Mrs. Ward Is said to fear the critics of this oountry, and It joubtful whether aha will accept any of the offers made her by tha lec ture bureau men. Her uncle, Matthew Arncld, looked upon his American lecture tour as the stupendous blunder of hla career. Ita Hdrrcd that his literary reputation gait prestige by tha disrespectful and belittling tone the newspapers adopted toward him. Mr*. Ward la probably the moat painstaking and hard-working novelist to be found. She won her present pre eminent place In the world of letters by concentration and patient labor. No prlma donna guards her reputa tion more Jealously than Mrs. ward ■1o»a hers. Every public appearance Is planned with the same careful thought and Judgment given by great operatic stare who know that If they sing half a dozen lines out of tune It may con demn them for a lifetime. Strangely enough, Matthew Arnold never bad any faith in hla niece’s nov- cltsttc powers. •Poor Mao’, she never can write a novel." he was In the habit of saying. “Why doesn't she stick to the essay?" But In spite of this lack of filth, he •nfluenced her tremendously. At Mrs. Ward's axtremely exclusive dinner parties and teas one almost never meets an American, unless It be Henry James or Sargent and men like them, who already are lion* In aristo cratic circles. It would be hard to And a reasoned reporter In all London who would have the temerity to ring her doorbell and ask for an Interview off hand. Just why American girls so frequent' ly marry Englishmen was a question agitating the readers of The Evening Journal when I set. salt for foreign lands. The topic carried me back to my childhood's Impression—gained how and whence I know not. unless from some Idle tale—vlx., that English hus- bands always beat their wlyeal Later acquaintance with that nation silty has filled to verify childhood's Impression, although the newspaper stories of the experience of some of our American peeresses who bought ti tles; with husbands attached, might suggest Its truth. Two Obvious Reasons. Just why so many Englishmen choose American wives la obvious. First of all, America boasts many young women of fortune. Second,' American' girls a?* particu larly ctiarrotyf. , .The comparison of the English and American girls In Jamaica was strik ingly to the advantage of our own girls in the matter of general attract iveness. The English girls were often handsome and richly dressed and ac complished. Their voices were agree- able; they ,possessed repose of "man ner. • But our girls wore their clothes bet. ler, carried themselves with more dls. Unction, entertained inen and women more successfully, and kept things go ing with more activity. At one house party a slender, scarce ly pretty girl from New England had every men at her hecla without effort, while her pink and white and hand some English rivals looked on In won der, and could not understand; yet It was merely what we call “go" In the girl which kept the men awake and alert. The American girl entertains—the Just why ths Amerlcun girl la ready to marry the English lovar la another question., ■ Persistency Wlrre _ But one Important factor In wooing Is persistency, The English lover Is usually persist ent. He la not only seeking ait at tractive wife, but he Is seeking a com fortable fortune. The American lover la making hla fortune, and therefore he aeelu hla wife only, ao he may at times seem less determined than the Englishman, who has so much at stake. In the theatrical world we find fre quent cases of marriage of poor young American women to foreign lovers: the charm of the footlights makes a world of Its own. -But outside of this world not one foreigner In one thou sand seeks a poor American girl In marriage. A broad statement, but I believe statistics will verify It. The most persistent Impulse In the modern man Is the Unsocial one. Thla Is the mercantile age; America la tha money center of the world today. "Decaying titles, Impecunious "gen tlemen,” Indigent "old families every land on earth are looking to America for funds to'reinstate them. Foreign men of culture have not the virile qualities necessary to build for tunes as our American men build them out of seeming Impossibilities. The Thiret for Wealth. r But no American ever thirsted for wealth .and all It gives as almost every foreigner thirsts for It. • They call us the mercenary people! f Impressive Diamond Argument. •narvmrnL. 1 ELLA WHEELER WILCOX. l TO MISS ALEXANDER. Miss Hazelle Alexander Is receiving charming attentions as the guest of Miss Mildred Harris In West End. Sat urday evening she was given a surprise party and watermelon cutting by the young men of West End. Monday evening she will bo the guest of honor at a theater party at the Casino. Tuesday afternoon Miss Edith Coflctd will entertain In her honor some twen ty-four or more young men and young women at a card party. Yet never was there an American who felt the Jealous, envious craving for riches which Is exhibited by the Eng. Ilsh and French men of old families and fallen fortunes when taken off their guard or studied by one who understands human nature. Conscious of their Inability to cope with our virile descendants of the Pil grim Fathers, they set themselves the easier task of coping with them as lovers and husbands. The Englishman knows the Innate vanity of woman, and caters to It. He pursues her and her fortune with ardor perelstency, and If he Is tactful diplomatic the wife continues to believe what the maiden Imagined— that It was herself, not her money, he sought. The , Englishman, In outward man ners, might well, be emulated by moat of our American men—"Give the devil hla due." The Englishman dresses for dinner and lakes time for his meals. He finds leisure for enjoyment. This appeals lo all women. Of course, he ran afford lo do It, since hla American father-in-law has enrned him his for tune, but the fact remains that his habits are companionable and restful lo the American woman. Life Is heller worth living when peo ple take time to be well bathed, groopi- ed nml dressed for the various func tions of the day and evening. The scramble for a fortune Is not the only object In life. The Englishman realties this; ao he lets the other man scramble and he wooes his daughter and enjoys domestic happiness and Ananclal Independence ever after.
