The probability of marrying riches is reduced to a minimum l Then one in making a computation with this factor of riches m view must bear in mind that nature never forgets its compensatory re- ' and that if a man is given the talent to accumulate money he is deprived of some of those finer traits which command the respect and admiration of women. A moneygrubber is selfish. He is not likely to be chivalrous nor benevolent. She will take a greater risk than the man who weds for money, because the man expects nothing more than the gold. But the woman, with her ideal nature, expects not only the riches but all those attributes that elevate a man in the eyes of the opposite sex.
