THE COSTLY HANDLE.

In Speaking of the engagement
of Miss Gladys Vanderbilt to Count
I.aissio Szechenyi. OF Austria. Mrs.
Hetty Green. Americas richest wo-
man. says The woman who will pay
100000 for son-in-law should
have guardian" and that the
mother who purchases title for her
daughter should not expect to get a
sou-in-law of any account for the
same sum"
II would seem as if the experience
Of wealthy American girls with titled
princelings had been quite sufficient
But If there is one thing for which
American heiresses are noted il is
their overplus OF gullibilty. They
are willing to settle half their for
tune upon some degenerate scion OF
once noted family-in other words
pay for a worthless husband.
Mrs. Green may be misery. but
she is in a sense American. She
said that she had recently given her
son $4,000 with which TO buy an
automobile. but with the condition
that IL should be of American make
She Is quite right when she SAYS
that there are thousands OF honest
young workingmen in the United
States good enough to be any girls
husband-and that the girls who 20

serve what they get.
Miserly as she may be. Mrs. Green
shows a spirit more commendable
than the foreign princeling hunter.
The Vanderblts should have
enough of foreign marriages. It will
be recalled that Miss Consuela Van
derbilt married the duke OF MARI
borough some dozen years ago and
mat she settled many millions upon
her titled husband. and now the
duke has discarded his American
wife.

the commission, who came to Washington
last week to sound the naval authorities
as to the proposition to broaden the canal
locks to meet naval exigencies, will sail
from New York next Friday on their re-
turn to the isthmus. 1t is learned that the
exact dimensions of the projected locks
have not yet been fixed but that the OFF,
GERS of the commission with their expert
assistants are now engaged on the isthmus
in working out that problem. 1t is said
that none of the projects so far considered
the widening of the locks
to more than 125 feet, which is believed to
be ample to meet the needs of maritime

Extending Good Fellowship.

Secretary Garfield explained that i,
pleases him to meet with Y. NJ c. A men
because, he said, the association is ex-
means more than gifts of money or simi-
lar charities. 1t is this spirit of regenera-
tiOn which is thus started. the speaker
added. which gives an abiding faith in
this country, because it is increasing the
average of manhood and life The associ-
alton, he said, reaches the average life,
and for that reason it has operated to
raise the general average and to elevate
the ideals.
The present age, he remarked. is recog-
niZed as a commercial age. a time of
money-making and manufacturing, and.
he said, it is important to make the right
kind of character to direct the wealth.
In the making of character, one must be
guided by the principles which have guild
ed for hundreds of years, of which Chris
tianity must be the basis.
The Y. NJ. c. A, the speaker said has
unique position in the work of char
acter building. 1t meets men of all con-
ditions, it gets an exchange of ideas from
and it takes new light of the general aver
age For the association, he said, the
making of character is giving to the indi-
vidual the opportunity of se.f-training and
self-improvement. In this work the asso-
citation has much to do.
