VERY RICH NEVER GENEROUS
They May Give Away Their Money.
bri Never Themselves. Says
G. K. Chesterton.

There are two other odd and rather
important things to be said about
them The first is this: That with
this aristocracy we do not nave the
chance of lucky variety In types
which belongs to larger and looser
arisiccracies, The moderately rich
include all kinds Of people-even
good people. Even priests are some
times saints; and even soldiers are
sometimes heroes Some doctors have
really grown wealthy by curing their
patients and not by flattering them;
some brewers have been known to
sell beer But among the very rich
you will never find really generous
man. even by accident. They may
give their money away. but they will
never give themselves away: they are
egotistic. secretive. dry IS old bones
To be smart enough to get all that
money. you must be dull enough to
want II.
Lastly. the most serious point about
them is this That the new mlser is
fiatterser for bis. meanness and -
old one never was. 1t was never
called self-denial in the old miser that
ne lived on beans 1t is called self.
denial in the new millionaire II he
lives on beans. A man like Dancer
was never praise as a Christian
saint for going in rags. A man like
Rockefeller is praised as a sort Of
pagan stole for his early rising or his
unassuming dress. His simple"
meals. his simple" clothes. his
simple" funeral. are all extolled as
II they were creditable him. They
are disgraceful to him. exactly as dis,
graceful as the latter: and vermin OF
the old miser were disgraceful to him.
To be in rags for charity would be the
condition of a saint; to be in rags
for money was that Of a filthy old
fool. Precisely In the same way. to
be simple" for charity is the state
OF saint; to be simple" for money
Is that of filthy old fool OF the two
