ow furnished Titles Snare Rich American
Widows---Py An Heiress Who Escaped

CHICAGO, July 19.-One rich
merican widow has escaped the
tiled fortune hunters of Europe.

Whole heart. she says-although
here is a certain Russian noble
nan who might, etc.
Anyhow, Mrs. Dean tells how
.er fair self and her superlatively
fair fortune-several millions
we're hunted in Europe.
1T is astonishing how brazenly
IN eligible American woman with
money Is pursued over there"
says Mrs. Dean.
II had scarcely landed in Lon
'on when | received letters from
several matrimonial agencies, Of
fering to introduce me to these
poor but honest titles. Here's an
extract from one agents conf
dentiaP letter to me, telling how
he gets in touch with the mascu-
line part of the sketch:
II l want to get hold of
peer or titled man, al
ways get them through the
smaller clubs and l am intro
duced to the peer by my right
name. which is not the one
l sign to this letter. In the
same way l get hold of a So
ciety gentleman or military
officers. If this is the reason
you have not been to see me,
l shall be pleased to come
around and see you. Our
clients desiring private nego-
tiatfons have to pay so
guineas (s25O) half down
and half on engagement
We'll, answered some of
these agents, just for the fun of
1t, but I got all the information
l wanted and still kept my SO
guineas.
Foreign fortune hunters make
no pretense of wooing. 1t is so
evident they are after the money
that it is really ridiculous.
"One count told me all about
his family, his ambitions, etc.
When / asked him why he was
disclosing his private affairs to
me, he was frankness itself. He
said he wanted an American wife
because American women repre-
sented his ideal of intellectually
and diplomacy, and he thought
was ambitious. He talked with
out embarrassment of matrimony
as business proposition.
And that seems to be the uni
versal attitude over there"

Helpful Hints for Girls and Women

Dear Miss Grey:
II an inexperienced" girl of
! s accepts a proposal of marriage
from young man of 90, and he
rails to procure an engagement
ring. and never mentions IL,
should she consider herself en-
gagged to him2 Do you think 1t
merely ignorance on his part, or
insincerity? He seems very at
tentive. BROWN EYES.
A: Don't worry about the
engagement ring. It's pretty
sentiment to give IT. but maybe
your fianee is saving all his
money toward the household ex-
penses to come. When you are
married you'll find that furniture
and kitchen utensils are much
more necessary to your happiness
than the ring. 1t may be that he
doesn't know of the custom. Most
men are thoughtless about small
things. And it's always the case
that the girl thinks more about
the engagement ring than the
man.

REVOLUTIONARY IN PRICE

In trying to estimate the value in
money! totally distinct conception
from its value in use, which is immeas-
urable-of the new 18th Edition, one
labors under the fundamental dlsad-
vantage that there exists no book which
covers the same field, and to which it can
be adequately compared.
Taking, however, the 9th Edition as
a Standard and comparing the price,
$3.50 a volume, at which that edition
was sold, the 18th Edition, with all its
improvements in information and ar
rangement, must clearly be cheap at its
present price of Sd. 90 volume.
Another line of thoug hit leading to
kind of comparative estimate is afforded
bv the market value of the writings of
the experts who wrote the articles.
Judged by the amount of printed matter
they contain the % volumes of the tn
Edition are equivalent to three or four
hundred volumes of the length to which
technical works usually run. The reader
will, therefore, readily perceive that any
computation on this basis would make
the 18th Edition worth many times the
price which the publishers are, at the
present time, asking for it.
Still last estimate = and perhaps
the most convincing = is possible. If
there were only one copy of the Ency-
clopaedia Britannica in existence the
advantage its possession would confer
would be almost priceless. Is this adj
vantage in any way lessened, is its
money equivalent in any respect depre-
ciated by the fact that the usefulness of
the work to mankind has been multi
piled thousands of times by bringing it
within the means of every one to buy?

the opinion today that Congress probably
would withhold action TO see how the
trusts act under the Standard Oil deci-

to let the trusts make the first move I'M

cue therefrom for its further action.
