son the ~so-called gilded youth of this
country are continually getting into
trouble is that their parents give them
ten times as much money as they
need. If they were put to work and
forced to earn thenr own money they
would be far better off-and / should
probably have much less to do.
"cut Of Supply of Cash."
of course there is another side to
this. There r schemers who make
a business Of preying on the O n of
rich men. They try to involve them
In all sorts of difficulties. lAnd Of
course there are adventuresses who
seek to trap the gilded youth. A young
man sometimes becomes involved
quite i~nnocently, but no matter how it
has happened or what difficulties he
may be in, the first thing to do is to
cut off his supply of cash. That will
bring him to his senses more quickly
than anything else, and unless he has
committed a felony he can then be ex-
treated from his difficulties and put
on his feet.
"Blackmailers are to be found every
where, and every year they get scores
of rich young men into their clutches.
Especially If the rich young man is
married he is threatened with ex.
posture. Our rich young men have a
habit Of being indiscreet-especially
when they go to New York-and black
mailers are always in readiness to get
something on them My advice to
them is never to pay a cent of black
mail no matter how badly they may be
involved. 1t is better to risk exposure
first as last, for IL blackmail be paid
once the payment has to be repeated
as often as the blackmailers wish.
Blackmailers can frequently be bluffed.
They are usually men or women of I'M
sayory reputation and they are always
afraid Of exposure. When they find
a man won't give up they disappear
nine times out of ten. Never pay a
cent of blackmail under any circurn-
stances. You are lost If you give a
single penny, for tomorrow you will
have to give more.
