M’lNTYRE New York, Feb. 20.—The young man who sets his cap for an heiress and lands her does not always live happily ever after. They may lead a limousine life sans toll but in the end, reversing the Kipling dictum, they pay and pay and pay. I have in mind a blonde young fellow who wed the daughter of a man who inherited one of Manhat tan's greatest fortunes. He came from a family of impoverished aristo crats. He was the envy of all. Coun try estates. Homes in Paris, London and Palm Beach. I crossed with them on a steamer once. He was a suj>er lackey. He ran errands and was an efficient "Yes, Yesser.’’ He apparently lived in dread of her carping comment and there were times when I Imagined he would' have given the dowery to have inquired: "Who’s boss of this family, anyhow?" I have seen them with parties In cafes. He had the manner of an unpopular step-child trying to win favor. He has no job and is dragged off to this place and that when the whim to move slezes her. His job Is to look out for the luggage. There are scores of young men who no doubt Imagined they had landed In clover when they married Man I0£ittan heiresses. It is not ao long before they awaken to the realiza tion that their wives look upon them with contemptuous superiority. 'the man who marries for money and position is necessarily lacking in corpuscles of a cerise hue so be becomes a fawning sycophant—flut tering in fear of a shut off of the lilowanee. Three young heiresses who married men of this kind, sud "iii nit* rohnllrnl One eloped with a coachman and UPSET STOMACH, GAS, INDIGESTION Chew a few Pleasant Tablets, —Stomach Feels Finel So pleasant, bo Inexpensive, so quick to settle an upset stomach. The ^i»oment "Pape’a Dlapepsln” reaches the stomach all pain and distress from indigestion or a sour, gassy stomach vanishes. Millions know Its magic. All drug gist* recommend this harmless stom ach corrective. AUVKHTI8EMKNT. ", OUR FAMILY PHYS1C1AK— “INTERNAL BATHS” Hygienic Institute: _ - *f have been using ths J.

J. "M&ttotv' 9 Col. T Col. T. \V. Miller, alien property custodian, lias started n bitter fight In the Treasury department by charging. In speeches in New York city and Newark, N. J., tliat a "high treasury official” had admitted the Treasury department estimates of the cost of the soldier bonus had been "Juggled" to create a false impression and defeat the proposal. Secretary of the Treasury Andrew J. Mellon denied the charges as “absolutely unfounded and untrue,” and declared he was amazed" at the statements. the oilier two got week-end Paris divorces and married men who worked. The fortune hunter may not ! thrill to "Vive In a cottage" before marriage but after the honeymoon he has a brand new set of ideas. The music publishing houses along Tin Pan Alley flaunt their newest and catchiest tunes with printed win dow signs. On Forty-seventh street I saw this one in two feet letters of red: "The last tear In cry songs." The man who has the reputation of writing the greatest stories of rural types In mountains lives in a Harlem flat and the smallest town he was ever in was Troy, N. Y. One of the best pen etchings of New York was written by a fellow from the middle west who spent four days here on a Sunday school excursion. How ever, these are mere coincidences. As a rule the writer must study his subect to produce the proper pho netics. It is difficult to Imagine the George M. Cohan of today as the jumping jack song and dance man with the nasal twang of a few years ago. Then he was the Little George crying: "Boys, I’m on my first million!" and star-spangled-bannering his way to fame. Today he has the appearance of the gentle white-haired curate Horse blanket clothes and squat pearl derby have given away to a sartorial dignity that almost equeaks. He spends the most of his time at his country place at Great Neck. He goes late to first nights and sits far back In the darkened theater and omits the lobby-handshaking when the curtain falls. Yet Broadway still holds his affection as in the days when he sang "Give my regards to Broadway, remember me to Herald 8quare.” He is always first with a check for a Broadway charity. He will hop out of bed at any hour of the night to answer the call of the Broadway stricken. The Belasco flair for detail was illustrated In one of his recent pro ductions There Is a scene in a doc tor's office. On the program one reads: "Medical library furnished by the Blank Medical Publishing Co.’ The audience couldn't read the names of the volumes with a Lick telescope. (Copyright. 1J24. > .
