Show DON'T WORRY ABOUT OUR GIRLS. A correspondent to the New York Sun bewails the fact that while we annually receive 1,000,000 immigrants from Europe, many of them poor and low bred, our very best girls in turn are marrying dukes and lords and earls and counts and no-accounts in Europe. He looks forward to the time when our race will degenerate undeiy such an arrangement. ar-rangement. He need not worry. Our best girls do not marry in Europe. Perhaps, from the fact that they have not the money to buy the title, but the few that do have tough experiences, if we are to judge by the attempts at-tempts made by the Gould and Vanderbilt families to get into titled society. Those degenerate scions of noble houses, who to help their finances and their stock, come here and sell themselves to rich American girls, fortunately are few compared with the number of girls in America Ameri-ca who are willing to marry. We do not believe that American women think it so much honor to belong to the peerage of Europe Eu-rope as they did twenty-five years ago. There have been too many sorry experiences and then things have improved on this side. Girls have a chance to marry bonanza kings, and sugar kings and cotton kings and railroad magnates and a whole lot of other kings on our own soil, and the best blessing to bestow upon them is, ''The worst is yet to come." |
