rosy, when she is childless, when she steals, when she has a chattering tongue.
 To the last reason the explanatory clause is added: For the gabbling of woman often destroys the peace of families
 In mercy to the childless wife, this clause is added. If she is amiable and gentle she shall not be divorced, but husband shall adopt child, or, if his concubine have a child when his wife hath none, he shall not divorce her.
 At the end of all the reasons for di- vorce it is added. When a woman is once driven out of her husbands house it isSa great reproach to her
 F'ifth-When a girl is unmarried, she shall reverence her parents, but after marriage, her father-in-law and moth- er-in-law, more than her own parents. Morning and evening she shall inquire after the health of her fatherin-law and mother-in-law, and ask if she can be of any service to them, and, like wise, do all they bid her; and if they scold her. she must not speak, and if she shows an amiable disposition, fin ally they come to a peaceful settlement of their difficulties.
 Sixtn--The wife has no lord or mas ter but her husband; therefore, she must do his bidding and not refuse. The rule which women must observe is obedience When the wife converses with her husband she must do so with 6 smiling face and humble word, and not be rude. This is the principal duty of women; the wife must obey the hus- band in all that he orders her to do, and when he is angry she must not re- sist, but obey All women shall think their husbands to be heaven, so they must not resist their husbands and in cur the punishment of heaven.
 Seventh-All the husbands relatives are hers. She must not quarrel with them or the family will be unhappy; she must be on good terms with the wife of her husbands eldest brother Che being considered the head of the family)
 Eighth-The wife must not be jealous of her husband if he is unfaithful to her, but must admonish him in a gen. tie, kind manner. Of course when she is jealous, her anger will appear in her face, and she will be disliked and abandoned by her husband. When she admonishes her husband, she must al- ways do it with kind face and gen. tie words, and when he won't listen to her, she must wait till his passion is cooled and then speak to him again.
 Ninth-A woman must not chatter, nor revile any one, nor tell a lie. When she hears any slanderNshe must not repeat it, and so cause disputes amcng families.
 Tenth-A woman shall always keep to her duty, rise early and work till late at night. She must not sleep dur ing the day, must study economy, and must not neglect her weaving, sewing and spinning, and must not drink too much tea or wine. She shall not hear or see any such lascivious thing as a theatre or drama: before reaching the age of forty, women shall not go to those places, or to where many people collect, such as a temple or shrine.
 Eleventh-A wife must not waste her money in expensive clothing, but must dress according to her income.
 Twefth-When wife is young she shall not speak on familiar terms with any young man a relative of her hus- band, nor yet with his servant, as the separation between the sexes must be observed. Though there is important business she shall not write q letter to any young man.
 Thirteenth- The ornaments and clothing must not be splendid, but neat and clean so that she does not cause people to remark; but she will wear clothing according to her rank.
 Fourteenth-During such festivals as the first day or the third day of the bird month and the fifth day of the fifth month she must first visit her husbands relatives in preference to her own, and except her husband al- low her she shall not go out or give gifts to any one.
 Fifteenth-A woman does not suc- ceed her parents, but her father-in- law and mother-in-law therefore she must be kinder to them than to. her own parents. When woman is mar ried she shall seldom pay a visit to her own parents, only ;t messenger shall be sent; likewise tn other rela
