MR. CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW tells, through the New York World, of the sacrifices his wife made when he was a poor young man. He says: “In those times the girl would give up something to the man she loved. She’d make sacrifices; she’d accept chances. In these days, owing to the society usages, ‘the higher ideals,’ the general extravagance of New York life, she is greedy, grasping, selfish. Her eyes, her heart, are centered on money, money—nothing but money. The evil is growing. The days when a girl of society or of the upper class married a poor man because she loved him appear to have gone forever—except in the country towns.”
