Possessing great tiriunes, the fakirs of foreign arlKtocracy flashed their gilded coronets before their yc In the same manner as the gold-brick litlKt daizles a victim. They paid the I'.!re and presently discovered on close In-spei.-tlon of the package that they were bur. coed. The heirefs to the Vanderbilt millions lung has been held the one prominent x- pllon to the seeming rule that marriage between moneyed Americans and titled Kuropians cannot be happy. The domestic trouble of the Marlborough, however, of fers one more strong argument to the op ponents of such alliances, who claim that they result in misery, even where the public- hfars no rumors of unhapplness. The duchess of Marlborough. Is far from (he first American heiress to tread the wine errrrtrlr Martini tie TslWyrsnd- gnrd, later the pUr de Dlno. When the marquis tens.vl to receive his enormous al lowance he neglected her for other women. He came to this country. visited New York. Newport and other places. At Newport he met Mrs. Jllrhard Steven of New York. He returned to France at the end ef the summer and Informed his wife that he In tends to divorce her. In the meantime Mrs. Stevens made a similar snnouticement to her husliand. The Marquis de Talleyrand refued to consent to the los of her dearly bought title, whereupon the elder Talleyrand gave his son his title of Due de rlno. Mrs. Stevens and the duke were married. They lived together for som years, more or leys unhappily, nnd then the duchess secured a divorce. "Incompatibility" wss the cause given In the court decree, but It generally was understood that this word covered a multitude of sins. The story of Helen Morton, daughter of the former vice president, Levi P. Morton, reveals a tragic misalliance. Helen Mor ton was a fine type of the accomplished American heiress and an ornament to any society. Brought up In the most refined manner, and with literary attainments, she married the dissolute Due de Valencay, fascinated by the glamour of his title. They married In grand state In 1901. She auffrrtd for several years from the cruelties, neg lect and Indignities of her husband, and, although she saved his family from abso lute; ruin and his family property from the brokers, she afterwards discovered that not ony had her dowery been forfeited to the Eordld family of her husband, but that press of disillusionment and marital J she had no right to wear the soiled and anguish. Many fair, golden fingers before hers have grasped the coveted strawberry leaves encircling a coronet to be pierced rruelly by the concealed thorns. Many of the numerous American women who have found titled husbands "Impos sible" have had recourse to the divorce i mirts. Others have agreed to separate and others still have resigned themselves to their fates, preferring to suffer in silence rather than have the notoriety of H separation. Consuelo Vanderbllt's marriage to the iluke of Marlborough, eleven years ago, was society's greatest event of that year. Miss Viindwrbllt' brought her husband a dowry of Jo.tK.m.ooo, and there was every prospect thnt If she survived her parents the duke of Marlborough would gain control of the Vutidirbllt multi-millions. The marriage of her father, however, effectually de stroyed the air castles the duke had been building, and It Is said that since that ,vr"" time he has neglected her more and more, i V t" w:" remarked frequently by those who ' J :'w. the beautiful duchess walking or i ill h lug abroad that she seldom was seen . J, with her husband. Now comes the news frcp England that they have agreed to epiil-tite. The public reason for taking the iiti-p Is "Incompatibility," but there are, us i: viii 1. rumors of a woman In the case, tnnn Robinson and Iorrt Rosslyn.

Bessie Boars Curtis of Boston mar- V mud-bespattered title of Duchess de Val encay, and that her right was clear only to the title of countess. There Are Others. A doren or more years ago there came a dissolute scion of n decayed French no bility across the waters to the United States, fortune-hunting. This fellow car ried as his only asset and passport to the favor of some wealthy American girl to any American girl who had the desired ducats and would listen to him a title, vain and vague and giy. He was Intro duced as Count Bonl de Castellans. This title gave him entrance to the select circle In which moved the daughters of the late Jay Gould, and finally to the Gould man sion on the Hudson. The man who had amassed the Gould millions, the father and natural guardian of the family, sagacious, bard-headed, old Jay Gould, was dead; his youngest daughter, -Anna, was charming, rich and twenty, the owner by right of In heritance of an estate in cash and equities amounting to S14.000.ou0. Here Indeed was a plum worth the pick lng. Count Bom did not conceal or at tempt to conceal the motive of his matri monial quest. It suited his purpose. In Connection with it, to make love ardently to the heiress. His success was advertised in one of the most brilliant weddings ever staged In New. York. Anna Gould became Countess de Castellane, paying out of hand. It Is Bald, for the title 2,000,000 to the fortune-hunter's mother in France and $3, 000.000 to the successful angler himself. The details of this shameful bargain and sale were known to all the world, yet when Anna Gould, Countess de Castellano, sailed away from her native land It was aa a reputable woman whose sale of herself to a fortune-hunter and a libertine was legal and honorable. Now, after a series of years In which her fortune has been squandered upon debta and vices unnamable, comes Anna Gould, Countess de Castellane, Into court asking release, from the chains ahe so wll- rTgnW siuiaujiJiMmMIMMIHIlll ! ii ( I Rl C.imibl, 196, j I .

Florence Audenreid of Washington,, a liemitiful and swf et-hearti d girl, married Count Pivonr.e. The ceremony was per formed In great splendor. Secretary Blaine gave the bride awny to th Impecunious foreigner, and the bit m n was Theodore Roustan, the French minister. Archbishop Corrlgan pcrfnrm'l th' ceremony, and a great crowd of functionaries and the best society at the capital went to the church to look on. But, like others of America's lovable young women, she found that her foreigner could not give her the happiness for which 1 her heart waa yearning. The Countess PI-; vonne soon learned that her Frenchman was not a model husband. He turned out to be only a beribboned roue. He was a magnificent ppnder of money. He gave gorgeous entertainments and bought won derful presents for deml-mondalnes. But the noble American girl stuck to her choice persistently, and even journeyed to Washington to obtain more money for her husband. Her family objected. They told her to let the count make the best of his financial situation. They refused to allow him more than $S,000 a year. The count grew wroth at such treatment and vented his anger on his suffering wife. He has treated her so cruelly that she has become an Invalid, and Is cut off from even such happiness as her occasional visits to her home had given her. Lady William Bagot, who has decided upon separation proceedings against her husband, has been married but three years. Lady Bagot was the beautiful Mis Lillian May of Baltimore, and the wedding, which took place In London, caused no slight sen sation. Reports say that the union never was a happy one, and disagreements soon came. It Is said that Lady Bagot left her husband several times, and that reconcilia tions were arranged. Now ahe again has found the mistreatment accorded her by her husband insufferable. The union of Eva Julia Bryant Mackay with Prince Colonna had the usual sequel years of unhapplness and neglected misery for the beautiful American who wss mar ried and dropped. Isabel nance Waa tnhapvr Baroness Bronsart von Schellemlorf Is a beautiful divorcee. Once she was Miss Isabel Bunce, an Ohio girl. The baron came to this country on borrowed money and society received him with Its usual favor. Mammas with marriageable daugh ters smiled upon him. The young women looked upon him with admiring glanca and thought him a wonderful person. The baron held, through his family, some sort of government position, which took him away from the more expensive Ufa of Ku rope. He took his pick .of the matri monial offerings made at his shrlno, con cluded the business arrangements of tho affair, married In eclat, and then took hla bride and the money to the German colony In East Africa. This American girl waa accustomed to the American conception of conjugal pro prieties and attentions. She found her self Baroness Ton Schellendorf, and noth ing more. The baron spent 1 her money freely, consorted freely with nativo women, and seemed surprised when she ventured to remonstrate with him. 80 the baroness left her priie and secured a divorce. The socloty event of a year was the marriage of Helena Zimmerman, Cincinnati beauty and heiress, to the Duke of Man chester. Recently reports have come 10 America to the effect that their life Is a succession of disagreements. It Is said the duke and the duchess have different views on the vital question. She resents his open attentions to other women. It Is not to be supposed, however, that In the caae the American glrl w'nt blindly to her life of marital misery", for the duke was regarded at the time of the marriage as the poorest duke In Burke's peerage poor, not in finance alone, but also in morals. His father had the reputation of being the most disreputable noble in Eng land. Countess Penalosa. who waa Miss Marie Relne Fuss of St. Louts, waa granted a divorce from her husband, who. belonged to one of the oldest and most respected families In Spain. Respectability, she found, as have many before her, means much less abroad than It does In Araerlci. Her husband's favorite place of residence was Paris, but she could not endure the life he led. The saddest part of their ca.ie Is the fact that they have two children, of whom she has been given th custody, and who will be taken from their profli gate father. May Yohe and Lord Francis Hope were another pair who were divorced after years of Incompatibility. She found It im. possible to retain her respect and lov for her husband, and even allowed him to make her the defendant In the court that gave her freedom. Few International titled marriages have proved successful. Out of 174 American heiresses of more or less note who have brought foreign husbands 1231,000.000 in dowries, there are less than twenty from whom reports of unhapplness have not come to America. Perhaps $200,000,009 has been scattered among foreign hus bands who have mistreated and humiliated the women who trusted them. Rarely do American girls who marry titles ever attain the coveted social dis tinction for which they have longed. The American girl who goes abroad to live the life uf a countess Is taken away from a home life In which she always has been surrounded by loving companions boys and girls whom she has understood and loved taken away to a country the man ners and customs of which she knows nothing and there obliged to live within herself or associate with depravity. It takes a long struggle for a girl to pun these surroundings aside and raise hersmf up to social recognition. Only a few of the many have attained it.

COWS T0GGEDWITH GLASSES Bpeetaeled Herd of Myopic Milkers Attract Attention In Arkansas. If one were Inclined to make a nun he would say that the cattle owned by George Hepro and kept by him on hi farm. near Big Sandy, Ark., are 'spectacles." It would be true of thm in one sense of the word and to a -certain extent, In both Senses. About twelve years ago Mr. Hepro was the owner of a prize cow named Arrydycn, the best milch cow In that part of the country so excellent an animal that he waa offered $1,100 for her by the state agri cultural college. He would not. sell her. even at this high price, but not so long after lie had refused the offer he was sorry that he had nut done so, for the animal he-arne troubled with some sort of bovine disease in her hed, and when she got well again she was afflicted with a bad case of short slghteincss wi" fephlt! vision. She could not see things well, even when thty were within two Inches of her nose, und nearly starved to death In the pasture before it was discovered that alia could not see the grass well enough to eat It. Mr. Hepro's son Montmorencie is un oc culist in Little Reck and, happening to ba home on a visit at the time the cow's dtDi culty was realized, he suggested that If; could muke a pair of spectacles for her that wniM enable her to see as well as ever. He was given the commission, with promise of $100 if they worked, and In a very short time he had fitted the,, high price bosy out with an excellent pair of bifocals that enabled her to graz and eat as well as ever with her held down and to see dis'ant objects as cleirly and distinctly as in the pulmy days when her head was lifted. She beontne as valuable as ever, and the college renewed Its offer, which was again refused by the farmer. It soon developed, however, that th peculiarity of shorts ghtednfss and feeble vlslin was hereditary In her descendants to the second 1 and thlid generations, and Inasmuch a her roni'irkahle milking qualities werfl hereditary also, Mr. H-prn could not think of changing the breed. He he:d onto It. and, while adding to h's bank account by me.ins of the astonishing flow of milk that characterised alt of the Arrydyce strain, he continued to remedy their Inherent visual defects by the use of the samo kind of glasses that the noted ancestress of the herd always wore.' These aids to vision had to be placcnl on the calves at an early age and changed, both as to size and degvee of refractlvj power, as the animals grew older, which latter change has also to be made occa sionally, even after the animals har reached maturity. He now haa a herd of twenty-three of the wonderful myopic milkers, and II Is j a strange sight to aea them roaming over his extensive pastures, all fitted out with ! large, strong, shining and expensive ! bifocal glasses old cows, calves and all J as solemn nnd serious-looking in appear ance ns an asemllage of Boston schooi marms. Mr. Hepro claims that the wearing of the glasses has a sobering effect on tha animals, which Is perfectly apparent twit In the young ones, and that they n'V.T frisk about and piny as other people's calves do. The cattle are very fond of wearing the glasses and are very careful, scarcely emr breaking them. Fome of the older animals-' seem to understand fully their use and something about their care, for quite often on very fogy mornings when the glasses are clouded with the moisture that settles on them soveral of the older cows csn be seen wiping them clear again by rubbing them gently against the sides of the other animals.
