The new avenues to social impor-
tance opened by skill at bridge have
introduced a number of persons who
would never have been thought of
five years ago, and there are men as
we'll as women among these new
comers. The game is generally more
difficult among women than men. Men
are much more in demand always.
Athletics have proved nearly as
much of an open sesame to women
as to men. A girl who can ride we'll
or plays good tennis will find herself
almost as acceptable to any society
as one who plays good bridge.
Singing or musical talent in any
form will not be of much use to her.
Games, games, and still more games,
will make her an appreciated visitor
at country houses or guest at dinners.

IN COURTEOUS OLD SPAIN.
Traveller Gets Best Idea by Journey.
ing Third Glass.

The stranger cannot perhaps moro
easily get a single glimpse of the true
and. ancient Spain than by acquiring
the habit of travelling third class. The
seats, indeed, are hard, but the COM
pany Is usually excellent, charming in
its manners, and not offensive to any
sense. Here a constant series of novel
pictures is presented to the traveller,
who may quietly study them at
leisure. Perhaps it is a dozen merry
girls on their way to festival, pack
ed tightly together and laden with
packages; some, the more sedate
among them, wear mantillas, some
bright handkerchiefs on their heads,
or go with their hair uncovered; but,
however they are dressed, to what
ever class they belong, they are all
clean and sweet
Or, perhaps it is a less crowded
carriage one enters; there are two
middle class Spaniards and a peasant
group of three; a fat, jolly, middle
aged man in a peasants costume, but
clean and new, almost stylish; a wo-
man of like age--one of those free,
robust, kindly women whom Spain
produces so often; and pretty, bare
headed girl, evidently her daughter,
though the man seems friend or re-
lative who is escorting them on their
journey. By and by, when we have
been some hours on our journey, he
lifts from the seat in front of him the
large, heavy, embroidered wallet-the
alforja which Sancho Panza was al
ways so anxious to keep well filed
unwinds it and draws out one of the
great, fiat, delicious Spanish loaves
and throws it on the wOman's lap.
Then a dish of stewed meat appears,
and the bread is cut into slices which
serves as plates for the meat. But be-
fore the meal is begun the peasant
turns round with hearty "Gusta?'
1t is the invitation to share IN the
feast which every polite Spaniard
must make even to strangers who
happen to be present, and it is as a
matter of course politely refused:
"Muchas gracias." Before long the
black leather wine bottle is produced
from the wallet and the meal pro,
ceeds. At its final stage some kind
of sweetmcats appears and small
fragments are offered to the two mid,
die class Spaniards, and then-with
a slight half-movement, expressing a
fine courtesy restrained by the fear of
Offering offensive attention--to the
foreign caballero also. 1t is not i'm,
proper to accept this time, and now
the middle class Spaniards avail them
selves of it, though with awkward un'
amiliarity-Atlantic Monthly.

The Power of Man.

Have you any idea of what is meant
by the physical power of man? ASK
the officials of the English prisons,
where convicts are required to oper-
ate the treadmill. Estimate how
many pounds are lifted an hour by
the alleged sportsman who shoots
pigeons with seven-pound gun. Give
a woodsman fiYe-pound ak on ten
day job in the Adirondacks and reck-
on the number of times he raises that
weight every eight hours. What
of the busy typewriter, capacity
100 words a minute? Each hand
weighs pound (speaking of man
now, not the dainty little flippers
of womankind), and counting each
word at an average Of four letters
we can figure out movement
of 460 times minute, $4,000
times an hour, and $4,000 times
in working day of eight hours, which
is to say he lifts 10000 pounds with
both hands in day of eight hours.

coined at the first homes in these
places. In this way they make
friends that remove from their paths
many difficulties in the social ascent.
One great advantage to the man
who succeeds socially through his
skill in sports is that he arrives
through the men rather than the
women. Men of the set which so
many are striving nowadays to enter
have much more respect for the new
comers that are introduced by men
than for those introduced by women"
This was the opinion of a man who
has seen many young men climb to
the social heights on which they had
set their eyes and who himself many
years ago accomplished the same
journey He is q mine of social wis
dom, produced first by his own strug-
giles and then by observing the efforts
of others
1t Inust be said in his favor that he
has always offered a helping hand to
his juniors setting out on the same
way he travelled so long ago. He is
an exception to the rule that social
struggles kick out the rungs of the
ladder as they mount.

letics that the young man may make

John Jacob Astor, the first, died in

estate was worth $40,0O0,0OO. The
HGIk OF it was left to his son, William

Fogsiy to the family real estate busi-
ness. On his death in 1875 he left
3fS0,000,000 to his sons, 100000
given to John Jacob II. and $4,000, 900
fG William. Both devoted their at
teAtion like their father, TO the family
real estate. When William died, in
1889, he is said to have left about $70,-

vile, Mrs. AstOr, and his son, the pres
eat John Jacob Astor, are now consid-
erred larger.

ed at $100,000,000. She inherited
100000 in 1865 from her father, a
whaler of New Bedford, Mass. An
aunt subsequently added $6,O00OO0
more. She nearly doubled it before
she married Edward H. Green. Her
most important property is the Chem

her two children, Edward Rowland

Millions from Railroad Deals.
James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railroad and one of the
masters of American railroads, is re-
puted to be worth 100000, 900. He is
6S years old, and owns transportation
facilities covering almost the entire
continent and steamship lines to the
orient. His rise has been swift and
comparatively recent. He saw his first
opportunity in 1879, when he gained
control of the st. Paul & Pacific rail-
road, reorganized it, and started to
develop the northwest. In 1893 he
completed the Great Northern to the
Pacific coast with it's 5000 miles of
lines and 900 miles of yards and sid
ings. He owns a superb feet of steam
ships on the great lakes, including the
boats of the Northern Steamship
company.
Several Of the great fortunes OF the
country must remain largely matter
of speculation. To this class belong
the accumulations of j. Pierpont Nor
gan, II. H. Rogers, and E. H. Harri-
man. Mr. Morgan's fortune was re-
Gently estimated at $50,OOO,OOO, but
this at best is hazardous guess. Equal

follow the serious and business policy.
They say that oldish women are al
ways complimented by Difference and
attention from young men. Well,
am surely not mistaken when say
that oldish men are just as suscepti-
BILE to these attentions. They like
to have young men listen to their ex-
periences, and above all talk to them
about business matters.
The necessary preliminary to this
sort of social success for a climber
is membership in good club. He
cannot find the old men to talk to un-
til he gets in. Then If he is attentive
to the old members in the way have
described he will soon find that he
is one of the most substantially popu-

New York.-John d. .Rockefeller's
fortune, according to Frederick T.
Gates, his almoner, cannot exceed
s250, 100000 to 100000 900" This
statement was made on Mr.. Rookie
felIer's own estimate. While this fig
Wre indicates smaller sum than Mr.
Rockefeller has been popularly sup
pOsed possessed of, It leaves him still
che richest man in America, although
many believe Senator William Clark
may prove eventually to be the rich
est man in the United States. Owing
q his great undevelOped mining prop
critics his fortune cannot be accurately
estimated.
Furthermore, great fortunes which
may be placed in the same class as
that of Mr.. RoCkefeller's are by no
means infreQuent. The great fortune
of to-day hovers around the 100000,
0a0 mark. Half dozen men and es-
Cates are rated at sums ranging any
where from that figure to Mr.. Rookie
sellers $300,000,00O. Such fortunes are
sufficiently numerous to fix the stand
ard in sums of nine figures.
Mr. Carnegie's Vast Accumulation.
When the Carnegie company was
formed in New Jersey in March, 1900.
as a preliminary to the formation of
tbe United States Steel corporation,
Mr.. Carnegie was credited with $780,

year His income is now about
$4,000 900 a year, according to re-
cent estimate. COnceding that his in

Senator CIark's New Palace.
Another multi-millionaire from the
west is Claus Spreckles, the sugar re-
finer of San Francisco, for many years
known as the Sugar King Of the
Hawaiian Islands" He Is gegerally
credited with being worth about $780,
100000. He joined the so-called mil
lionaires' colony" on upper Fifth ave-
nue. last August, when he purchased
the marble house of Isaac Stern, near
SiXty-seventh street.
No residence in this neighborhood
attracts more attention than the elab-
crate, even fantastic, mansion Of Sen
ator William A. Clark, Fifth avenue
and Seventy-seventh street. 1t has
been in course Of construction since
1899. Its cost has been estimated az
sums ranging from $3,000,00O to S5,-
100000. Senator Clark, the Copper
King of Butte, will add O. unique per-
sonality to the millionaires of New
York. His purchases of pictures have
attracted no less attention than his
business and political contests. A re-
cent estimate of Senator Clark'S for
tune at something over $150,000,000
was considered not excessive.
Two Great Foreign Fortunes.
Passing to the great fortunes abroad,
the Rothschild millions appear as a
Colossus, to be measured with a foot
rule. Their united properties pass far
beyond the hundred millions. In 12
years they loaned nearly $450,00O, 900
to European governments. Some idea
of their riches may be gained from the
fact that since 1915 they have raised
for Great Britain more than $1,000.
100000; for Austria, 250,000,000; for
Prussia, $2OO,O0O,000; for France,
100000, 900; for Italy nearly $500, ,OOO,-
900, and for Russia more than $685.
100000 /
Compared with American fortunes,
most of the other estates held in Eu-
rope seem small indeed. The property
of the Duke of Portland, for example,
is the second in point of Importance in
England. His estates comprise 1873 200
acres, including the famous Welbeck
Abbey and Sherwood Forest, and Lon.
don properties in and around Regent,
Welbeck and Wimpole streets, Caven,
dish square and Portland road. The
dukes income is estimated at $780,.

Americas Richest Widow.
The story of Mrs. Anne Weightman
Walkers $120,OO0,O00 is not without
its elements of tragedy. Most of her
fortune came from her father, William
Weightman, of Philadelphia. Starting
as penniless boy in laboratory, Mr..
Weightman laid the foundation of his
wealth in the quinine trade during the
civil war and by introducing sugar
coated Quinine pills. 1t was swelled
rspily by real estate investments in
the heart of Philadelphia, including a
theater, hotels, Office buildings, and
business and residential blocks.
His friends were amazed when he
died, leaving his entire fortune, except
for few small bequests, to Mrs. Wal
ker, his daughter.

Great Fortunes of
Today Not Computed
Under Nine Figures

Although William Waldorf Astor is
an Englishman by adoption his wealth
represents an American fortune. His
father is said to have beQueathed to
him a fortune of between 100000, 900
and $150,000,00O. The present value
of the William Waldorf Astor estate
is fixed at the latter figures.
How Vanderbilt Wealth Grew.
Commodor Vanderbilt believed in
the concentration of the family
wealth in competent hands. He left
$90,000000, the bulk of his estate, to
his son, William H. Vanderbilt and
one-half of the remaining $15,O0O,OO0
to the latter's sons. When William H.
Vanderbilt died in 1885 he had in
creased his inheritance to 100000 900.
His sons, William X. and Cornelius
Vanderbilt the second, received $780,
100000 each. Each of his eight chill
dern received $1O,OOO,O0O, one-half in
trust and $2O,O0O,OOO was distributed
in private bequests. Thus theh two
sons acquired an inheritance the pres
ent value of which is difficult to esti.
