A JAPANEsE editor writes Of European
customs "If we observe the practice
of Europeans. 10 would appear that the
power of the wife ~ greater than that OF
iLe huohaud, aud that this error has
been brought about hy the want Of
correct view of the dictates Of nature.
We will point out examples of this. In
going through door the wife paEsos
first and the husband follows her, the
wife takes the best seat and the husband
the next best; in visiting, the wife is
first gnluted In forms Oi address, the
wife rs first mentioned. Moreover,
while men are in the company ui ladies
they must be particular IN their conver-
sation, aud are not permitted to smoke
without the ladies' permission being
first obtained. These aui like customs
arc inuumcrablo, and the power Of the
women is far greater than that Of the
men,"
