The inquiry begins v. ith onr uv, rage
girls. They represent American wives
whose happiness ia influenced by the
spieifically foreigu traits in thfir hus-
bauds ami their huahauds’ society and
sur oundiuga. However they may vuiy
in character, they nre alike in their
A11 erioanisin, and it is republican prin­
ciples which are opposed iu them to (ho
aristocratic education of tho men of
their choice.
It is a lulse prejudice to anp|iose that
these or the titled gctitlenidi who take
American w ives are mere fori nue hui t-

Where cnaes of diasipation of tho
great fortunes of American wives recur
and are duly reported, two or three
things are sometimes overlooked. The
isrm W
flist is thut, if the cases were list rure,
W
they would hardly be coii“idered worth
offering to the. public as shocking facts.
The second is that the fortune evidently
wus limited. Tbe next may surprise us,
for it is a truth that has not not been
realized by onr home stujing country­
men—I mean the fact that foreigners

Why, the rt latives usk, did she not bring

What they mean, and what they feel

justified by the usages of their class in
meaning, is that young noblemen do
nothing nnuscal iu being « xlruvagant.
If the consort of such u man brings
weallh enough for her to be luxurious,
too, no objection to thut is valid. But
the head of the house is the member
who is the representative of his rank, to­
