Now the Wendell sisters belong to oldest New York. Their mother Is a descendant of the Washington and Lee families of Virginia.

JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN EFOKMEKS nnd others have been vociferous In denunciation of our International isolation, financially and lleeent doings In Gerpolitically, many nnd elsewhere abroad, however, would seem to Indicate that with them It Is now largely a case of "Othello's occupations gone." Hut they need not cease front repining over our world relations. The subject of International marriages should nITord them enat least partial outlet for peat-uergies. Keally, you know, when It comes to International marriages tho situation Is exactly the reverse of "splendid Isolation, Its really quite awful the way our fine American women are mnrrylng titles abroad nnd deserting the "Land of the free and the home of the bruve to say nothing of the millions of good American dollars that go with them. Of course, there's nothing new about these International marriages. They've been going on for novel readers will a long time. All middle-ageremember when tbe subject was new and exotic enough to set Henry Jumes wiggling and twisting through one of bis subtle nnd Intricate studies of International life and character. In fact, Jennie Jerome, born In Brooklyn, who revolutionized the British idea of the American woman, married Lord Randolph Churchill away buck In 1S74. At that time the American womnn was looked upon in England, hs on tbe continent, ns u strunge creature, with habits and manners something between n red Indian and a Gaiety girl. There was only cue type. One was Just like the next. Her She was dollars were her only recommendation. looked upon as a dangerous person, to be avoided. Jennie Jerome, however, had wealth, social position, education and brains and her vivid brunette beauty was a sensation In that day of tbe blond. She won over tbe Marlboroughs, captivated London und became an acknowledged social leader l.ater. ns tbe widow of "Kandy nnd the mother of Winny (Winston Churchill) she became a political nnd literary power. In 1900 she married t apt. nnd her power grew George Cornwallis-Wes- t rattier than diminished.

It 8 nn odd thing that right now, fifty years later, the next most famous American woman of ail these American brides should be so persistentperson-agely In the limelight that heats on high-uIn Britains public affairs. This American woman Is of course Lady Astor, the first woman to take a seat In the British parliament. And her career is n romnnee no less. She was Nancy Witcher Lnnghorne of Virginia. She was the widow of Robert Gould Shaw when In. 1!HK she married Lord Astor, son of William Waldorf Asof the founder of the Astor tor, fitnilly, who became an expatriate nnd received a title in England for his donations to royal charities.

One cannot indict all thenr American women who marry foreign titles any more than one cun Indict a whole nation. For ii Is evident that some are real love matches. Not always does a fortune go with tbe bride. Social position has been the heart's desire of women, everywhere and always, and marrying the right kind of title ubVoad is a short cut to It. Besides, young women are often "in love with love," tbe philosophers agree. So the myth of the splendid European lover" appeals to them, rather than the good American husband. On tbe ether hand there are international mar- - . rluges where It looks to the average-- American as If tbe bolder of tbe title were after money on tirely und ns If tbe American women did not get d their money's worth. Anyway, It Is a bargain. We get nothing in ret urn for a fortune nnd a citizen. There Is. to lie sure, on occasional We did not lose exception by way of emphasis. a citizen and may have gained one when Vanderbilt, only child of the late George W. Vanderbilt, recently married Hon. John Francis Amherst Cecil, third son of Lord William Cecil. Her fathers will provided that in order to inherit Ids estate at Biltmore, N.

Mr. Cecil resigned from the British diplomatic service-anis assisting in tbe management of the estate one of t be show places of the country. Up to tbe time of the World war International marriages were on the increase. An incomplete list of tlie more noteworthy in a 1014 almanac totals about 230. Many of them caused a sensation in their day. The aftermath of others still finds Its way to the first page of the newspapers for example, tbe marriage of Anna Gould to Count Bonl de Cnstellane nnd later to tbe Deike de Prince de Sagan, and that of Mary Victoria I.elter of Chicago to Lord Curzon, now earl of Kedleston. During the war the business International marriages fell off. After the war mine the Inihix of French brides with their soldier husbands not many fortunes there, one Imagines. Now t lie business Is booming again. They do say Unit (he 40 presentations at the Court of St. James this year through the American embassy would hnve been 000 had all the applications by American women been granted. Anyway, 1024 has already broken all records with its long list of inone-side- Miss-Corneli- ternational marriages. Gossips of two continents are still talking about tbe first international marriage of 1924 that of Mary Mllliecnt Rogers of New York, twenty, granddaughter of the late II. II.

The count nnd his bride were married In tbe municipal building, New York, nnd took her parents. Col. nnd Mrs. Henry II. Rogers, entirely by surprise. They went to Paris. In April her father went to Europe and returned with the countess. The count did not come, as he had pressing tennis engagements in Berlin and Vienna. The gossips intimate that her father arranged matters so that the count may be able to devote all of bis time to tennis abroad. An example of an international marriage which appnrentiy affords little ground for carping Is that of Prince VIggo of Denmark and Miss Eleanor The Margaret Green of New York last June. bride is a granddaughter of Abram S. llewlit, once mayor of New York, nnd a of Teter Cooper, tbe philanthropist. Her official title Is Her Royal Highness Princess Eleanor of Denmark, countess of Rosenborg. There Is no great amount of money on either side. It Is stated that Prince Viggo was obliged to waive all rights of succession to the Danish throne of King Christian X, both for himself and his heirs.

Ah, there Is a reason for that," the backlog said. And then the backlog told its story. You know lu families there are mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers. They are the background of the family. They see that the family lives up to the family traditions and they keep Btrong and sturdy so they can direct and guide the younger ones. They are ones to be leaned upon when the younger ones cant understand things or get into trouble or are puzzled about things. And so Is the backlog of a fire. I am the background of the fire which Is now laid just as It is in a family. Of course In a family the younger ones dont burn and flume as you do. And In a family there are many other ways that are different. But of course the lire family lias Its own ways, too. We do act as the background though in just tbe way real families have their background. And yet a background is of no use If those in front or ahead, or tbe younger ones, dont do all they can. If you dont start In and burn brightly with your smaller sticks I cant get anywhere at all. If you did nothing then I would not amount to much, hut would he an old background without any purpose. "If families said: M We younger ones need not do anything bright or 'fine or brave as we have such splendid parents and grandparents who have made the family fa- - the families would soon cease to amount to anything. It is fine to have a background, but those in the foreground must do something too. And irt this way the fireplace family is very much like a real family. It is the work of the sticks and the smaller logs in front to burn brightly so that the whole fireplace and the mous, where she could live cheaply. She also lived quietly and the two titled suitors had to come to the country home to do their courting. Rich? Yes, Indeed; both earls are very wealthy. And oh, the family traditions that go with their titles! For the brides of tbe House of Carnarvon always have to face at Brethy Hall the ghost of Lady Chesterfield, an ancestress of the time of Charles II who visits them In the night nnd warns them ngalnst the wiles of men. And the brides of tho house of Galloway always receive one visit from that ancestress who was no less than the bride of Lammermoor, famed in song and story. The story of the marriage of Ava Alice Muriel Astor to Prince Serge Ilntonovltch Obolenski Meletsltl shames fiction. She is the great-groa- t granddaughter of the original John Jacob Astor (1703-1S48with a fortune of ten or fifteen millions, und a relative by marriage of Lady Astor. lie Is a penniless member of nn old Russian family. Badly wounded In the World war. he was nursed back to health by the widowed Princess Bnrlatlnsku, daughter of Czar Alexander II by his second (und morganatic) wife, Catherine Dolgor-uki- . He married her. After the revolution In Russia they went to London, where Princess Obolenski went on the concert stage to support them. She got a divorce from him In London last spring, charging neglect. Infidelity and nonsupport." Soon after her mother tiled; leaving an estate of about $30,000,000 which was beyond t be Princes reach. Nothing daunted, the prince turned around and married Alice Astor. The fortune of the second Princess Obolenski comes from her father, John Jacob Astor IV (1804-1912who went down with tbe Titanic. Her mother was Ava Lowle Willing of Philadelphia, who Is now l.ady Ribblesdaie, the wife of an eccentric Briton who is seventy nnd owns 4.S0O acres. The father and mother of Alice were divorced In 1909. Her father then married Madelein Force, who is now Mrs. W. K. Dick und the mother of John Jueob Astor V. Mathilde Osers marriage in 1923, which set the internalional gossips fluttering, links the Standard Oil und Harvester millions. Mathilde Is the daughter of Harold F. McCormick and Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick and the grandduughter of John D. Rockefeller. lKr parents have been divorced nnd McCormick is now t be husband of Ganna Wulska-D- e a Polish woman whose beauty, murriages nnd prlma donna aspirations have interested two continents for several years. Mathilde, at sixteen, with her hair down her bark, announced that she was going to marry Max User, proprietor of a riding school in Zurich, whose age wus 'variously stated to he between forty-thre- e and fifty seven jenrs. And marry him she did. Her mother never gave her consent. Her father made her wait till she was eighteen. And now Mathilde Oser has a daughter, presumably heiress to untold McCormick and Rockefeller millions. Mrs. William B. I.eoiK widow of the "Tin-PlatKing," Is said to hnve attained higher foreign rank than any other American woman. In 1920 she married Prince Christopher, brother of King Constantine of Greece. Geotee II is now king and Princess Anastasia, who was originally Nonnle May Stewart of Cleveland, Ohio, died Inst year. Her son, William B.
