The following are como of the Chinese
sayings in respect to women:
I Respect always a silent woman; great
is the wisdom of the woman that holdeth
her tongue.
A vain woman is to be feared, for she
will sacrifice all for her pride.
Trust not a vain woman, for she Is first
in her own eye.
A naughty woman stumbles for she
cannot see what may be in her way
Trust not the woman that thinketh
more Of herself than another; mercy will
not dwell in her heart.
The gods honor her who thinketh long
before opening her lips. Pearls como
from her mouth.
A woman that is not loved is kite
from which the string has been taken;
she drives with every wind and cometh
to naught but a long fall
A woman and a child are alike; each
needs strong. uplifting hand
A woman that respects herself is more
beautiful than a single star; more beau
tiful than many stars at night.
Woman is the ease for that which
pains the father; she is balm for his
troubles

never return to where she first was; the
path has been covered up from her eyes.

is not trustworthy; fear the glance from
her eye
Give heed to her to whom children have
come she walks in the sacred ways and
lacks not love
When first woman loves she fears;
she fears not that to which she has
become accustomed.

children is an enemy OF the state; she
should not live within the kingdom
wall.
A woman without children has not yet
the most precious Of her jewels.
Give heed to the voice of an old woman:
sorrow has given her wisdom.
A beautiful woman knows not her
charms, therefore is she beautiful, more
so than the colors of the sea
Speak not i'll of any woman; If
woman be not righteous what she is
speaks for itself
Like sheep that be leaderless are many
women come together for much talk
Throughout Morocco and especially in
Tunis, the capital city, many of the adult
members of the population follow pro-
