Prefer Money to Husbands

There are LOO women in Noting.
hamshire alone who would rather have
money than husbands The fact does
not strike terror to the male English
mind when it is remembered how
greatly women outnumber men in
some parts of England.
The theory is advanced, however,
that eligible husbands are so difficult
to obtain that the proverb about the
bird in the hand has sunk deep into
the mind of the average Noting

Smith, rich lace manufacturer, died
he left $1,25O,OOO to found pensions to
be given to widows and spinsters Of
the county on condition that the bene-
hciaries undertake q vow Of celibacy.
The eligible list was oversubscribed
more than ten times. Seventy of the
pensions have been allotted, and the
will have some difficulty in
1isposing of others in view of the nu-
nervous applications.-New York Her
