During the recent international avia-

was considerable talk of a love match
between Claude Grahame- White. the
famous English fiier 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 1t after the close
of the meeting. However, Miss Chase
accompanied Mr.. White as q passenger
on one of his very numerous trips over
the Belmont park field. That may not
have signif1ed much, however. for he
had also as a passenger Miss Eleanor
Sears, the young society woman of
Boston who goes in" for aviation as

Whether aviation encourages or dis

Eugene Marie Ladenburg, who is to
have only $4,000 a year instead of the
$4,000 asked for by her mother. is the
daughter of Mrs. Emily Ladenburg,
probably the best known widow in New
York's smart set. Her husband, Adolph
Ladenburg, head of a great banking
firm, disappeared from an ocean liner
fifteen years ago. 1t is believed that
he was washed overheard from the
vessel during a hurricane. One of his
last acts was the sending of cable
message (this was before the days of
the wireless), congratulating his little
daughter on her first birthday. He
left several millions to his wife and an
annual income of $4,000 to his daugh-
ter, but the amount of money to be
spent on the young lady is subject to
the discretion of the surrogate; hence
the recent legal proceedings.
In her petition to the court Mrs. La
denburg declared that it would cost
her daughter hereafter $1,000 a year
for gowns and other clothing, $1,000 for
hotel expenses for ten months, $4,000
to maintain an automobile for her own
use, $1,000 to keep up her home in
Westbury, n. Y, during her absence,

lTY the poor rich!
Not the moderately rich
mind you, whose wealth runs
up to se.s99.s9s 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 Eugene Marie
Ladenburg, sixteen years old, whose
mother sought permission to spend be-
tween $4,000 and SIT, 900 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 @4Cohalan of New
York fntimated that in his belief $4,000
a year was quite. enough for a boy Of
ten, while in the matter of Miss Laden
burg 1t was asserted by another sur
rogate that $4,000 a year would buy all
the education, clothing, housing and
bringing up the young lady would re-
quire until she Is twenty one. After
that time she will be her own mistress,
with liberty to spend as much of her
fortune, principal and interest, as she
pleases.

Miss Ladenburg's standing and the
$1,000 a year declared SUFFICIENT for the
bringing up of young Dickinson. OF
course the difference in the ages of the
two children-sixteen and ten-must
be taken into account also. But, then,
even a boy Of sixteen would not cost
as much as a girl of the same age,
In his case there Is less tutoring in

attendance on his young millionaire

Any healthy, happy boy of sixteen
would object to the amount of at

age would find merely delightful in

to much less in the course of a year

ing out" was to be left in Europe.
Mrs. Ladenburg is DESTROYS of sending
her daughter to England and the con-
tinent to have the finishing touches
put on her education. The young lady
must have from two to four years
abroad, varied with occasional return
trips to her native country IL special
events or her inclinations tend to draw
her here from abroad. OF course there
must be maids and governesses and
hotel bills on the other side and, it
may be, establishments of her own in
London and Paris. Then there are the
costs of music, dancing, painting and
language lessons under the best mas
ters and one or more grand tours OF
the continent and perhaps of the world
in order to enable the young lady to
talk intelligently of the various places
which every one visits.
Mrs. Ladenburg's estimate Of the
cost of rearing her daughter is not
considered excessive. Indeed. 1t falls
far below the amounts known to be ex-
pended in other cases. Mrs. Ava WILL
ing Aston, divorced wife Of John Jacob
Astor, spends about $4,000 a year on
her ten-year- daughter Muriel, and
the two daughters of Frank Jay Gould
Helen and Dorothy, whose pictures
are shown in the illustration, cost
about $4,000 a year each.
Boys Don't Cost So Much.
Naturally a young boys rearing in
society does not call for the expendi-
ture of 50 much money as that of q
girl. Perhaps the difference is well
represented in the ratio of $4,000 a year

They Differ With Carnegie.
The two cases, occurring at about the
same time, have brought to the fore
again the interesting question of the
cost of rearing a child born to possess
money in large quantities. However

negie's recent dictum that it is better
to be born the son of q, poor man than

Now we are willing to be charitable
for the Governors sake. We fully
understand the pressure that has
been brought to bear for the appoint
ment of Mr.. Prince. Ever since the
Poland man became Governor, and
ever since the day when a little CO.

wondering what plum would fall into

trust should forget his obligations tc

pay personal obligation by appoint

We state again that we believe the
Governor will look upon this matter
i a sensible way, will withdraw the
nomination at once, and thereby
strengthen his reputation, which is
uone too strong, for good judgment
and square political dealing.
