an American" Long live the Ameri- can republic!
 The fortune-hunter exists both in America and Europe, perhaps if we win lean for moment to the philo- sophie attitude we may be willing to grant that there is more excuse for the latter. The baroness whom we have quoted above, says, in defense of the non-mercenary foreigners that have made marriages with Americans, and also to incline the reader to believe in the existence of extenuating circum. stancs for those looking for dowried brides, says: Tt is a false prejudice to suppose that the titled gentlemen are mere fortune hunters and degen- erated specimens of nobility. They are often men, it Is true, who could not marry women without dowries; for gentlemen on the continent. as it must be kept continually in mind, are excluded from the chances of making money. They are brought up for the royal army or the royal civil service, where the honors they may attain to are the highest in the land. but where the salaries attached to rank or office are small and long in coming. Dowry giving and taking has remained under the circumstances a hoary. un- questioned custom, so that the lover who looks for a wife with money may be totally unconscious of his expecta- tion being an unworthy one"
 We are able better to appreciate the extenuating circumstances after read ing the baroness words. but there eas. fly comes a limit to our good nature: and We avow nothing but scorn for such brazen fortune hunting as that followed by Boni Castellane-his title being a dubious one. we'll not be par ticalar about naming it. every time we make reference to the had Boni" of that indulgent family over in France.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PRETTY AND NOVEL ENTERTAINMENTS.
Costume Party Appreciated by the Little Ones m Various Entertain ments for a Church Club
 A Gay Bonnet Party.
For the Wee Ones.

For the Wee Ones.
 Children always enjoy dressing up, so mothers will find that costume, or character, parties will prove success full and really very little trouble. Of course, everything that has to be done outside of regular routine brings la bor, but what Is the difference as long as pleasure is given and life is made brighter and happier? There are so many commonplace days that every opportunity for keeping special or fes- tival days should be hailed with de- light. Invitations which request the boys to come as Brownies and the girls as Fairies" will result in most charming entertainment.
 Dancing is the best amusement with games played and music. There should be an older person to direct the music, as well as some one to preside at the piano. Songs the children know are always enjoyable. Provide generous supply of lemonade, to which access may be had during the evening, for young people are chemically thirsty. Add cherries and grated pineapple to the lemonade and it will be doubly attractive.
 Pair the little guests for refresh ments by giving wands, with rosette of tissue paper on the end, two of each color. Then form march and proceed to the dining room.
 Serve minced chicken sandwiches, cocoa with whipped cream, nuts and hard, small candies, which are not so rich as cream candies; small cakes frosted with chocolate and pink; choco- late and strawberry ice cream Deco rate the table with figures of Brownies and fairies, which may be obtained at confectioner's or at the German fa- vOr department.

 that undoubtedly some of these inter-
 national affairs were entered into with
 Dan Cupid as agent, ambition not the
 ruling motive.
 We will keep to patent facts and fig
 ures. Some statistician has been at
 work and tells us that no less than 43 great American heiresses and 100 lesser heiresses have mated with titled
 foreigners in the last 25 years.
 Let us name some names and dots, some recent and earlier marriages. The duchess of Roxburghe, born May Goelet took her husband the neat sum of $25,000,000. The fortune of Con- suello Vanderbilt. now duchess of
 Marlborough, was s10,OOO,OOO. Bar oness Halkett, born Sarah Phelps Stokes, belonged in the multi-million- aire class, her fortune equal to that of Consuelo Vanderbilt. The Letter girls--Lady Curzon, the countess of Suffolk, and Mrs. Colin-Campbell- each was richly. lowered, possessed a, fortune of s5.000,000. That other American duchess consuelo, Duchess of Manchester (daughter of Signor An tonic Yznaga de yalle, of Louisiana) in her day was accounted rich with fortune of $1,OOO,00O Princess Col onna (Eva Julia Mackay Bryant). had a fortune of $2,5O0,00O. The fortune of Mrs. Arthur Paget (daughter of Paran Stevens) was s2,00O,OO0 of Mrs. Vivian Mrs. Marshall O.. Roberts), $12. 100000, the fortune of the countess of Craven (Cornelia Martini. $1,O0O,- Miss Thaw. of Pittsburg), s1,O0o 900. Mrs. Michael Henry Herbert (Belle Wilson) took her husband s5,00OOO0.

It is within the last quarter of a century the international marriage has become subject of pronounced inter. est. It is within the last quarter of a century the American multi-million- aire has had his rise, the daughter of the American multi-millionaire had her rise. But making an effort to be fair, to put down prejudices old and time-worn, let us call to mind that this period has been marked by more travel. more opportunity for acquaint- ance between the American girl and titled foreigner; that not all the in vasion has been from the other side, not all the hunting been for the mil

For real, genuine fun give me Bon net party. Invite about ten congenial couples or not more than 24 people. ss small companies are usually more sue eessful. unless one is entertaining very formally.
 In the invitations request each girl to bring an old untrimmed hat, with material for trimming. When all have arrived. put the hats on one table. the material on another. Have ready a supply of thimbles, needles and stout thread, with trays of pins. Let the party find partners by means of rosettes of baby ribbon. two of each color.

Countess Festitics (Ella Haggin. Rarnueas HaIkaf

1 Countess Festitics (Ella Haggin) i, Baroness Halket.
 The author of a recent article in the Cosmopolitan on the subject, "The American Wife In Europe" seems to think socially ambitious American women may there enjoy just the oppor- tunities they long for, and that on the whole, in marrying foreigners, they arrive at the average amount of hap piness. This author, referring to the number of American girls that have married into conspicuous noble fam lilies abroad, emphasizes the fact that few have been divorced, and asks: 'To how many can you point who came back to America to live, or who took an American husband for new adventure?"
 But the writer just quoted had spe- cial reference to British unions Let us now turn our attention to other titled foreigners. Have you ever heard that American fathers are more mig gardly in yielding family fortunes to daughters making alliances with no bility than rich plebian fathers in Ger. many? And have you ever heard why the German noblemen are wont to pre- fer the less-richly lowered American girl? An American girl welded to 2 foreign nobleman, Baroness von We dell, tells us with the convincingness of judicial oversever: Unless rla- tive German girl without rank has genteel relations who are possessed of landed property or military titles, nobleman loses caste by union with her. He descends from the aristocrat- ic sets in towns to the financial or mixed set, or is excluded from his class altogether So it is just these men who aim to avoid such descent, who retain their self-respect. and mean to sustain their family traditions intact, that resist the temptation of great native plebian dowries to take up with the smaller dowries of Amer ican girls. Though having no class ification at home, republicans are re- ceived into any class abroad. No man sacrifices his caste by marriage with

A Church Club Entertainment,


 A correspondent requests entertain ments suitable to be given by church club of young girls; also for the names of cantatas to be given by company of 35. For the latter, would suggest going to the largest music store for suggestions, so much depends upon the personnel of the company as to the character of a cantata, the range of voices and the difficulty of the music capable of being handled by the young performers.
 A very original entertainment to be given by a church club in the near future is to consist of living pictures from real life.. An amateur photogra. pher in the crowd has spent some time in catching snapshots of local individ- uals, these he has enlarged and ar- ranged slides to be thrown on the can vas by stereoptican. The whole thing has been kept secret and inyi- tations have been issued to spend "an evening with great celebrities" adding it VIII pc the nrst and last appear ance." so no one can afford to miss the performance.
 Wedding customs of foreign lands would make another evening for the girls church club; taking Japanese, Burmese and Russian customs. This combined with cradle songs of all na- tions would constitute very pretty performance. Have "tea" room. dec orated with Japanese and Chinese Ian. terms. fans, umbrellas, etc., and have the quaint china spoons for sale at ten cents each, and if you can buy the inexpensive Japanese cups and sau. cers. They could be sold after the tea has been served.
