The North American Indian is not
without its proverbs. As with his civ
ilized brother, many deal with women.
The Iroquois Indians especially have
many proverbs about women which
are constantly heard about the long
houses. Many hit deep and many
miss, but the most ingenious one is,
Woman is somewhat of 6 mystery"
Here are some Of the Iroquois prov
cribs:
Lovesick woman scorns a feast.
Womanhood is mans salvation.
Woman on evil bent owns feet, not
wings.
Woman without shame is an impos-
sibility.
Women and hens are alike when
jealous.
womanhood and earth are both
mothers.
A woman of no account is a family
misfortune,
A lovable woman is her W guard
ian warrior.
Woman and ribbons futter in their
own atmosphere.
Woman is not revengeful; she is
the law of self-preservation.
A woman who is fond Of fnery sci
dom knows the beauty of nature.
A lovesick woman knows best her
complaint, though she signs to mys
tify her relations.
Girls should have sweethearts be
fore they marry, for love-making fol
lows to the end of our existence.
A woman's conduct based upon
mans desire and behavior is con.
temptible both to mankind and nature
