A Million in Wedding Gifts Almoat a million dollars’ worth of wedding gifte was the royal Portion of Ralph Pulitzer and bis bride. There was a New York city house, with entire fittings, even to fare tapestries and pictures, from the bridegroom's father. There ‘Were dessert plates and finger bowls of solid gold, from Mrs. Vander- MR. There were magnificent table ornaments and candalabra, from the Twombleys and the Sloanes. There were diamonds in such pro- fusion that the common mind can measure them only in pecks. It fs almost beyond the reach of ordinary comprehension. A mil- - Mon dollars is far more than the average wedded pair dares to dream of, Piain John and Mary, as they settle down in thelr sparsely fur- Bished, rented flat and lovingly count over the few plated spoons and @olded giass pieces that have come to them as pledges of affection and j | Well wishes, regard a million as something hardly of this world. ‘The possession of a million, they may think, would transport them to heaven on flowery beds of case. _ Bat would it? Is happiness any nearer to the rich couple, with - thefr miliion worth of wedding presents tham to plain John and Mary, with their few spoons and pieces of glass? It t» hard to say. Love is a great leveler, and its touch makes righ and poor alike. In the presence of love, as in the presence of Geath. the material things of life shrink to nothingnom, leaving the gon! free. Whether the wedding presents amount almost to a million dollars ae ‘Throughout the world, and through all tima love has been as _ strong and as true in poverty as in wealth, and the langh of content _ and joy has rung as clearly from the cottages as from the mansions x ‘The rich treasure of the wedding-time Is love, and it is the price | less possession of the rich and the poor alike. _ An Ex-Banker In the PoorHouse i People are shocked when an aged ex-banker, who was onee associated with the Vanderbilts and Jay Gould, loses bis grip, sees Bis fortune meit away, and at last lands in the poorhouse. Such is the fate of the venerable Jefferson J. Raplee, during the "60s one of the leading financiers of the country, but now, at 86, an inmate of the Staten Island farm colony for the indigent. It is pitiful—but, seriously, why should there be more shock or sorrow over him than over any other pathetic old man who reaches the end of the rope at last? It is not uncommon for people who have had lots of money to Jose it and become poor. Uncownted thousands born to plenty and Rever trained to live without it have been forced to learn in the hard School of experience. Even the soundest investments and the safest g@ecurities may sometimes slip through the fingers that clutch them It fs hard for old age to have to learn the cruel pinch of poverty. But is it not harder still for childhood to have to learn it and never know anything else? The man who has been a great banker and swung his millions, ‘and fails, bas at least the memory of what he was and what he had to comfort him. He at least has known the joy of success. ‘The man who has been a struggling failure from the start, the withering shadow of the almshouse ever upon him and its open door at last being al! that he has ever got to, is infinitely more pitiable, Shocking indeed is it that one who has once known the joys and the freedom of wealth should be plunged back into the gloom and bondage of want; but far, far more shocking is it that mililons of Men and women with the same city for disappointment and suf- fering as he bas should ceaselessly strain and struggle in that gloom and bondage and never, even for one brief, blessed moment, know a ingle thrill of the joy of success.
