HINDOO CHILD WIVES.
Their Existence, from Cradle t,
Grave, Is One Of -Unspeakable
Horror and DeGraLatiOn.

A Hindoo grandmother, with a red
sahree drawn close around her, told her
life's story recently to 100 Chicago
mothers who had gathered in little
room in Handel hall to hearit.
1t was story that might have been
told in Nero's court while Christians,
burning like candles in their jackets Of
tar, were Illuminating the gardens
might have been told then because the
flames would have made perfect setting
for the story of Sukhiva Vannerjee. This
Hindoo grandmother's hair was as black
as ebony and her eyes were the eyes OF
youth with the fire of hope burned out.
The mothers who heard her story were
white-haired, many of them.
Twenty-one years ago Sukhiva Van
nerjee was married. She is now q years
old. The man who took as his bride g.
girl of six was oyer 80, was prosperous,
and belonged to midas high caste, as did
the child wife.
The woman told her story in broken
English. Now and then she was prompt
ed by Miss Josephine Holmes, Los
Angeles woman who brought her to
this country to arouse sympathy in
America in the movement to abolish the
child wife practice in India.
Here is the story that Sukhiva Vanner-
jee told:
She was six years old when her par
cnts announced that husband had been
selected for her. She did not see her
