How shall a widow choose-love or
money? Already there have been all
sorts Of discussions regarding the
wills of some of the Titanic million
aires who died that their wives might
live. Colonel John Jacob Aston left
the vast bulk Of his 800. 900 to hia
son Vincent and 100000 to his beau
tiful young widow, Madeline Force
that was. But it is not to be hers IN
case she marries again. William AL
gusfks Spencer. another millionaire
wh4Ahied with Colonel Aston, left the
bulk Of his fortune to his widow, Ma
RE Eugenia Spencer. unless she re
marries. Then her income is cut to
$4,000 a year.
What will they dot Nobody knows
Only the other day Mrs. James A. Gar.
land, Jr., heiress to the income OF $1O,.
100000 left by her husband. answered
the question in her way. She married,
despite the proviso Of the will that she
loses the income of every penny OF 1t
should she find another husband. And
only last autumn Mrs. Mary Corling
Dunlop, widow of the late David Dun
Top, ST., gave up the income OF 81
100000 to marry Archibald M. McCrea,
cutting down her portion to the trifling
income Of $4,000.
But let Mrs. Garland of New York
and Boston tell how she solved her
problem-she gave up her $4,000. 900.

Today she is OF honeymooning with
her new love, Francis Cushing Green,
for whom she gave up her princely for
tune. And let it be said here that
though Mr.. Green is a prosperous law
yer he has nothing like the wealth
which James A. Garland willed to his
widow less than six years ago-willed
with the proviso that should she ever
marry again the income Of the $lO,-
100000 should go to his three elder
sons and at their deaths to Harvard
university.
mo, money isn't everything" re
peaAed Mrs. Garland-it was on her
wedltng eve. Certainly. I'm marry
ing for love. And love-oh. it's every
thing-or nearly SO. Besides" she add
ed as an afterthought, "he has enough
for US both. Do you know, we are
going to be farmers and live down on
Cape Cod. We're going to lead the
simple life.
And what's to become of the $1O,-
100000? Oh, that will remain in the
family, guess. My three boys-James'
Hamilton and Charles-will have the
income Of 1t, all right. My fourth boy,
Tudor, has already been provided for
by his grandfather. and so has my lit
tie daughter, Hope. No. Harvard won't
get the money yet awhile"
And pretty Mrs. Garland, DO soon to
be Mrs. Green and million-less,
laughed long and merrily. To look into
her dancing eyes and to see the proud
smile of love mantle her well-molded
features whenever Mr.. Green's name
was mentioned, no one would have
thought that she was giving up with

unmarried. Mrs. Green gives up twice
as much.
