10 &c quite even Win her young man
for this reckless and lavish expenditure.
and also TO carry out the law which regu-
lates the general fitness and equality of
things. the Young woman sends the young
man a jewelled likeness OF herself And
this Is the way she does i:. In the end Of
. gold lead pencil she has a diamond set
similar TO that in her ring aud under
meath il, goes her own fair face. The young
man fastens the pencil upon his watch
chain and both OF the twain-the ardent
lover and the maiden fair-are ready for

those OF Ia Grippe.
England is agitating itself over our
dowry question. Shall or shall not an
American maid be turned over TO her
husband with naught but 1.-The presents"
her trousseau and five dollar bill for q
dowry, Shall she and must she have q
certain sum placed upon her head ere she
be considered eligible for the matrimonial
market
When the question Of money steps in
the old American independence idea of
true love steps out, and the whole system
of marrrins and giving in marriage be-
comes un -Americanircd To the orthodox
American mind a poneyed marriage is
nice thing, and when the maiden brings
wealth TO her husband it Is mighty nice
and mighty comfortable thing for all
concerned. But TO that same orthodox
American mind the consideration of
money fades into nothingness when
compared with the wcightier one of
love.
Unless she were possessed Of physical
and intellectual sympathy for the man
whom she was about to marry, our regu-
lation American girl would feel as il she
had been bought for a price, or bartered
for the dowry which had been set upon
her.
Sooner than place herself voluntarily
into such a state Of affairs our true blue
girl would skip of in secret with the man
of her choice and work her fingers to the
bone to keep the wolf and sheriff from
the door.
But could not true love and dowry
travel together?" asked our English
cousins
They could-but they seldom do. When
Cupid selects love poisoned dart, it 10
not often that both ends are tipped with
gold.
Our English cousins are used to having
their husbands chosen for them. 1t Is .
matter Of church, of family and Of state;
and should the marriage prove an impe-
cunious one, the aforementioned trinity
Of church, family and state arc willing to
combine to make the loss good.
With US IL is different. We know that
we are all born free and equal, and we,
one and all, reserve the right to marry
according to our sweet will. Should the
marriage be less prosperous and brilliant
than had been hoped, the American girl
has the pluck, the grit and the ability to
come nobly to her own rescue.
By all means give the girl a dowry, II
the money is in the family. But IL it
isn't give her . good education, . clear
conscience, good Judgment and loving
heart. And the dollars and cents shall
Be added unto her. CARRIE CARELESS.
