OF young women to the Mediterrane-

tours. Such parties are to be met in
all parts of Europe. This subject was
brought to mind very forcibly by a
conversation with an amiable young
widow. encountered at an evening re-
ception during the past week, writes
Julius Chambers, In the Brooklyn
Eagle.
She has made the European trip
many times, and, knowing every de-
tail Of her history, 1t wasn't difficult
to turn the conversation into a chan
mel that would necessarily involve her
own experiences as an heiress.
'The general impression doubtless
is that young woman who has come
into a fortune, or is sure to do so,
leads life of joy and contentment,"
said my companion. Her troubles
are somewhat less than the annoy
ances to which a rich young girl who
has not attained her majority is sub
jected. In the latter case, passion af-
fected by her suitors is less ardent;
but the thought always uppermost in
the minds of her men friends is to
keep in the ring until the girls stat

NEW AUTO RECORD.
Bert Fuller Makes Fast Drive From
Ogden to Salt Lake.

Bert Fuller, the driver of Samuel
Newhouse's automobile, broke all chug-
chug records between the Hermitage
In Ogden canyon and Salt Lake yester-
day. The run from the Hermitage TO
Ogden was made In exactly thirteen
minutes. which is four minutes better
than the old record, held by resident
Of the Junction City.
The drive from Ogden 10 Salt Lake
was made in one hour and twenty
seven minutes. The best time ever
made over this same course before was
one hour and thirty-nine minutes, and
was made by Sam Sharmen.
Chauffeur Fuller says the roads be-
tween here and Ogden are the rough
est he has ever travelled. In some pla-
ceS he declares that the machine
jumped as high as three feet In the
air, and that In spite OF the fact that
1t was heavily loaded and carried in
addition to the driver four other indi-
viduals During the drive between
Salt Lake and ogden, Mr.. Newhouse's 8
straw hat took a shoot skyward but
the rich mining man only smiled and
told Fuller to keep going on. The
result was that the old record between
Salt Lake and Ogden was bettered by
exactly seven minutes.
