Elements" says the young French giri who
has been enjoying freedom unheard OF pc
fore the stress OF war. and who has enjoyed
that freedom immensely. THE war mas
brought the young men and women ol
France in more friendly contact than ever
before. In pre-war days II was not ntting
that young girl should ever be alone WIN
n young man. Even the unmarried woman
OF thirty-five must not be alone with a man
unless she wished to be considered oao
form But now, since women have peeh
doing war-work. nursing officers, replacing
men-workers, romance has ripened, en-
gagements have come TO pass without the
family permission, and we girls repei

with dowry."
OF course. we all know that the marriage
with dowry was not originated merely TO
advance the interest and comfort OF the
young people themselves 1t was for the
sake of the unborn children, to promote
the welfare of the family, and the tradition
of the family is one of the strongest In
France.
If the doweress marriage becomes

as indeed II probably will--then the State
will probably do something TO help the

Clothes are very expensive IN Germany

OVERLAND
 FUTS OUT NEW CAR

The Willys-Overland company of Toledo, Ohio. is now building q stag 8ered-door type of conS ertible sedan body on it's Willys-Knight four chassis.
 The doors in this type of body are placed so that the entrance for the passengers is located in the middle of the car on the right side, giving the passengers an unobstr,,eted passage way to their seats.
 The drivers door. however, is at the front of the car, on the left side, so that he interferes with no one when he enters or leaves the automo- bile.
 Up to the time of the introduction of this type of body, the convertible sedans were equipped with doors on each side in the middle of the car.
 It is expected that the installation of staggered doors will add to the popularity of the Willys-Knight se- dams, which already have become one of the most-admired types of the comprehensive WillysC Overland line.

prove victorious, Montenegro would be either incorporated with Austria, o1 else it would be awarded to Prince William of Wied, to serve as a prov ince of his reconstituted kingdom of Albania. If, on the other hand, final victory rests with the quadruple en- tente, Montenegro, which is peopled in the main by Serbs, will be assigned to the kingdom of Serbia, a plan which would meet with no opposition what ever on the part of the Montenegrin people, who have long been dissatis- fled with King Nicholas and more so with his sons.
 A large question mark symbolizes the situation with regards to the fu- ture of King Ferdinand, who ascended the throne of Rumania on the death of his uncle, King Cahrles, on Oct. 10, 1914, and entered the war on the side of the allies on August 27 last. Four months later the Austsro- German Bulgar conquest of Rumania was con- plete and Ferdinand had joined the list of kings without throne.
 Too recent to need review are the events in Russia that caused the ab- dication of Emperor Nicholas and the remuneration of their rights to the throne by the other members of the imperial family. That Nicholas never again will be the ruler of "All the Russians" or even part of them, is a foregone conclusion. When peace is restored the Russian imperial family probably will take up their residence in foreign land, probably in Eng land or in France.

EUROPEAN RULERS. THRONES TOPPLE
 AS WAR RESULT
Revolution ill Russia Causes Wonder as to Identity of
 Next Autocracy to Fall.

The recent upheaval in Russia, long
 regarded as the European stronghold
 of absolutism, has set the man in the
 street to wondering who will be the
 next king to be thrown into the dis
 card in the great game of war. l Not since the era of the Napoleonic wars has the world been treated to the
 spectacle of so many toppling and tottering thrones as has been furnish ed since the beginning of the present conflict in Europe.
 In chronological order, the moment ous changes that have taken place among the rulers of Europe since the beginning of the war may be sum- | marized as follows:
 Belgian monarchy overthrown by the German invasion at the very com- mencement of the war. King Albert and the other members of the royal family fled to France. For the last two years the Belgian king and queen have remained near the front in the western theater of war, while their children have been cared for in Eng land. King Albert's restoration to the throne depends altogether upon the ul- innate triumph of the Allies. In such an event he may safely look forward to restoration of his dominions with a large accession of territory to com- penstate him for the sufferings he has endured. Victory for the Germans, on the other hand, could mean noth- ing else to him than permanent exile. Whichever way the game results, how ever, the Belgian king will be entitled to niche in history as one of the most heroic figures of the war.
 The throne of King Peter of Serbia tumbled when the central allies in- vaded his dominions in the latter part of 1915. In behalf of the aged ruler it may be said that he led his people in a valiant denfense, continuing to give battle until the last Serbian stronghold had fallen before the in- vading teutons. In the end he narrow ly escaped capture by fleeing on horse back. The probability of his ever again taking up the sceptre at Bel grade is regarded as exceedingly re- mote. If Serbia is restored as an in- dependent kingdom it will be under the sovereignty of some one other than King Peter. It is we'll under stood that the exiled monarch has no desire to return to the throne. It is his wish, when peace returns, to re- tire to private life in Geneva where he spent many years before called to the Serbian throne and where he still has many friends.
 The return of peace will have noth- ing in store for King Nicholas of Mon- tenegro, no matter which group of powers win. Should the two kaisers
