On the Other Hand.

The late Edgar Saltus, the brilliant
and satirical novelist, said one day at
a New YdeK wedding breakfast. where
the bridegroom was a millionaire Of
forty-lve:
"Our Rockefellers and Schwabs and
Russell Sages married In their first
youth Well, our successful men don't
marry now as early as they used to,
but, on the other hand"
And Mr.. Saltus looked round the
table with a bland smile.
ION the other hand, they marry
