Acthird is a successful lawyer, and aefourth kept on at his “father's business. This is a good record for the boys. After they were launched, their father left them to’look out financially for themselves. Of the girls, two are unmarried. To these twa all of Mr. Dele- hanty’s estate {s left, the will containing this explanation: Were sent They ch mainder of my children, who, through thelr great unselfishness and love for thelr unmarried sisters, desire to have them provided for as well-as my means will Bpirit of magnanimity may God bless them and thelrs, All the sons and the married daughters were In favor of this dis- position of the property. It leaves it to those who need it most, the unmarried sisters, who would otherwise be dependent upon their brothers for support. It makes them independent, free from possible deprivation and able to give thelr time and thought to such charitable and-religious work as most Interests them. This fs the real American system of inheritance as opposed to th? ‘English system. In England the family is represented by the eldest son. The title and-estates go to him. The unmarried women of his family are his pensioners. His brothers are shifted into the army or the navy, or put on the civil list. Everything is done to insure his riches, pros- perity and greatness. Of all countries in the world, th habitually given the most consideration to the financial necessities of the women of their families. _Dowry is confined almost entirely to the very tich who seek to marry their daughters to men incapable of making a living for themselves and their wives. The care of American fathers in the safeguarding-of American families has bent its utmost efforts to pro- tecting the women whom the death of their parents leaves unprotected. ‘ The Delehanty will may also be commended for the wisdom of its maker In consulting his children in advance about the disposition of h property. There fs no valid reason for making a will in secret or keep fng {ts contents a mystery. The family in its financial relations, as in fts_personal_and social affairs,should not be a number of isolated. ing Hividuals, but a umit, a community of tove, regard, respect and -worldiy (goods as well.
