There are young women who in
sist that the trouble with engage
ment money Is that 1t Is too high.

kept away because they cannot
pay the pr.:e demanded. There
is much in this argument which
appeals to Formosan women, and
a certain number Of the less mod

engagement money be radically re-

will be easier Of accomplishment
for them.
The Formosans are polygamists.

And 1t is said that If engagement
money does not decrease soon the
habit of plural marriages will de-
crease. too, because very Few men

TAIwAN, Formosa, August 22.-
The world movement for women's
emancipation has struck Formosa
at a time when the high cost OF
wives il being felt severely. Tne
women, who are mostly OF the
Chinese race, are demanding the
abolition of the system of engage
ment money which is paid by their
suitors when the marriage con-
tract is made. declaring that the
payment of money to their parents
is an insult to their dignity and
position as free born women.
A young woman Of education,
graduate from a girls school,
commands as much as 1,50e to
1000 yen ($750 to $1,000) as en-
gagement money and such a sum
is a very desirable addition to the
family fortune these days. But
these girls refuse to consider them
selves live stock and decline mar
riage without personal consent and
with a bridegroom Of decent ap-
pearance and sufficient education.
