attitude OF the crowd that looked
him there was evidently something
the same feeling among the other
tests. But It was In any case only
