RENTING OUT THE NOBILITY
Queer Business at Which English so-
eisty Women Are Said to Make
Much Money. J

Most men are too busy to 60 to aft
ernoon tea parties. even If they have
the Inclination. But men are in de-
mand creates a supply.
A lady has been explaining to the
London Daily Mirror how women Of
good social standing earn lucrative
fees by providing male guests for
these afternoon functions. These la
dies make better business of 1t than
the regular agents who occasionally
supply "a fourteenth" to a hostess
who does not wish her guests to sit
down thirteen at dinner, or from time
to time fill up house party in some
out-of-the-way part of the country
when guest has suddenly fallen out
In these cases the hired guests re-
ceive good fee. But the London aft
ernoon tea guests get no pay and do
not know that they are being hired.
AS rule. it is said, they are impe-
cunious young continen, Il men who
would rather look for an heiress than
for work.

site. A lady bearing one of the Oldest
titles in the country. perhaps, invites
them to her house, pretends to be
greatly taken with them and offers
to launch them in London Society"
Then she cheerfully takes them to all
the select afternoon tea parties she
attends and they find themselves over
whelmed with invitations to similar
functions. Little do the men suspect
that every time they go to a party
their woman friend receives a certain
sum of money from the hostess.
Here is the scale of charges for
guests actually issued by countess:
One marquis. $3.50; one baron, $5.25:
one duke, $40; one duchess, SIS.
Just a few days ago a Russian mo-
blewoman visiting London was giving
reception in the afternoon, and you
can imagine how terribly shocked and
annoyed she was when an English
duchess wrote to her offering to sup
ply ten young men and the same num-
Der of women, all bearing titles. as
guests for the sum of SO guineas.
Young Englishmen, the younger
sons of lords and the like, have been
imposed upon as well as foreigners by
these guest providers"

THE HIGHEST

Every state in America will per-

of the worlds greatest universities,

Rhodes, who, though, he died at the
early age of forty years, left for
tune of over s250,O0O, 900, then the
greatest in the world and every
dime of which was made out of min
| ing investments.
Cecil Rhodes said: II speak adj
Ivisedly, and say what every man who
has Investigated knows to be the
/ truth, that less money is lost, pro-
portionately, in mining than in any
other business in the world, while
| larger fortunes are made in mining
and in the investment of mining
Istocks than any other business or in
Ivestment on earth. A good mining
stock will pay the investor more
easily 20, 30, 40 and a hundred pei
cent. annually than municipal bonds
can pay 5 per cent. Money invested
in good mining stock is safer than
in any mortgage, railroad, municipal
or government bond ADV. 1t
