•J o go into the family history
Marshall Field , vas 011( , of th( .
greatest merchants that this country
has ever known. The Marshall Field
Company Is known throughout the
world.
With everything money could
buy Mr. Field was an unhappy man
He suffered many disappointments
in his family. His sorrows were
many. He had an only son and an
only daughter. His daughter. Ethel,
after divorcing her first husband.
Arthur Tree, of Chicago, fell in love
with an Englishman, Donald Beatty,
Henry and Marshall, the Young Grandsons of the Late Marshall Field,
the Chicago Millionaire.
and married him against her father's
'■ ishes. He refused to be reconciled
for several years, and often said
that his money was not going to be
left to any English grandchildren,
should any be born.
Later, in November, 1905, his son,
arshall, Jr., was killed by a gun
shot wound, self-inflicted. There
was no reason for him to commit
juicide. and his father made the an
nouncement that the affair was an
accident. He was happily married,
had three children and a wife both
beautiful and charming

At tuc nine of the tragedy Mrs.
Field was in Lakewood with Mar
shall third, who was a very delicate
child. Mr. Field was at his Chicago
home. While examining a new re

that he died six days later. Mr.
Field, Sr., never recovered from the
shock, and died two months later.
Four months before his death Mr.
Field had married Mrs. Della Caton,
his next-dooor neighbor for thirty
years. This marriage caused a slight
estrangement between Marshall,
Jr., and his father, tut It had been
overcome by the new Mrs. Field.
Mr. Field was a patriotic American.
He made his many millions in Amer
ica and he frequently said that ho
W'nnted them spent here. He wanted
his grandchildren to go to American
schools and colleges.
r.nowing his attitude toward for
eign influence the reading of his will
was awaited with great interest. The
conditions Impressed upon his trus
tees insured the keeping together of
bls vast fortune for forty-eight years!
Out of an estate of one hundred and
sixty millions, he directed that sev
enty-two millions should be held In
.rust until 1954. Then, on his six
tieth birthday, it Is to be turned
over to Marshall third, with Its ac
cumulations. * This seventy-two
millions brings in m annual in

is not to receive this outright until
he Is f.rtyfive.
One and one-half millions yearly Is
to be used for Ids legitimate ex
pe:.;.es under his trustees’directions,
until he is thirty years of age. The
overplus of his million and a half
is to be Invested and reinvested, and
the accumulation added to the sev-

lean schools and to enter Americas
business life.”
“We cannot pay Marshall Field’s
money to English school masters, nor
can we pay the expenses of an Eng
lish estate for these heirs,” was the
trustees' decision.
The Field boys and their little sla
ter. Gwendolyn, who will Inherit
eight millions some day, have no I
*Amerlcan associations. Their closest
companions are English boys and
girls, their daily companions are
their cousins, the Beatty children,
who are English through and
through. Gwendolyn, a pretty child
of eight, barely remembers her
American home and relatives
So far as Gwendolyn’s fortune la
concerned, there were no conditions
attached. She will receive it j n f u ,|

Mrs. Drummond’s dilemma is a
very real one. She dare not run the
risk of imperilling her sous' future,
consequently she Is continuing her
efforts to win the trustees to her side.
She will not give up her husband and
come to America to live. She will
not send her sons here without her.
What can she do?
