Castles in Spain are probably the
cheapest in the world, for a person
with a sanguine temperament and a
little imagination may build them at
any time. In this respect they have
an advantage over the chateaux OF
France shown in the illustration.
But some of these French chateaux
are wonderfully cheap-are, indeed,
almost in the class Of abandoned
farms. Castles on the Rhine used to
be within the reach of moderate for
:unes, but they have greatly increased
n price lately. In the same way there
nas been an increase in the price OF
italian palaces.
Neither the Rhine castles nor the
Italian palaces are so numerous as the
chateaux of France. There were many
Of them built many years ago, some
of them dating from the days of Louis
XIII.
That these places should be pur-
chased at small prices is due to the
Capitalization in the life of France
which has taken so many of the popu-
lation to the cities. Young men in the
families that owned these houses in
the past had usually enough to live on
and possibly maintain the chateau in
a meager fashion that was a strange
contrast to its early grandeur.
Sometimes a wealthy marriage
helped the owner to hold on to the
chateau. These conditions all existed
until the time came when these places
were offered for sale.
This was the result of the feeling
among young Frenchmen that it was
not beneath their dignity to work.
Nowadays men of the oldest families
are anxious to make a lame and a
fortune just as if they had not a long
line of titled ancestors behind them.
Heirs Are at Work.
They enter all professions. They
are lawyers, engineers, architects and
scientists. These professions take
them to Paris if they do not lead them
far beyond the borders of their own
country.
Such houses as those shown in the
pictures are little more expensive than
the best of the own your own home"
