What Does It Cost a
Pretty Girl to Marry ?
Just what It costs a girl—a pretty
girl at that —to marry will be explain
ed in black and white to the Dauphin
county court.
Miss Miriam Finn, ward of David
Goldberg:, the old Union station in
terpreter, is the pretty girl in the case.
She has inherited a sum that amounts
to a little more than S9OO from her
parents' estate. She's only 19 and
wants to be married. However, it
costs a girl something to be married
nowadays, particularly if one wishes
to go in for the sort of ceremony one's
friends expect. And there's one'i
trousseau. A girl just can't be mar
ried nowadays without a thing to wear
—so there!
Miss Finn, through her counsel, At
torney Victor Braddock, yesterday aft
ernoon asked President Judge Henry,
to allow her S4OO to "buy some
things." The court gravely pointed
out that S2OO should be sufficient.
So Mr. Braddock withdrew his peti
tion and set the wheels of the house
of Finn in sufficient motion to obtain
a detailed list of the gowns and—
well, other things that go to make up
a proper trousseau. This will be pre
sented to court later to support the
S4OO request.

Harrisburg Is Grasping
Newer Building Ideas
In the current issue of Housing Bet
terment, the official publication of
the National Housing Association, John
Ihlder, secretary, who made a recent
investigation of this city, criticises
Harrisburg builders for "piling their
families in the air."
According to the article, Harrisburg
"li< an old city which has inherited the
row house of England, a characteristic
.of cities from Southern New Jersey
'to Virginia, as it was of those farther
north before the tenement house of
New York and Northern New Jersey
and the three-decker of New England
displaced it." „
"Harrisburg is just beginning to
break away from this inheritance In
some of its newer additions, where
groups of semidetached or twin houses
with small spaces are being erected.
But along with this good tendency a
bad one is evident. In the older sec
tions of the city where single family
houses are now packed as closely as
they can he the builders have sought !
the temporary profit that comes from
piling families in the air, in apartment
and tenement houses."
