THE BEST WIVES IN THE WORLD.
The men in South America hold their
women in highest respect Not only do
they accord them the polite distinction
of outward difference. but they guard
them with an earnest solcitude that pro-
tects them from every care, and they
bear for them every burden that man
can carry for woman. The chivalry of the
olden time survives among these people,
and that Is doubtless one reason why
the women are so contented wiz their
lot A charming sonora assured me that
the South American women make the
best wives in the world, and l do not
doubt It. After marriage the woman Is as
one lost TO the world. Her career is fin
ished so far as matters outside her domes-
tic affairs are concerned. Her sphere of
influence is henceforth inclosed within
the triple courts OF her husbands house,
and consists in bringing up her children
and I'm exercising a mild sovereignty in
her domestic domain. There are no mar
ried firts in South America. no scandals
caused by unfaithful wives, no ambitious
women pining I'm their secluded homes, 80
far as Is known. There are no woman's
rights conventions. no woman's temper
ance societies, no daughters. no mothers
meetings. There is not even woman's
whist Club In the whole country. The wife
knows nothing of the family finances,
and she Is not consulted in the considera-
ton OF her husbands serious affairs. The
question may well be asked by the women
OF the United States, What I'm the world
do these women do with their time? and
the answer is that their days are quite
as full OF activities, mental and physical,
as they wish them to fje. South American
women do not crave-the freedom and the
publicity of life they see enjoyed by their
sisters In this country. They prefer the
seclusion with the protection OF their own
method of life. They are very charitable
too, and are kindness itself TO tho poor
people i'm their ncighborhood. as they send
portions OF bread and meat every day 10
their poor neighbors.--Mary Nimmo Bal
entinc in the August Woman's Home
Companion.
