The 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, a school, commands as much as 1500 to 2,000 yen ($750 to $1,000) as gn- 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 sufficlent ed: Most Formosan marriages are arranged on the basis of the en- gagement money, and the bride-tos be has little to say about the mat- ter. There are young women who in- sist that the trouble with engage- ment money Is that it is too high. and - desirable suitors are often kept away because they cannot pay the pr.te demanded. There is much in this argument which appeals to Formosan women, and a certain number of the less mod- ern women are demanding that engagement money be radically re- duced to a point where matrimony will be easier of accomplishment for them. The Formosans are polygamists. But the modern tendency is 1o re- main satisfled with only one wife. And it is sald that if engagement money does not decrease soon the habit of plural marriages will de- crease, too, because very few men can afford to purchase more than » t high price Emaline—Fox-Trot (McHugh) Unusually full orchestral ‘melody. win) Monaco) AlJocker's Orchestra “rose’ One of the best tions of the season. mn charmingly sung.

The labor members continue: “We are of the opinion that the American people will demand facilities for the purchase of light wines and beers and had the anti-saloon propaganda been in the direction of eliminating the more disgraceful features of the saloons, securing changed manager- R OO (Colin O’More) $1.25 0. 30134 10-inch $1.28 i of pre-War values - ship and more effectivé control, con= currently with the provision of facil- ities for obtaining these simple bev- erages, the bitter animosity ‘arous- ed by its more drastic efforts would THE EVENING' STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
