AMERICAN GIRLS AND FOREIGN
TITLES.

We have always held that the bar
ter and trade OF American fortunes
for European titles is disgusting and
revolving beyond expression. Scarce
" one of these international marital
alliances hasever turned out anything
but disastrously And why should
they be expected to develop other
wise? The so-called lords and dukes
and earls and counts who come to
America in quest of n millionaire
bride have nothing on earth to com
mend them to decency. Their sole
aim and purpose is to secure large
dowry with which to indulge their
vicious and corrupt tastes, and they
take the wife along as an incum-
brance to the money bag. Naturally,
when the funds begin to dwindle, as
they invariable do in the eXtrava-
CANT hands of these eilete and de
funct nOblemen 60 and when the
American fathers-in-law begin to call
a hIlt on advancements, then the
noble husbands of the victims, who
have bartered their fortunes andper-
sons for worthless titles, begin to
cast about for a means OF disposinS
of their wives.
The marriage OF the Duke of Mari
borough to Miss ConsuelO Wander
bilt some years ago was heralded as
a real love match, and the bride de-
parted with a princely dOwry OF
5000, 600. This vast fortune has
proved inadequate to the little
Dukes ideas, and when W. X. Van
derbilt, father of the duchess, who
has since his daughters marriage
taken to himself a second wife, began
TO kick against further inOrdinate
allowances, the Dukes love for his
wife began likewise to melt. and he
threatens to cast her off. Reports OF
the proposed separation even go so
far as to say that the trouble began
as soon as W. n. Vanderbilt married
his second wife. and the Duke came
to a realization of the fact that there
would in all probability be Others to
share the Vanderbilt fortune with
him, hope which he had fondly
counted on. And so it goes, and yet
the next little nolbleman who comes
TO America in search OF a rich wife
will have his pick. He will begobbled
up by the time he lands. The fren-
zied rush for titled husbands and
sons-in-law is one of the American
crazes which no object lesson, how
ever revolving its details, can cure.
How long it will take American mil
lionaire parents to learn that the
only love in the make up OF a Euro
pean titled parsonage is for the
almighty dollar is hard to tell, but at
present the American millionaire
title hunter is as much to be con-
demned and as little to be pitied as
any of the Eurcpeanfortune hunters.
