SOCIAL LIFE IN CHINA.--In China
man and wife never walk together arm
in arm in public, nor even side by side,
but the wife always follows her lord at a
respectful distance, as the women do
among the American Indians. AT So
cial parties the sexes sit at different ta-
bles, occupy separate rooms, and visit
only among themselves. Strangers of
opposite sexes are never introduced, nor
do the women ever speak to the men, un-
less relatives or very intimate associates
of the family. There is no such thing
as social life, in our sense of the word,
among the Chinese. And all their So
cial and domestic theories and practices
are based on the idea of woman's infe-
riority and insignifcance. She is re-
garded only as servant and an under
ling, and in no sense fit to be a compan-
ion and equal of man. She feels her in.
feriority, and in the main submits cheer
fully to her fate. The idea of woman's
rights has never entered her mind
So thoroughly is this feeling of inferiori-
ty ingrained in her nature that in the
only book ever produced in China by a
female author, the proposition is gravely
stated and elaborately argued and illus.
trated, that woman was made for the
same purpose that tiles are-for men to
tread upon" They are astonished to see
the freedom and equality allowed be.
tween the sexes among Europeans, and
argue strenuously against it; and when
vanquished in the argument, they reply
with their usual stubbornness and peril
nacity: MAY be good for Mclean man;
for China man no good. Since the COM
ing of European ladies into China, some
of their own women have begun to en-.
tertain some little idea of their rights
lard it has now become proverb among
the men, that "the two most dangerous
things that can be imported into Chins
are foreign women and foreign gunpow
der" Yet on the whole the weaker ser
are rather kindly treated, and in gene
raj are not much abused.
