Tie-re ike Wtaei Ar? 0*11**4 te Have Seme FlaaasliU Reeeereee Wkra Tker Mexry-Tke Ceet mt Ae ?mirlm?7 a XUit**? Mukui. In BavariA every giri ie expected to get married. Ask & Bavarian, and he will tell ri? that lt la Impossible for a portionless maid ea ts And a husband. If a giri has ao money for a dowry, therefore, she sets herself st work to save one. Marriage U Germany U nearly en? tirely a matter of business. The father of the giri aanounc-s the anni which ia to go with her, while the papa of the prospective husband holds out for more, That is the first stage of the negotiations. Little bj little each yields to the other. Finally, often after months of delay, the contract Is drawn up with minute specifications by a notary, and then the lovemaking may begin. The courtship is very circum? scribed and is probably not altogether satisfactory, for the German maiden ia a romantic creature, and the opportuni? ties she has for getting acquainted with her husband before marriage are very meager. The parental supervision Is so Inbred in the nation that even the government takes a hand in It with its servants. A German army officer ia a splendid crea? ture to the eye, but his pay is very small, ranging from a matter of $5 a week for a lieutenant to $50 a week for a full fledged general. In order to prevent the possibility of seediness in appearance or atyle of living the gov? ernment forbids an officer to marry un? less he deposits a certain sum-it is $20,000 for a lieutenant and becomes gradually lees for eitch higher grade with the authorities, the income of which is doled out to him semiannual? ly. This is in reality putting a price on the man, because the greater number of German officers are very poor and can get the money required only from their brides. The money which a wife brings to her husband, unless there Is an express notarial stipulation to tho contrary, be? comes absolutely the husband's proper? ty. Woman in the eye of the law has practically no rights except such as her husband may allow her. He treats her very often a?, merely a piece of live stock. If the woman rebels, which she does very rarely, he displays a very short temper and an aptness for wield? ing a poker or a walking stick in a use for which they were never meant. In a German newspaper one may al? ways find a column devoted to matri? monial announcements. There ls no romance in these advertisements. The man tells how much money he has ?nd how much he wants. The woman names her dowry to the very pfennig. Very often the man has no money at all and expresses his desire to marry into a business, but the woman knows that it is useless to advertise at all un? less she has some money, if it amounts only to $100 or so. which may be re? garded as the lowest sum worthy of consideration as a mitglft On thc other hand, it is tbe woman's privilege to name the calling which she prefers the man should follow. She usually chooses au official clerk or por? ter, a policeman or a car conductor, all of whori hs ve tenure of office and an old aje pension. She has moro of an eye to stability than to ambition. - It is in the so called higher clcsses o* society thai one finds the baldest and most businesslike matrimonial trans? actions. There are few young* men of this class who have either money or any prospect of makins any etherwise than by a wealthy marriage. When they inherH fertanm. it I* th? ftt*hian to dissipa?* them, and whasi they don't inherit it Is against the prejudice* of their educatioa and training to seek emplo-ymeat ar ts engage is any kind of business. Therefore most of them enter the ar? my while waiting for a rich bride. Daughters of rich brewers and mer? chants are acceptable to these gentle? men, but their great and persistent dream is to capture an American heir? ess. They confess the matter frankly to any one and every one who will lis? ten. Traveling American heiresses are not so plentiful in Germany as in France and Italy; still, they are to be found. It would seem, however, that notwith? standing the fact that German titles are st leajt a little more valuable than tho** of tte Latin ewuntpi** tney d? not possess the same glamour in femi? nine eyes. because the German title captures the American bag of gold comparatively rarely. Perfcapa it is be? cause the Teutonic wooing ia more ar? rogant and supercilious tl aa i ns* H flat? ing. Of all countries Germany ia perhaps that in which roinauticlstn flourishes most.
