IS DOWRY TO COME BACK? Some Indications That There Is to Be a Return to This Very Old Custom. A woman of New Jersey has died and in her will left a dowry to young women about to be married, dower loss. The dowry cunaiata of $200. .In our great-graiidmother'a day It was customary for all brides to liuve dowries The bride had a cheat of linen apparel and housekeeping things in linyn of her own wearing and sew ing No young man married a dower loss bride, If "he had no lands. she at leant had the thrift though mani fested in the work of her own lianda, and with which to sanctify the home. Shi> had? no? ribbon Ikwh on Inrr- tiTF" derwear, no ln-itnd-out baby ribbon or anything that would not wash and Iron. Tiie thought was all different. That was the time when droHH mate rials were esteemed because they were all wool, a yard wide, and would wash It's all quite different nowa days ' ? The New Jersey woman willed $200 dowries t < i al I Jewish girls who apply for the nev.r ten years. This may re Hult in tin- dowry fad as an induce ment to \ oung men toward matri* | niony The dowry is a demonstration of thrift It is encouraging. i Blucher Solved Problem. L One hundred years ago the pleni potentiaries <>r the allied nations were conferring on the future of Kurope after the overthrow of Napoleon, which now seemed inevitable. The in vasion of Franco, whieh was the lirst great task undertaken bv the allies, had been accomplished, and there now remained only the march upon Paris. So far the coalition had accomplished its work well. Hut at this point the Jealousies of the allied nations began to come to the surface. The most of the plenipotentiaries favored pushing on to Paris without delay. Hut the Austrians were not eager to hasten the advance of the armies and thus in sure the triumph of Russia and the passionate vengeance of the Prussians. At, this juncture Marshal Hlueher swtved the problem by boldly continu ing bin advance on the French capital without waiting for the plenipoten tiaries to agree. Lawmaker Mixc3 Metaphor.
