good citizens cannot give TO matters

significance. II seems a strangely
inconsistent sort Of procedure on the

measure of devotion TO their com

gentlemen viii eXpend any amount Of
time and energy in securing some
factional advantage or partisan vic
tory, while declining utterly to give OF
their counsel or their cooperation to
the solution of problems which are
Of the highest public interest. How
they will strive for the things that
are rather inconsequential. and how
they will ignore the things that are
most worth while. And. that, we
say. IS passing strange. on the part

Introduction. But such cases are lew
and far between.
What causes the business OF the So
ciety marriage broker to be looked down
upon is the fact that usually society
matrimonial agents work in secret They
are received at the best houses. and their
hostesses, all unsuspectingly. are made
catspaws TO secure introductions be-
tween desirable parties Needless 10
say in ease like this there is always
one victim, for either the man OF tho
girl is drawn into the match unsuspect,
inglv, little thinking that the person
who brought about the introduction may
derive lifelong income as the result
Sums of f2O000 and more have been
known to change hands as commission
IN this way.
OFTEN the society marriage broker"
sets his bait by advertising in one or
two OF the exclusive society papers.
As rule, such insertions are shrewdly
disguised in most cases taking the form
of tempting offers of employment" for
lmpecunious gentlemen of high birth.
In this way an interview is arranged,
and IN the most artful manner possible
the proposel is put forward to provide
the applicant with a wealthy bride IN
return for heavy commission after
the wedding shall have been duly sol
emnizcd In many cases the impecuni-
ous gentleman falls in with the scheme.
Should he not do so. however, a prom
ise of strict secrecy usually is extorted.
and the marriage broker sets about at
tracing some more willing Ssh into his
net.
Too often the society marriage
broker is a member of the fair sex. In
this case few manage TO escape from
her sohemng, for in arranging matches
that viii ensure a substantial balance
af her bankers. woman Is much more
unacrupulous thansa man.
Needless TO say. if society hostess
knew OF whom she entertains among
her guests. the society marriage broker
would find it very difficult to make
living, for no woman likes to admit.

women in her house parties who are
