 increase steadily in value. The
 future $400,000,O00 principal of Mar
 shall Field, 3d, therefore, probably is under, rather than over estimated. At the time of his grandfather's death his share set aside to accumulate was $50,000,000, out of a total of about $150,000,000. After the future of the two other children had been cared for in the same way, there re- mained a surplus for their mainte- nance and use prior to the time of the estates final division.
 Last October the heirs made a de- mand upon the Probate Court in Chi cago for shares of the estate then due them under the will, which their mother, in her final accounting on Marshall Field, 3d, coming of age, placed at $325,00O for the principal heir. The amount of yearly income which will be at the young mans dis posal up to the time that his full share is handed over to him is not known. but it will certainly be a handsome sum, probably greater than that of any other young Ameri. can.

This was matter for the trustees to in. terpret. Three years ago their mother came to this country to try to placate the trustees and gain tnelr consent to the children's con. tinued residence abroad, where they were attending school.
 They can come to America later to live, if they wish,'' she said q can assure you that the boys are being brought up as gentlemen
 Yes; as English gentlemen" re- marked one of the trustees, dryly.
 American men brought up in Eng. land are never satisfactory American citizens" said another of the trus. tees. Whereupon he read the follow. ing clause from the will:
 ''T deslre my grandsons, Marshall and Henry, to be educated in Amer ican schools and to enter American business life."
 We cannot pay Marshall Fielus money to English schoolmasters, nor can we pay the expenses of an Eng fish estate for these heirs," was the sum of the trustees decision.
 The inference has been that the children's mother chose rather to pay for their English education out of her own fortune than to leave her Eng fish home and bring them to Amer lea. She received half a million in cash from her father-in-law and her first husband, and enjoyed the in come of a $1,000,0OO trust fund.
