The late Hdgur Saltus, the brilliant
and satirical novelist, said one day at
a New York wedding breakfast, where
the bridegroom was a millionaire of
forty-live:
"Our Rockefellers and Schwabs and
Russell Sages nmrled In their first
youth. Well, our successful men don't
marry now as early as they used to,
but. on the other hand "
And Mr. Saltus looked round the
table with a bland smile.
"On the other hand, they marry
oftener."
