WHY Foreigners
CAPTURE OUR GIRLS
REASON is GIVEN BY HENRI DE
SlNCAY WHO MARRIED
MISS LOGAN.
Declares American Men Are Too Much
.engrossed in Business to Win and
Hold Affections Of Americans.

New York, Feb. 20 American men
sta too much engrossed in business
cad money-ma1ing to win or hold the
affections OF American girls They
tssk Of little else, and American girls,
educated as they are today, are not
interested in Wall street, the stock
exchange OF the markets. 1t seems
to me that this is one reason why so
many Lmerican girls marry foreign
ers.p
This is the opinion of NJ. Henri de
Sincay, himself a foreigner, who today
narries an American girl-Miss Marie
Louise Logan When asked for his
views on why foreigners are favored
suitors of American girls, he thought
IL over for a few minutes, meditatively
twirling his heavy gold ring.
The usual conditions of a poor hus-
band and rich bride are reversed in
the case Of NJ. de Sincay and Miss 10
gan. Her family is in moderate cir
cumstances, while NJ de Sincay's IA
Their is the owner of the largest zinc
interests in the world. The son has
princely allowance, is to be taken into
his fathers business, and eventually
viii inherit many millions.
NJ. de Slncay is tall-well over G
feet and OF distinguished appearance.
He speaks English Auently, having
received part of his education at OK
ford.
Il have found the American girl my
ideal among women; she is clever, so
Intelligent and wonderfully well edu-
Gated" continued NJ. de Sincay She
has remarkable tact-so much more
than your men, and she adores art,
Auuslc and the languages-tastes which
seem largely to be hers here. The
men, you see, think that money and
bus ness are the most important fac

of The most distinct differences be-
tween the foreign man and the Amer

Now, tell me franky--you're a

business affairs? Nothing, | should
say: for their conversations, as J have
found them, are of entirely different

pretty young miss look as bored as a
seasoned belle at a dinner because
some taotless man Insists upon contin.

affair.
"The American men should take
more interest in the ethical sides OF
life, else the American girl should be
differently trained The latter would
be- indeed a tragedy, for to my mind
the American girl of today surpasses
the women of any period in history
They are the embodiment of grace
phvgical beauty and mental attain
ments. In other words, it is mp to the
American men to keep the American
girls married in their own country
