I But no matter how many millions there were Mere ere of them it is It safe to say ay that none had better cause for blessing the heart of a dutiful daughter than Mrs William H Force For Mrs Forces

she would to a lifelong bachelor maidenhood According to the stories society gos gos- gossips gos- gos gossips gossips sips tell few mothers hate ha ha e er e been more ambitious for their daug

started paying payin so 50 handsome handsome- handsomely handsomely ly that the family could afford to have social aspirations It took more and andr more of a hold on her as she saw what r attractive girls her two t daughters Madeline and Katherine were ere growing to be Her heart leaped with delight when she saw that her carefully laid plans v sere ere succeeding and that daughter Madeline had captured the heart of John Jacob Astor Even the fact that he was many years older than her daughter and already divorced from one wife could not chill Mrs Forces Force's enthusiasm And what chat hat

marriage mar before her sister bister had shown the faintest sign s ign of being won Vlon on to romance lomance Mrs Force forgot her disappointment over Katherine's lack of interest in so- so

what made the situation quite hope hope- hopeless hopeless hopeless less from Mrs Forces Force's viewpoint was the fact that he had won his bride over o overto overto to his Ills way ay of thinking Can you imagine what a disappoint disappoint- disappointment mont ment this wa was for lor Mrs Force For Foi a second time she had J just 1st the sort F Q 1 of son law she Had tad long wanted but

determined woman oman would probably ha e given up as a bad job the effort to gain gun a foothold many rounds higher on the social ladder But as long longas longas longas as she had an unmarried daughter Mrs force would keep kep right light on trying tring to get l i son-in-law son who would do for her and her family what hat she wanted But the outlook of snaking making her di earns come true through any romance of Kath Katherine's erines erine's seemed even more discouraging than before The young oung woman oman was apparently delighted with the independence independence independence ence the modern bachelor maid enjoys Still Mrs Force persisted in hoping that some day a R man would come so irresistible that all Katherine's inhibitions inhibitions would be overcome and her heart thrown open to his love And it is said that high on the list of the men she would have liked to see suing for her daughters daughter's hand stood the name of MaJor Lorillard Spencer jr The major is a great-grandson great of the original Pierre Lorillard who ho turned the fondness of f his fellow men men for chew chew- chewing chewing ing and smoking tobacco into a tremendous tremendous tremendous
