IMPORTANCE OF THE DOwRY
The French View and the English
View of 1t Are Entirely
Different

? Would it be an advantage for the
English girl to have a dowry? The
custom is deeply rooted in France,
where few marriages are contracted
in which the bride has not a dowry,
ever in the very lowest classes.
The parents of French girls will
stint and ~starve, If necessary, to pro-
vide a dot for each of their daugh-
tiers, or if that is not possible will
combine all their savings to enable
one to make a good match. What
does the English girl think of the
matter? Her emotions are somewhat
mixed. On the one hand, for the
sake of her independence she would
like to feel that she did not go emp
ty handed to her husband, and on the
other she would not willingly aban-
| don the cherished certainty that she
is loved for herself alone, says the
| London Telegraph.
1t would be idle to pretend that
| England is free from the fortune
| hunter. But to take the average mid
| dle-class girl-for she is the person
most concerned in this questionable
young Englishman does not marry
her for her money, for the very goot
reason that as a rule she has nj
money to marry for. Her. father
may be in very comfortable circum
stances, and may leave her a rount
sum at his death, but the suitol
has rarely expectations of benefit saw

Many farmers do not appreciate
the value of good tools to work with.
With manufacturers it is different.

A Sunday school teacher in Carthage, Ill.,
