1 OFTEN think that mothers nre
tho worst press agents on earth,
and that thoy do far more to
mieor tholr daughters' fortunen than
they do, to boost them. .
Practically every woman who bus
girls, Is on n still hunt for husbands
for them, sayH Dorothy Dlx. She
wants to see them married off and
settled In homos of their own, with
their shopping tickets assured for
llfo. To this end flhu attempts to pre
sent her daughtera In an attractive
light to tho masculine eye, and It Is
tho blunders that she makes In this,
direction that are ho appalling and so
pathetic, for nine times out of 10
Instead of casting u rosy halo about
the girl, mother succeeds lu robbing
her of whatever charms she has.
For Instanco, the other day I was
at a dinner given lu honor of a wo
man from tho middle west nnd her
very pretty nnd attractive daughter.
Thuro woro several delightful young
men present who were Just beginning
to got tbcir reel well planted on the
ladder of success, and any one of
whom would have boon a good mntch
for tho' girl, for they were all men
with fortunes.
Hut mother calmly announced:
"Mablo told them all at home that
she was going to Now York lu search
of u millionaire, nnd that no pikers
need apply." Possibly the speech
was Intonded as a Jest, but it was an
expression of a desire so sordid, so
moreonary. so vulgar that It fell like
a wet blanket over tho entire com
pany, and, push it aside as we might,
none of uh could see the girl a any
thing but n miserable little fortune
hunter, willing to sell herself to the
highest bidder.
"That lets us out, doesn't It?" one
of the young men said with a scarce
ly veiled Hiieer to the other men. "we
can't qualify In the mllloluairo class
by about $l00.!)l)ii.7fi."
Left ller Alone.
Furthermore, not ono of the young
inon who was Invited to the dinner
to meet this girl paid her the slight
est attention while she was in the
city, although they would havo liked
her, and been nlco to her, and made
her have a good time had It not been
for her mother's assertion that she
was in search of a husband with
money. Tho gill's most malicious
oneiny could not have done her a
worse turn than her mother did by
her Idiotic speech.
Nor Is this type of mothers rare. J
i nave Known hundreds of women
married to men lu moderate clrcum
stancos who made no bones of pro
claiming to any ono they knew that
they didn't Intend that their (laugh
tors should marry poor men rcul
have to work and economize as the
had had to do. A mother of t Ill's
febrt Is as good a scarecrow to keep
suitors away from her daughters as
human Ingenuity can Invent.
The man who has his own fortune
to make certainly does not want to
marry the daughter of a woman who
had not tho courago to do her part In
assisting lior husband, nor tho affec
tion to make her feel that It Is a priv
ilege to holp bear the bunions of one
you love, so tho levol-headed man.
who wants a wife who will be a holp.
mnto Instead of a hindrance, keeps
away from girls that have boon
brought up by such a mother. Nor

publication in the society depart

than ,G o'clock p. in., Friday of

They think that attracts men. where
as It scares men off. When a sensi

heartless, selfish and frivolous. He
says to himself that she's working
