Many persons refer to money as "the

money is the root of all evil The inor-

Of every sane man. There is vast diff

money, md the money having possession

our servant 10 the other case we are the
servant of money.

| the roll of saints none more splendid
than those Of few wealthy women
who give of their substance to found
hospitals, endow orphanages and erect
buildings for purposes that are helpful
to humanity. OF private applications
for pecuniary assistance there seems
to be no end when a woman, young or
old, is reputed to be rich. and the girl
with a million has much experience in
answering such letters.
Whether or not the American girl
with million will continue to be the
easy victim of INSCRIPTIONS foreign
fortune hunters, remains to be seen
1t is surprising fact that girls other.
wise clear-headed and sensible, have
been easily tempted by the glitter of a
title, and have been occasionally will
ing to let their wealth become mat
ter of barter for which an old name
was accepted without demur,
Among the numerous international
marriages on record in the last few
years, there have been some felicitors
unions. Others have been disastrous
failures. AS rule, a rich girl takes a
risk when she marries an impover
ished suitor from another land. His
traditions are not hers. His relations
when they become her RELATIONSHIP
law may treat her with lofty contempt.
They match their blue blood against
her millions, and fancy they have done
her favor. A marriage anywhere, at
any time, whore the contracting par
ties allow motives of convenience to
influence them is very likely to en-
counter rough weather, and the good
Ship of Home may be dashed to pieces
on the rocks Of discord A plain
American should be good enough as a
husband for an American girl.
1t is the greatest of pities that our
girl with million should ever get the
idea that men are running after her
for the sake of what she has This no
ton is sometimes instilled into her
mind by people who attach too great
Importance to money. Fortunes, par
ticularly in this country, are rather
kittle Katie. One day they are here
another they are gone. The girl with
a million as we'll as the girl without
fortune is wise to be prepared for d
possible evil day by acquaintance
with bread-winning art that may
stand her in stead when the time
comes.

She had no preparation and no initia-
