| wandered about from town to town,
and from country to country, while
/ their ladies fair, with becoming docil-
| ity, shut themselves reiigiously within
| their bowers and passed the time in
dreaming of the yalorous deeds of their
lords. For many years, however, 1t has
! been permitted to women to pass back
and forth. to travel wherever their own
sweet wills might lead them, whether
| attended or not. and no one has looked
| askance or lifted an eyebrow. Now

| that portion of the paper descriptive

Mrs. McCrimmon then took UP the
| tale and in "A well-written paper told
the story of the trip to Yokohama and
