But these girls refuse to consid themselves livestock and decline mar riage without personal consent and with a bridegroom of decent appear- ance and sufficient education Most Formosan marriages are ar- ranged on the basis of the engagement money and the bride-to-be has little to say about the matter. There are young women who insist that the trouble with engagement money is that it is too high and de- sirable suitors are often away because they cannot pay the price demanded There is mugh in this argument which appeals to Formosan women, and a certain number of the less modern women are demanding that engage- ment money be radically reduced to & point where matriony will be easier of accomplishment for them The Formosans are polygamists.

Henrletta Hen turned her back on her questioner. “I knew you'd all want to have a look at these prize youngsters,” she said to the rest of the company. “You'll agree with me, of course, that there were never any other chicks as handsome as these.” Henrletta's neighbors all crowded “Well, what's all the Ladies! “This is the first hatched, isn't it?"
