Merely a Matter of Money.

A very eminent Philadelphian, now deceased, had two daughters married in another city. One of these ladies was very fond of society and of having a good time. On one occasion her husband made a trip to Philadelphia and saw her father and told him that really there was such a thing as going beyond moderation and he feared he would be compelfed to break up and send the daughter back to Philadelphia to the parental home. To this the old gentleman responded in his quiet way that he was very sorry, as he was just on th«. point of making arrangements to reffie quite a sum of money upon his daughter, realizing that he was growing old and that it must be difficult for hfer to sustain her social position adequately. Upon hearing this a decided change is said to have come over the complaining husband. He had to acknowledge, he said, that there were many fine qualities which could not be overlooked, and although she had been a great trial to him, yet if the father really felt this great interest in her, he, as her husband, would try to overlook her eccentricities and bear with her a little longer. He did, and nothing more was ever heard of the matter. —Philadelphia Times.
