poses. Even the nearest bases, namely,
the Prcscadorea, Cavite and Manila,
are at a distance of 900 miles from one
another. Even IL the Washington gov
srnment decide on war, IL Is doubtful II
the Americans serving in the navy are
sufficiently patriotic to fight.
The American naval officers are
brilliant figures az balls and social
gatherings. but they are very deficient
in professional training and practice.

far but few American girls have gone
a-hunting in the empire of the car.
4 notable exception was that of Miss
lula Dent Grant, daughter of General
Fred Grant Miss Grant was regarded
as lucky in the eyes of the title-hunterS
who long for an ancestral palace =
though it be a tumble-down one. Her
father, not being able to finance the
bargain-the little detail of cash inevitable
in all foreign alliances - the marriage
must have been indefinitely postponed
had not the young lady's aunt, Mrs.
Potter Palmer of Chicago, generously
come to the rescue with a marriage dot
of one half million dollars.
Speaking of the financial side OF these
transatlantic marriages, it is worthy of note
that of the one hundred or more American
girls that have secured titled husbands,
there have been very few who have not
been called upon to use their money to
boltser up the lettering fortunes OF the
house with which they have allied them
selves. And not seldom the sCions of
noble houses have shown unseemly haste
in getting their hands into the strong
boxes Of their American fathers-in-law.
The public of two continents gasped

ceremony was performed although he was
supposed to be bankrupt before he met
the fair Helen.
