/. The oriental idea Of the freedom
which American women enjoy does not
accord with that of Americans. One
Hindoo lady expressed herself as great.
ly shocked that american men should
compel their women to go about In
public unprotected, their faces exposed
to the gaze of strangers, and Hindoo
gentleman with whom we talked thus
expressed himself on the subject OF
oriental treatment of women:
"You say that we do not honor our
women. Why, let me tell you that all
Hindoo boys, till they are ready to
learn the ways of men, are taught by
their mothers. We are subject to our
mothers, and we know what you occi-
dentals do not yet'seem to realize-that
to have good men and good citizens
we must have good mothers. You will
hardly find a Hindoo man, whatever
his caste, daring to go against the
counsel of his mother. Can you say as
much for American men"
Could as much, do our readers think.
be said for American men? There are
no asylums for helpless fathers and
mothers in the orient. So long as there
is corner and crust to be shared the
parents in the. oriental family have the
lions share.-Household.

three important points Which should
