A Nebraska girl writes home from
California that the stories about rich aud
speedy marriages for women in that Ell
Dorado are pure humbug. There are
more men than women, but in her opin-
ion most Of them have run away from
marital bonds elsewhere. "a woman"
she says, is Of less consequence here
than anywhere in the world. The Chi
nese do most of the washing and ho1se-
keeping. and work at about the same
wages that girls and women would find
necessary. There is mighty little mar
rying and giving in marrige here. The
men don't seem to be anxious about it,
and the girls are so well up to snuff that
they won't encourage man till they
know all about his former life and make
sure he hasn't o surplus wife OF two
somewhere East" She is going back to
Nebraska.
