He is twenty-seven years old and is a
grandson of the late Count Ferdinand
de Lesseps, the famous engineer who
built the Suez canal and failed to
carry to completion the work of sever

jacques has been interested In aviation
ever since the sport or science or art
had its inception and became an active
participant about year ago. He Is
now considered one of the very best
and most representative OF the aviators
OF France. He was the second man to
cross the English channel In an aero

seen military service and holds a COM

During the recent international ayia-
ton meeting at Belmont park there
was considerable talk of love match
between Claude Grahame- White, the
famous English hier who won the Cor
don Bennett International trophy, and
Miss Pauline Chase, the well known
actress. But something went wrong
with the carburetor or the spark plug
or the propeller of that romance, and
nothing was heard OF II after the close
of the meeting. However, Miss Chase
accompanied Mr.. White as a passenger
on one of his very numerous trips over
the Belmont park field. That may not
have signified much, however, for he
had also as a passenger Miss Elean Or
Sears, the young society woman Of
Boston who goes In" for aviation as
well as for almost every other form Of
sport.
II Is too early yet, of course, to tell
whether aviation encourages or dis
courages romance and matrimony
Some of the worlds leading hiers. such
as the Wrights, are unmarried while
others have wives who are keenly In

1TY the poor richl
- Not the moderately rich,
mind you, whose wealth runs
up to $9.e9e.9s9 or less. but
the really wealthy, those whose for
tunes need eight figures or more for
expression. What's the matter with
them, you say2 oh, nothing much
only the cold, unfeeling courts are for
bidding them to spend as much as they
would like of their children's for
tunes.
Two recent instances of niggardli-
ness on the part of the legal authori-
ties have given evidence OF this tend
ency of the courts. The first case was
that of young Miss Eugenie Marie
Ladenburg. sixteen years old. whose
mother sought permission to spend be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 q year on her
daughters bringing up. The other
was that of young Hunt Tilford Dick
inson, for whom an annual allowance
of $4,000 was sought In the latter
instance Surrogate Cohalan of New
York intimated that in his belief $4,000
a year was quite enough for boy of
ten, while In the matter OF Miss Laden
burg II was asserted by another sur
rogate that $4,000 a year would buy all
the education. clothing. housing and

quire until she is twenty-one. After
that time she will be her own mistress.

bringing up OF young Dickinson. OF

two chlldren-sixteen and ten--must

even boy Of sixteen would not cost
as much as a girl of the same age.
In his case there is less tutoring in
accomplishments" and the cost of
attendance on his young millionaire
ship amounts to considerably less.
Any healthy happy boy of sixteen
would object to the amount of at
tendance which his sister of the same
age would find merely delightful in
stead OF annoying. His clothing comes
TO much less in the course of year
also. although the person with an ordi-
nary income would find 1t quite In
possible to pay the pricec demanded
for the clothing of even young boyp by
fashionable New York tailor3. The
difference In the amount of cloth re-
quired for a young boys suit and that
used in his fathers garments does not
mean n proportlonate reduction in the
amount of the tailors bill. His sport

then, so do his sisters riding habits
and other outdoor costumes.

ca are unrepresented In the generation
which is now growing up. The pictures

edifice They tramp about noisily and
indifferently and have even gone so
far as to address their picture post
cards on the altar rail. Because of
this careless behavior the trustees are
considering the advisability OF clos
ing the church during certain hours
and exacting a fee from all visitors.
1t is entirely probable that such
reprehensible and offensive behavior
Is largely due to the fact that the
tourists forget the amenities Of civil
ization in the mad rush of sightseeing.
At home they would never dream of
thus violating the proprieties. Their
carelessness abroad is abetted largely
by the further fact that they are per-
sonally conducted and cheerfully place
all responsibilities on the guide, who
may be supposed to know all the re-
quirements.
A party Of Americans recently visit
ed the church of st. Anne de Baupre.
To most of them it seemed almost au-
dacious to pass up that great aisle Of
the porphyry pillars and thread their
way among the devotees. But their
guide was a clerical attache of the
shrine and they knew he would lead
them Alright.
But there can be no satisfactory ex-
cuse for such rudeness as the officials
of st. PauPs and the Stratford church
have noted. Let 1T be hoped that when
the offense is pointed out other tour
lists will take heed and amend their
thoughtless ways.
