Miss Elizabeth Leona Garmong, being de. prived of the love and society of man who forgot to keep his promises to marry her, was awarded by Maine court monetary substitute in the form of $116,000. John Brooks Hender- son, Jr., son of the multimillionaire Senator from Missouri, was adjudged by the courts to be worth that Much less than the two millions at which Miss Louise Lynch, daughter of Mrs. Jasper Lynch, rated her spouse. But tidy sum on which maid might sit amidst the ashes of her life and try to mend her broken heart
 The Baroness Ursula Barbcra Kalinowsky thought that Michael J. Hurley of St. Louis, was worth quarter of a million dollars to her. cruel judge faced by 76,000 words of testi- mony, but missing the presence of the Baroness, dismissed the case. On the other hand, in suit by Miss Daisy Markham n the courts of London, asking for money equivalent of her missing Marquis of Northampton, the temper of the court was so manifestly sympathetic that the trial ended upon the Marquiss promise to render the money equivalent out of court. The Marquis agreed with his former betrothed's estimate of his worth. For he paid the full quarter-mllion \dollars. Yet the testimon.- of Mrs. T. c. Sullivan and Mrs. Tudor Garland Green proves that women place higher rating upon men than courts e.

$lO GOO 900 for Second Husband-and Then Lost Him To

< y who hover on the brink of decision " between a full heart and a full purse = pause and reflect upon the story of Mrs. Marie Tudor-Garland-Green.
 A part of her name starts your mind back upon the trail of school days and crams and English history. Quite right. The law of as socation of ideas is again demonstrated The grande dame of the multiple names is indeed descendant of kings, those kings who changed their minds and hearts with equal celerity, and who, when they tired of their mates, chopped off their heads and cried with arms extended Next" Yes, Mrs. udor-GarlandGreen was a neal descendant of the capricious ones. When she had married that ten-million-dolar matri- monal prize of Boston, Jimmy Garland, the bridegroom himself decided that his wife had inherited the family characteristics.
 She was very beautiful and she loved admira- tion. Has not admiration been the birthright of beautiful women ever since Eve encountered the admiring gaze of the serpent? But Jimmy Garland proved himself unreasonable, his wife thought. In heated moments she even compared him with the Sultan of Turkey and with that person of reprehensble practices, Blue Beard
 They carried their quarrels to the courts The courts. believing the quarrels could never be

made up, bade them go their several ways. And so they did, but found their different ways so lonely and unsatisfying that they arranged at least Mrs. Garland so arranged-that their ways should cross again To be seen with Mrs Garland was to conquer. The divorced pair re- married and lived together again. to all ap- pearances happily, until Mr. Garland's death.
 That gentleman's will proved that he had re- membered his wife's allurng beauty, likewise dts power to attract all men, also the Tudor capriciousness and his bangs because of it. Therefore MT. Garland had constructed a will and these were it's terms:
 Mrs Garland was to have all interest and emouments accruing from the ten millions so long as she lived unless-mark that which fol lows the 'useless''-she married again. In which event, the unacceptable document said, "all pay ments shall cease"
 For six years Mrs. Garland mourned her Jimmy becomingly, first in black suitably som- bre, then black frightened by touches of white, then with black and white about equally com mingled purpletouched black. and for a long time purple of the most regal shade. Finally the purple was frightened by gray and then cutter MT Francis Cushing Green.
 MT. Green was favorite in New York society and civil engineer He certainly had way hv ha ifai iob,

about him." That "way" Mrs. Tudor Garland found irresistible, SO completely irresistible in truth, that the interest and all emoluments of the Garland ten millions faded to the vanishing point beside them. They were married at Day End Farm where the bride had mourned for six years. The mourning being changed to feastng, they sailed to Europe
 They remained in Europe for several years While they had set forth to that bourne of honeymooners togther it was startling to see Mr. Green return alone. He resumed life in New York. He said little of his wife,
 But Mrs. Green had something to say of him. She said 1t after her return, also alone. Her opinion of him was set forth in legal phrase ology, prepared for the court at Barnstable, Mass. She charged that he had been unfaithful to her, and asked that she be released from a union that had become galling to her.
 Vanished the ten millions Lost the husband. Lost s10,000,O00 staked for love- and love lost, too.
 What is> a man worth, if anything, to a woman?
 The courts have established a precedent in this respect. When women come to them with hearts bleeding, crushed broken, according to the more or less advanced stage of the affec- tions, the courts set value, or no value on the man.

TS any man worth two million dollars? | If, as the calm, cool Emerson says ~ "A r11ddv drnn of manly hlnnd

Y S any man worth two million dollars? If, as the calm, cool Emerson says "A "A ruddy drop of manly blood
 The surging sea outweghs," then surely the entire man could outweigh two million dollars, in the form of silver cart wheels.
 Is a man worth two millions to any woman?
 Why, certainly. Of course, men may be worth two millions for two months And then something is apt to happen. The scales may begin to tremble, stop. tremble again, pause, and then, with head Jumping rush, the man plate goes up, up, and the money plate, with the golden lustered millions comes down, down-myi
 Whether the fault lies with the man, the scales or the hand that holds the scales, de- ponent saith not, but this is not an unusual happening
 Now, speaking of the money value of men at once brings to mind the pretty Lakewood lasse whose "All for love and millions well lost" pose is so charmingly unconvncing.
 She is talking right through her best hat, and at the same time, showing once more the born Americans love of buffng and the young, upto-date society girls curious craving for the admiration of profanum vulgus and for general public notice in print.
 This modern Juliet, brushing aside the large inheritance, cries with dramatic fervor;
 Love is supreme.' And so it is-as long as there's money enough to keep it so.
 But this Juliet is soo convincing. She is so secure anent both mammals pardon and the inheritance that she finds it hard to keep her pretty lace straight ana assume a nlgn, sell sacrificing air The lovers, in making this madly exciting elopement, probably fol lowing the line of lease resistance from mamma. But when she declaims Love is supreme" if betting certainty were not forbidden, I'd wager a big something against very small something else that if ever that twomilon in- heritance is withheld we shall our Lakewood Juliet, in spite of loves supremacy, marching into court, followed by full battery of great legal guns, ready to fight for each and every one of those precious two million dollars, be- cause Love is supreme but not always en- during.
 Perhaps this reckless and desperate eope- ment is after all. best explained by sentimental Moore, who says:
 When once the young heart of a maiden is
 stolen.
 The maiden herself will steal after it
 soon.'
 Wise guys those poets. aren't they? 4
 But, is any worth two millions?" E

question, and really it can't be answered categorically without qualification, soft pedal or brake. Of course girl in the brief, divine madness of young love, with eyes just opened to the worlds won drous beauty, primal, fresh, or when God pronounced 1t good and from the purple and silver nights, the golden = mists and rosy light of day, concludes heaven and earth to be interchangeable
 terms she in that condition of mind would cast away million as readily as an olive pit. But the man who would urge girl to such action must be a monster of selfshness and vanity, and by his act is marked down in price to the irreducible fraction of dollar.
 And yet, and yet, have faith to believe there may be few-oh, very few-men extant, worth such a price even--two million. Though I'd rather take the job of locating poor Charley Ross, or that fountain of eternal youth rather than search for those worthy gentlemen. There is woman in Pennsylvania who paid one million for her husband, and five years later listen-fve years later Ne had not repented. l saw him. already little L ent, tired lines about the eyes that still twinkled laughter before 1t sounded from his lips.
 This man and his Laura had made the tender est kind of love match. Time came when there were four children. Their home was their own, but was very modest. The real trouble of her life was the endless straining, till her eyes fairly bulged, to make two inelastic ends meet. Then 10! An ancient maiden great aunt-a man-hater from her cradle, offered to leave to great niece Laura something over one million dollars conditional upon her leaving her hus- band and resuming her maiden name-the chill dren she might keep with her.
 The man bravely advised acceptance. T shall have the memory of our early love, of the fears and hopes and joys that to with each new life. Our love has lived, but, dear, l can't free you from anxieties, I cant feed your beauty-starved soul. This will mean com fort, music, art, travel, and, oh, my dear, think what educations for the children"
 And after that he argued no more. Laura to decide, but automobiles were a great novelty then and he hired one and sent his brood for drive, spelling it all by leaving himself out In other ways, he tried to make them under stand what that money might mean to them, but without himself.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-07-11

Two weeks she had for thought, and over against the many joys that million could provide, she set daily, never wearying companionship, understanding sympathy, ready protection and in truths truth, love-
 The hour came The husband returned from the office with white, tired face. Laura pushed him into a chair. The children want to see A little group appeared in the door The eldest boy came over, and in red embarrassment thrust out boyish hand, saying
 "I-we-all of us want you Dad We want you a heap more than anything else in the world"
