purpose is to provide dowries to wor-
thy German orphan girls who marry
worthy men. At present it's fund is
large enough to furnish every year six
teen dowries of one hundred dollars
each but the founder expects that in
a few years the society will have a
fund of one million dollars, sufficient
to make wedding present of one hun
dred dollars in gold, every year, to four
hundred worthy but parentless German
girls. No regard is to be paid to the
creed of the orphan, who may be mar
ried by any religious ceremony she de-
sires, provided she is first joined to her
husband by public civil ceremony.
The societys board of directors will be

hundred Christians. Already six or

man Catholic and three Hebrew-have
been asked to select suitable applicants
