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.
Ja'iues Ha in say Macdonald. M P.,
has added a gem to the collection of
mixed metaphors for which political
I oialors are famous Referring t<? the
[ sy nlicallats, Mr Macdonald said ,
No Sooner do they get themselves!
into a hoi** Man they put down ?
a string su that the> may pull them I
out of it The l>elilah of syndicalism!
has endeavored to cut the locks of |
trades unionism, so that it becomes a |
mere piece of putty in the hands of
the political authorities."
This is declared to be the most mag
nitlcent mixing of metaphors by an
Knglish public man since John J
Hums inveighed against the London j
co'unty council for "taking a white do- ,
pliant under its wing "
