MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

No really well-born European
takes his title seriously. AS a
young Italian explained to me,
if a count in Italy has IL sons,
they are ALL counts" That
count-stuff means about as
much over there as our
esquire" means over here. In
business a title is a handicap,
not an asset.
The success or failure of an
international marriage, I hon.
estly believe, depends first on
the sort Of man the girl chooses,
and second on the nationality
from which she chooses him.
We Americans are so MIXED,
in blood, characteristics and
temperament, ourselves, that we
can get along perfectly with a
fairly nice man who halls from
the same shores as did some Of
our forefathers. Why not? I
could love an Irish Lord or a
Scotch Laird or an English
baronet just as well, whether
he'd ever seen the White House
or the Stock Exchange or not.
Because it's Irish and Scotch
and English blood that runs in
my veins.
No-the great rock on which
the average international mar
riage goes to smash is the
CASH! Because the man who
marries for cash is the kind
who intends to collect it, and
will insist on spending it HIS
way. Whether he has a title
or only a singing voice and
dancing foot, he's always a dud
as a husband.
A fortune hunter is a for
tune-hunter, whether he's born
in America, in Europe, in Egypt
or in Abyssinia. When two
