indeed,
Some time the young man and the
young woman, too, really will be serious
and IL they do not object to the publicity
there is nothing more to be said. But for
the many others, who are just friends
and nothing more-well, why doesn't the
public let them alone?
Just in passing, unless it happens that
this young man and others like him are
made of pretty good material and pos
sessed with an abundance OF good, COM
mon sense they are likely to be pretty
nearly spoiled before they join the bene-
dict class. And the spelling process will
go right on to the end Of their days
For when there IL no limit to the
money, there is an abundance of defer
ence, too. and in the superiority Of bow
ing and attention II is easy to lose ones
head and to think It all comes by right
divine
Wrong Standard.
Sometimes when we read of the ridicu-
Ious display of homage that goes to titled
folk over the sea, the kings, the queens,
and their close followers. we wonder that
more of them are not lost in a complete
maze OF self. And here at home there Is
a great deal OF bowling to money, q won
derfuI showing of respect, and q hint Of
affection. too.
The other day the New York papers
told of the experience Of a woman, ia
nous for nothing in particular but her
money, and It gave to plain folk an ap-
probation of the easy road to self-Im-
por ance, sometimes followed by the very
wealthy.
She had been an interested listener at
one OF the big political meetings prior
to election, and as she hurried from her
box to take her waiting automobile, the
crowds grew so dense that she was
pushed and jostled with the rest" And
though she was forced to mingle with
the great multitudes, the newspapers de-
clared that she remained good-natured
quite democratic in her manner and even
enjoyed the novelty, telling her friends
about it as one Of the interesting things
that happen once in a while.
Overestimate Likely.
She is qute young, has not long been
multi-milli onaire, and unless she IL
clear in mind and well poised in the
way she reckons values, 1t will not be
so very strange II she over-measures the
niche she holds In the world.
The fact Is, the possession of millions,
many times over, is as likely to mar as
to make their owner.
And sometimes when the dollars are
not counted in the millions, folk are not
sweetened. broadened and deepened, lust
because the money grows, for the def
erence and all the power they have make
them conceited, overbearing and dis
agreeable and they look for homage all
the while.
And others beautifully stand the test

Too Much BOwing to Money.
BY FRANCES sHAFFER.

One is beginning to hope that the
richest young man in America, will
soon decide to share his many millions
with one Of the numerous young women
who have been said to be very pleasing
in his sight or with one yet TO cross
his horizon. Because, meanwhile. the
notoriety and all the newspapers COM
ment must be extremely offensive TO
them, as they pass in seeming review
before him, one by one
In reality. he is probably just like any
other normal young man. who finds all
fair women right attractive and who
likes to bestow his attentions where his
fancy dictates. And each of the young
women, no doubt, accepts them in the
simple spirit that prevails almost the
world over, without any hopes and
prayers that she may be chosen and
that the wedding bells may ring right
soon.

and the fortune Of this heir TO a hun
bred millions.
From the moment the vast fortune
passed into his hands. the ordinary pub
lie and the social world itself have per-
sisted in enumerating every charm and
every accomplishment of the young
women at whom he has looked twice.
One is described as beautifully gown

is the daughter of the Hon. Mr.. and
Mrs. So-and-so, and of course, has the
entree to the very best circles. They

as he has so many millions. the public
grows quite curious. and her picture is
published. along with the Query-WilI il
be she? 1t isn't, because II was nothing
but a case of passing friendship. each
for the other-but when it is all over,
how does she feel about the speculation,
the comment and the inventory OF her
charms?
Then he is attracted to somebody else,
as every one expects him to be, and there
is the same mass of wonderment and the
same marshaling Of points in her favor,
for the world and all as If she were de-
liberately in the race to win this heir to
the vastest fortune" If that might be
her luck.
Let Them Alone.
And as they come and go they are
treated to the same unwarranted pub
licity, as If they, their choice and their
will in the matter were very secondary

Used for Bags.

Bags OF every sort and descriptions
are all the rage. and what material Is
more appropriate than this for their
creation? Opera bags are charming when
caught at the top with heavy cords

work bags with large Jade rings. for
handles. Trays, too, are much in vogue,

for their decorative qualities. and squares

satin woods, with furnished silver handles

combine these compelling tones with dull,
neutral suede. Small bits Of the embroid-

or conventional designs
Ordinarily, japanese embroidery Is
something Of a luxury. but often one Is
fortunate In being able to pick them up
at sales or old shops when they have
few on hand. But one must cultivate the
eye to recognize the good things no mat
ter where they may be hidden away. and
to know how to utilize them to the best
advantage.
