An Original Use of Trophies.

nothing is insignificant that makes the
most original and striking use of iro-
phies. TO her almost any object capable
of awakening memory or with the power

TITLED FORTUNE HUNTERS
MEET FROSTY RECEPTION
ny MARGARET WATTS DE FaYsTER.

New York, May S.-(Special. )-Prince
Francesca Del Drago, son of queen
Maria Christina of Spain. self-confessed
fortune-hunter. who has come to America
in search of a rich wife. will be met with
a frosty reception, as has been made evil
dent by the action of three of Americas
richest heiresses in choosing husbands on
this side of the water.
And that is not all. The mothers of
number OF well-known young American
heresses and some of the heiresses them
selves, have formed a compact. the OBJ
5ect of which is to give the cold shoulder
to penniless foreign noblemen. The Co
lonial club, the most exclusive womens
club in America, has been the seat of
much gossip in the past few weeks over
the understanding effected by which rich
American girls will be persuaded to take
American husbands instead of titles.
The marriage of Miss Marjorie Gould to
Anthony j. DreXel, Jr, caused a lifting
of aristooratic eyebrows, but at that time
the "Club for the Advancement of An,Sr-
lean Husbands" had not been perfected.
The GOuld-Drexe marriage was really
responsible for it. Next came the an
nouncement Of Miss Mathilde Townsends
engagement to Peter Gerry, and in view
of the fact that Miss Townsend had been
courted by score Of titled foreigners, it
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-05-09

began to be evident that quotations on
titles were below par. Then came the first
step in the formation of this society, and
now comes the engagement of Miss Mary
Hartman to c. c. Rumsey of Buffalo.
Miss Hartman. Miss Townsend and
Miss Gould constituted a trio of the rich
est and most beautiful girls in American
aristocracy.
Such women as Mrs. E. II. Hartman,
Miss Helen Gould and Miss Annie Morgan
are the prime movers in the Colonial club
organization, which has for it's principal
object the urging of American husbands
for American girls.
OF course it must be understood that
this club of which I speak is not an or
ganization drawn up with n charter and
bylaws and officers and all that sort
of thing 1t Is a mutual understanding
and sympathetic bond by which girls
will be advised-that Is, rich grls-to ac-
cept the hands and fortunes of American
men.
If these atruistic women could have
their way the time would soon be here
when young American millionaires would
quit marrying chorus girls after wine
suppers and young American heiresses
would cease marrying foreign titles in
consideration for a sum sufficient to pay
the noblemans obligations.

Miguel of Braganza, who married Miss

IRISHMEN' REGRET
DEATH OF THE KING

Dublin, May S.-(Special0-In response
to the request of the International News
Service for an official expression on the
death of King Edward, the lord mayor
of Dublin wrote the following:
Our friends in America should know
the state of the Irish feelings at this
tuncture-it is one of a genuine feeling
of regret by all classes and creeds
throughout Ireland. Edward was a good
friend TO ireland and Irish interests. He
endeared himself to the hearts of the
Irish people by his genuine good will
toward us. I speak as Catholic and as
nationalist

cent kilograms of coincidence to King
George and the Dowager Queen Alexan-
dra special corporation meeting has
been summoned to pass vote of SYM
psthv. All this is in marked contrast TO
the feeling evidenced at Queen Victoria
death. Then the feeling was very strong
against any display of sympathy, and
several public bodies refused votes of
condolences. All race meetings and out
door sports have been abandoned The
window blinds are up all over the city
enc suburbs.
