TRENCH MAIDS SC0RN :
 "GOOD GIRL" D0WRIES
S1O0 Awards for Long Hair, Regu- lar Church Attendance, etc., in Disfavor Among Girls.

Paris, March 2S P-Dowries, the backbone of the French marriage system, arc going begging.
 The Paris Poor Relief has six $400 doNries d year to award to maids who measure up to certain conditional standards, and many other cities have similar funds, some with prizes of S1,4O0. But there are few takers.
 Many of the dowries are hedsed with conditions to which the pre- war girl subscribed but which cause the T30 feminine model to laugh with disdain. There are dowries for those who wear their hair long. or 20 to church regularly, or help with the housework, or support their parents and all place a time limit on marriage.
 Still there are hundreds of these awarded each year, many of them to 'rosieres. This is the term ap- piled to girls chosen in villages or towns as the most worthy and who arc crowned with roses at 8 public ceremony.
 This custom is 15 centuries old It originated with St. Medard bishop of Noyon, and wealthy fol those days. He set aside part ol his property for this purpose and in 525 at Salency crownc his sister who was chosen by the village as worthy of her clerical brothers bounty. The custom still continues there and has spread 10 other com munlties.

 by RICHARD STARR

Synopsis: Lavishly endowed by nature with beauty and charm Jac- queline Grey felt that life should be full of adventure for girl at 19. She dreamed of sojourns in the world of the wealthy, enjoying their company and pleasures. Perhaps she never would have realized it il she had not beneyolently aided Old Dobbin who sold shoelaces outside Byrams where she was employed as a model. But Dobbin, legally James Booker, remembered and when life looked darkest-jobless and nearly penniless-word came to Jacqueline he had died and left her 500 pounds. Jacqueline did not hesitate. She en- saEed a luxurious suite at the Ma jestic Hotel. one of London's finest hostelries and lived a life of ease. What sweet triumph. Strolling into Byrams where the suave Mir. kes- wick Dell, who had discharged her
 superintended the showing of the latest gowns while their new patron, the rich Miss Grey looked upon the scene through laughing brown eyes.

Meistersin6er and Gotterdam.
 merung On His Program

Joseph c. Beebe, organist, pre- scnted recital of Bach and Wag- ner music in the South Congrega- tional church last night at o'clock.
 The care with which the program was planned was indicated by the appearance of the Prelude and Fugue in c Major, containing the source of the Wagnerian 'Meister- singer motif and the Prelude to Die Meistersinger as well as the Intro duction to the third act of that opera.
 The Bach prelude and fugue. the former being in nine-eighths time, served to show Mir. Beebe's ability to interpret the most difficult works of the greatest of German compos- CTS who was famed for the mathe- nautical perfection of his compost tions. Those who hold that this re- gard for mechanical perfection and technique hamper the music were disproved by the next portion of Mr. Beebes program which consist ed of six Bach chorales appropriate
 
 to the penitential Lenten season.
 "From God I Ne'er Shall Stray written by Bach in his old age, was played effectively. This was follow ed by By the Waters of Babylon which called for the use of double pedal throughout, an effect, how ever. hardly perceptible to the aver age layman.
 Pedal Suspension
 'Tamb of God. Our Saviour" When On the Cross the Saviour Hung" and See the Lord of Life" selections from the famous Little Organ Book" followed. In When on the Cross the Saviour Hung" the pedal suspensions added consider ably to the effect. In 'See the Lord of Life" the composer had in mind the scourging of Christ at the pill lar and his musical interpret atiol of this great dramatic episode is extremely touching. The best of the chorales was 70 Man, Thy GrievouS Sin Lament" said by many to be the best of Bach's religious chor- ales.
