You are undoubtedly the richest

M, Hermann.
"We make more money In America,
in we are very extravagant.
"It Is our curse.
“It Is peculiar, too, that even those
ho come to us from your country soon
fall Into our habits of extravagance.
“As a result we shell have to go
through n sweating process by and

Speaking very emphatically and ges
ticulating earnestly, Mr. Rockefeller
continued:

"We are highly prosperous now and

who come to u% weekly.
"But we shall have to go through
the sweating process and then we shall
still have to care for them."
Mr. Rockefeller questioned M. Her
mann about French financial methods
and showed hts wonderful knowledge
of American conditions and affairs. He
quoted off hand per capita wealth, per

provement In big cities and agricultural
progress.
When M. Hermann said .that France
took the Pennsylvania Railroad bonds
at 3 3-4, Mr. Rockefeller laughed and
said:
"You can have It.' We can get much
better In America."
He spent an hour on a bench outside
the hotel, deeply Interested In Dr. Blg-

made no comment. He took a bicycle

Ultra Is a neat sum left over for the

Most fearful they are to contemplate,
the expenses of this entertainment.
They will certainly be over two hun

than the year's Income of many a per

cellars with a quarter of an Inch of
water on the floor—men who for alx

cannot earn three hundred dollars in a

scarce In their teens, who can hardly
eee th* top of the work benches—whose
parents have lied to get them their

of three hundred dollars a year, and
perhaps not even th* third of It. And
then to spend such a sum, all In a
single day of your life, at a wadding
feast! (For obviously It Is the same
thing, whether you spend It st once
for your own wedding or In a long
time at the weddings of all your
friends.)
It Is vary Imprudent, It la tragic—
but, ah! It ts so beautiful! Bit by bit
these poor people have given up every
thing else; but to this they cling with
all the power of their touts—they can
not give up the vesellja! To do that
would mean, not merely to b* defeated,
but to acknowledge defeat—and th*

Endlessly th* dancers swung round

they awung th* other way. Hour after
