W"mrn carried furnitur. and baggage
and she had seen four women dragging
along . grand piano forte. The washing
If linen wa. all done by men: women
acted as mortar boys. carrying mortar to
their husbands. Her lidyship, having
referred Ia various native languages OF
southern India, went on to describe a
distribution of prizes which she wit
messed at a native girls school. She
was struck, she said, by the number of
jewels and bead ornaments; quantities
of chains, l,ckets, and bangles were
worn, some of these being of consider
able value. If native women were seen
in the streets, men Of their own race
made rude remarks as they went along.
She knew one beautiful native lady whose
husband allowed her to ''come ont" in
English society, and she was introduced
to the Prince of Wales. For q long time
she could hardly be got to converse, but
at last she began to do so. She was
glad to see her at last dining at the same
table as herself, and even joining in
square dances; and great credit, she
thought, was due to that lady's husband
for thus breaking through native pref
udlce. In the receptions of native ladies
by the Prince of Wales, the former had
to be concealed, and even the interpre-
tiers were not allowed to be seen. The
native houses of the better class in
Madras opened in front on the streets
with verandas, and there the men re-
ceived visitors. The women and chill.
dren lived in kind Of recesses or cup
boards, which were open neither to the
air nor to the sun, and it was no doubt
owing to that cause that there was 90
much illness among them. Widows were
treated very badly; their jewels were
taken away, their heads were shaved,
and for clothes they were only permitted
to wear scanty cloth. Her ladyship
then mentioned facts illustrating the
gratitude of native women for kindness
on the part Of English ladies. So strong
was their adherence to the custom OF
seclusiOn that If native woman saw her
child fall into tank on the opposite side
of the way, she would not cross over to
rescue it. The female children looked
bright and intelligent, but the women
were sad and apathetic. Native women
suffer greatly particularly in child
birth--tor want Of good doctors and
nurses, and she LADY Anna did not see
why English ladies should not supply
that defect. She hoped it would lie done
within few years. Generally speaking,
she thought the native men did not want
the females to be educated, one objec-
ti"n urged against education being that
if women had it they would require
more clothes and jewels. In concluding,
her ladyship observed that any improve
ment among the men would be very
much owing to improvement in the
minds of the women. She also spoke of
the clevsting effect of Christianity upon
the condition of women in India as else
where, and Of the wide and important
sphere of women generally, domestic
aud social, adding that il women were
lowered men must lie degraded, seeing
that men were what their mothers made
them.
