Should We Be Happy If Rich?
BY JEAN ROBERTS

The misadventure OF certain ex-
tremely rich young woman at we'll
known Southern seaside resort has re-
Gently excited some amusement in So
ciety. She was trying a little plan
she had long cogitated upon, it ap-
pears. We are accustomed In stories
to the woman or man of no means at
all who figures at the seaside as a
lord or duchess and reveis for short
time In the glory OF false plumes
This young womans idea was exactly
the opposite. She went to the seaside
with a woman companion to play the
part of a poor girl of mo import
ance."
The scheme was working beauti-
fully, when a most disquieting rumor
WAS whispered to the manager of the
hotel. The nice young woman. he was
informed, was in possession of GER
tain articles belonging to an heress
of considerable rank! How did she
come by them? Was she an adven-
turess? Had she laid wicked hands
on them? Sharp brains were sum-
moned to concentrate themselves on
solving the mystery. All the inquirers
ess had disappeared, and no one knew
where she was Had the girl at the
hotel robbed--perhaps murdered-her?
In the end she had to confess she
was herself the heiress. She explained
she had become so tired of people pay
Ing her attentions because of her
riches. that she had resolved to try
just a few months of the delight of
being poor girl.
1t is clear that this young woman
has not found riches an unmixed
blessing. There has been a fly in the
ointment-perhaps many flies. Most
of us have probably set ourselves to
work at times to fmagin. now W
should enjoy life on forty. thirty, even
ten thousand dollars year. We
should take care, we hatter ourselves,
there were no flies In our ointme I.
But all the wealthy people know as
sure me that money is far from mean
