Bv PROF. EMIL REICH

~ o ask for a dowry is considered

held - be a folly Many Il
young man in America Void feel
positively hur- should a dowry proper
be offered to bin; he does not mind
finding a nice check beneath his plate
at the wedding dinner.
That the practical abolition OF the
dowry system IN the United States is

proved completely from the effect %

In that rich and gifted country the
dowry Is considered to be. one OF the
chief elements OF social life.
The young man from twenty-five 70
thirty Is practically his own agent for
the attainment OF that boon. At balls.
In drawing rooms. In the parks, skaJ-
ing Kinks, he runs about smiling. talk
ing. capering. grimacing. and playing
social clown, all with the one intention
OF running down the emplest dowry.
Had ne during all these years, spent
one-thIrd OF the time thus wasted on
some work of serious and practical
energy, he would have made a sum
OF money larger than three dowries
such as he will get in the end.
This. however. he is not at all will

OF him with tears Of pride, his friends
declare him to be a "deucedly clever
chap" and on the day he is first to oe
seen on the public promenade with his
bashful young wife. he Is being looked
I'D TO as the champion in the great
game OF dowry hunting.
The consequence is that most yours
men in Hungary are without that

without which real SUCCESS In life is
uuattainable.
