NOVEL DOWRY SCHEME.
FRENCH COUNTRY GIRLS. KEEPING THEM FROM TOWNS. (Received 0.35 p.m.") Sun. PARIS, Aug. 29. The French departmental councils advocate the granting of dowries to country girls in order to prevent them going to the towns. The suggestion is that each girl should be insured at birth for £IOO, that sum to be payable when she reaches the age of 21, on condition that it be used on her marriage as a payment toward securing a home.
