managed by their daughters. In an
analysis which turns the limelighi
upoI all the ways of the extremely
rich man, from his early beginnings
to his eating and drinking, his dress
and appearance his work and recrea-
ton, his words and probable thoughts,
there is probably only one person OF
all those to whom ne is continual
show and study, to whom he is not for
midable.
This person is his daughter.
When it was said that "a little child

said that a beruffied and befurbelowed
grovn-up daughter, with pink tinted
fingers, shining and waving tresses,

with his millions, NAY iintrench him

may be silent, unapproachable, and
impervious to questioning, investiga-

hearted creature who does not what
he would, but what he must, and does

some particular crisis in her life, sud-
denly has taken it into her pretty
head to do as she pleases, either with

The way he stands for her and what
she does or plays the opposite part is
a final test of his character in the

Whatever may have been the eccen-
tricities covered either in herself or
her lover by the arrangements which
Papa Millionaire Busch made in order
to wed Miss Wilheimina Busch proper
ly and conventionaliy to Lieut. Schar-
rer. nobody could doubt that in every
thing he showed first, last, and alto

fortunes into triumphs-the only kind
worth while to woman.
At first Papa Busch frowned-o the
young German officer-as sutton, that

father he did not object to his coming
TO the house, and from there they went
riding and driving every day. Then

fiasco. after which the Busch mansion
was called up by telephone. In the
face of so fragrant disregard of his
wishes and the failure of his little
scheme of letting the matter wear it.

He quickly capitulates.

back and be married at home. | have
no objections to Mr.. Scharrer as SON
in-law." he says by telegraph. And
he IS as good and better than his word.
He advises them to wait until things
quiet down a little, and then gives
his daughter wedding at beautiful
Pasadena. More than this, he starts
them of on their wedding trip in his
private car Adolphu5. which they only
left at New York TO take the trip to
Europe. This and much more was pro-

Not long ago the world held its breath
at the rashness of Helen Zimmerman.
Was she married? Papa Zimmerman

would know something about it if any
body would, provided such thing had
