IS IT “GRAFT?” ‘A committee from the labor unions has been mamed to visit the Mayor and Aldermen and learn why permission has not been granted to the Port ‘Chester Railroad to cross certain streets in the Bronx. If they find out the reason they will know more than bas yet been made public. Delegate Holland in urging this action stated that laboring men are interested in the Port Chester road because its construction would employ 5,000 men, He might have added that labor has a far larger nnd more permanent interest in it. Every extension and improvement of rapid transit makes it easier for poor men to occupy suburban homes, where their children can have more healthful surroundings than In the heated heart of the city. Every workman who pays excessive rents in lower Manhattan is interested in rapid transit; nothing else will relieve the overcrowding which makes rack rents Possible.

Is it “graft?” Is it, as Alderman Haggerty explains, because the Port Chester people are “mean?” How do they show their meannéss so that the public is not aware of it?

METAPHORS GF A MILLIONAIRE. The Bible class which John D. Rockefeller, Jr, 1s Jeading unfalteringly along the strait and narrow path had a treat last Saturday night. ‘They took a brief recess trom celestial subjects to hear John D, Rockefeller, sr., teach them how to get rich, Mr. Rockefeller talked with the ease, eloquence and ronvincing authority which thorough mastery of a sub- Ject alone can give. He used himself as an iden! object lesson and ple- tured graphically the activities of his boyhood, To the unimaginative his speech may have seemed but the bare recital of a country boy's routine—driving a horse, milking a cow, or buying cordwood, But to the !maginative mind his story has the charm of a deft and subtle symbolism.

OES marrying pay? The ques- ‘ion has sometimes been asked by young women reas- yrs of this column with apparently the contemplation of suc a step before them, - It is a question }] which every woman of more than aver- age attraction has to answer at some time during her life, and, therefore, one in’ which a great many take a prospec- tive or retrospective interest. Of course, considered from the highest ethical standpoint the query 1s one to which only a negntive enswer is posal- ble. We all know that the highest aspirations of our nature will not per- mit the matrimonial sacrifice of love to! lucre, such as a marriage for mere worldly advancement would involve. But considered from the every-day standard of whether the exchange of one’s {deal for a tlara, and romance for an automobile, Is worth while, the annwer depends altogether on the char- acter of the woman who seeks It. For there are a great many perfectly nice women in the world who have no very decided ideas as to the person- ality of thetr husijands-to-be and who could be perfectly happy with any one of half a dozen more or less eligible men they know. If tho woman of this temperament, or, rather, the lack of it, has to choose between two or thres men who differ from each other mainly in the mattor of Income, she will generally insure tho eatest degree of comfort to herself marrying the man with the most money. For, provided he 4s fairly ami- able and presentable, she will be satis- that {s, unless he possesses that people—stinginess, Yor even from the most narrow and nelfish point of view, it Is better to marry a man with a moderate income and generous impulses than one who spends the income of millions as though in deally dread of the poorhouse. It 1s very {mportant to ascertain when marrying elther for love or money whether a man 8 stingy. A great many men are, for though men often laugh at the petty economies of women and it Is the fashion to regard women as the stingy sex, one need only watch an oc- casional street beggar to discover that Aan appearance of generosity are stingy. For Instance, there are some who think nothing of spending a week's Income in taking a girl to the theatre and to supper—that 1s spending money for thetr wn pnjoyment—who would not dream of . becuuxe the leax- ure the flowers confer 1s not one in which they may share. But possessing a distinctly eigible suitor who answers to all these re- quirements, 1s a girl justified in marry- ing him without love? Very often she is. For if he inspires er with genuine respect and friend- grow to love him after marriage, or at least that she may feel for him as muc as she is capable of feeling for any one. The woman of a passive, negative nature can marry for money without | But the other kind—she who is really capable of loving one man and only one, deeply and truly—had much better walt for him to come along and marry him whether he has money or not. —————— TWO OF A KIND.

An Odd Courtship. Of the late Field Marshal Count Waldersee it is said that he proposed to Princess Noer, who became his wife under the following circumstances: The princess had been shopping and had a small parcel in her hand, when he met her, saluted, and turned around to accompany her to the door of her res! dence. The princess held out the parcel to him. He looked: distressed. She affected not to understand why. He re- minded her of tho severe rule prohibiting military men of every degree from carrying in the street parcels or even. ladies’ wraps. She told him that the rule was absurd and that in this instance, {t must be disregarded, or clse—— He laughed, took the parcel and called next day to know what: penalty he would have incurred had he not fbroken the rule, She made a saucy reply. Both bandied words half gay, halt sentimental, with the consequence that the visit ended in an engagement. Pictorial Addition. drippings.
