AUSTRIAN RULING.
WOMAN’S WEDDING DOWRY. Received May 15. 12.20 p.m. VIENNA, May 14. “Feminine curves are part of the dowry the bride brings to wedlock. She is not entitled to part with them without her husband’s consent,” declared the Judge in granting a divorce to a tailor who alleged that after ten years’ happiness, his wife had made life impossible by slimming. The husband said lie fell in love and married because his wife’s figure appeared the ideal of femininity; she was now a creature resembling a young man more than a woman.
