Show RETORT SHOULD HAVE STUNG Magazine Writer, His Suit Rejected, Delivers Himself of Most Un-gallant Un-gallant Speech. "Your autocratic American millionaire million-aire will often make a mesalliance, and marry a chorus girl or a parlor maid.

But he, on account of the low rates of the magazine, was as poor a6 a church mouse, and so the heiress would not consider him seriously. "As they leaned side by side over the rail one afternoon, the heiress, looking over the rolling waters, sighed sigh-ed and said: " 'I love the sea.' "The impoverished and embittered, magazine writer retorted with a sneer: " 'I don't see why. It hasn't got any money.' " |
