A JAPANESE editor writes of European
customs: "If we observe the practice of
Europeans. ii would appear that the pow
er of the wife is greater than that OF the
husband, and that this error has been
brought about by the want of correct
view of the dictates of nature. We will
point out examples of this. In going
through door the wife passes first and
the husband follows her: the wife takes
the best seat and the husband the next
best; in visiting, the wife Is first saluted /;
in forms of address, the wife is first
mentioned. Moreover, while men are in
the company of ladies they must Je par
ticular in their conversation, and are not
permitted to smoke without the ladies'
permission being first obtained. These
and like customs are innumerable. and the
power of the women is far greater than
that of the men,"
