DIVORCE Is EASY.

The wife can simply bid the husband leave, and
he must do so. 1t is against every principle of
Laos manhood to remain minute after receiving
the command to go, and hears of a
husband returning to his wife in such a case, save
among the Christian converts, when it takes every
argument of the Christian missionary to bring it
about, and it requires the true grace of God the
part of the man to be able to do So
The husband can leave the wife at any time, if
he pays her the sum of twenty rupees; about
dollars!
No ground for leaving is necessary in either
case. No court will ever question the validity of
it. There is no law in regard to the children and
that often causes much trouble, and many heart
aches. Usually they remain with the mother, for
the home is hers. The women hold the homes, as
well the money bags.
Jealousy is something unknown among those
curious people and love, in the general acceptance
of the term, is to them incomprehensible The
Iadakhs live sort of Arcadian life. Stealing
murder other crimes are totally unknown and
this happy state of affairs must be attributed to
the benign influence of the womer whose power
there Is supreme.

The words are spoken clearly and distinctly and
usually the voice is pleasing. Time is picked on
a native instrument, called "a peear' the staff of
which is made of ebony, the strings of brass wire
and the plate which rests on the chest, is of the
half of cocoanut The tones very sweet,
and are not injured by the fresh flowers which
usually deck the staff. One is often awakened
from midnight sleep by some of these lovers pass
ing by and pouring out their souls in song.
Once awake, not sleep again until they
have heard the last notes of the voice and the
peear die away in the distance.
ATTENTION is NEVER SHOWN IN PUBLIC
to a maiden. No walks taken together. No
strolling to the sweetmeat stalls for treat. No
going to lakawns (theatres) to see the wonderful
dancing. Indeed, no! 1t would be highly i'm
proper, bold, and immodest. So the wooing is all
done on the veranda, where no harsher light than
the moons beams is found. If any passes
near enough to discern the features, the young
man instantly throws his scarf his head for
he sis ashamed" And yet, so soon as his foot
touches the homeward path, he procaims abroad
the beauties and virtues of the maiden, and the
depths of his love for her. Strange indeed, COM

tell the secret CD and ask the blessing. If it is

home and both receiving the blessing from the
mother and father of the bride.
There is no feast, no merrymaEing, no civil or

r1raHE following extracts from a letter written
by Miss Lillian Curtis, Christian mission
~ airy who spent some years at Lakawn IN
Laos is full of interest, is everything oriental
these days. Laos may be found on the map of the
Chinese Indian Peninsula. 1t is small province,
but has a population of over 100000 inhabitants
Romance holds sway in this land of warm skies
and heavily scented flowers. The beautiful maiden
loves to think as she dresses her long shining
black tresses of her dark eyed lover, who will
come to her when the sun goes down. And
in that evening hour as she sits waiting for him,
her heart bounds as the sound of his voice comes
to her from a distance, rising clear and distinct
to her above the sound of every other voice. 1t Is
her praises that he is singing to the accompani-
ment of the "peedf
Is she really more beautiful than crystal or the
twnkng stars over head? Can she be as dear to
him as his words say? No wonder her eyes deep
en- and glow with happy light. She is human.
So she gives her rich scarf throw across her
BOSOM and the flowers in her hair gentle touch,
and then waits his coming with an air as uncon-
cerned as any American maiden could assume.
Young people of Laos are allowed to exercise
their own wills in regard to their marriage They
are not promised away in their childhood by their
parents nor are they married to those whom they
have never SEEN No "gobetween" is needed
third party is unnecessary, and In the way.
As rule the Laos marry when very young.
There are no schools or colleges to be graduated
FROM nor fortune to be first won. So soon as
boy or girl reaches maturity, they begin to think
of a home for the love of home is deep rooted IN
this people The girl has by this time learned to
do ali the things necessary to running household,
for every wee maiden expects to be wife. There
seems to be no blanks in the lottery OF marriage
here.
Young man calls upon the girl of his choice
just as is done in America only 1t Is always IN
the evening hour. Until midnight he can remain
with propriety, but then he must leave, and as ne
does so he sings aloud praises of his love until his
own home is reached. 1t is more like chant

When Rose lifted her heavy eyes they looked
straight into the anxious face of Will Hayes.
But he forestalled her questions. "Hush!" he
said; "Ill tell you l couldn't bear it any longer,
Rose. I coming to say So when you I'm

summer. Helena was earning more than Rose
had earned. Alice the thrifty and energetic
housekeeper to whom her mother had at last been
persuaded to resign the dignity of office. The
doctor himself grew daily younger, his children
declared AS for Rose and Will, it was the opinion
of the family that they agreed too entirely to be
in the least interesting Indeed, they differed, ap-
parently upon only subject. Rose thought
that Will went almost too far in advocating the
right of women to work, and to be respected in
and for that work; and Will said that Rose was
much too conservative in her notions of the proper
submissiveness of wives to their husbands, and
would spoil any man less high-mnded than him
self.

has left his fathers house in the full sense of
the word. None of the family rice lands can be
his, nor any share in the fruit groves. He does
not even take to his new home bit of something
for the house; only few pieces of his own cloth
ing. Sometimes money is given to the maiden be-
fore marriage to buy some household article.
He is now son of his wfes parents and must
help cultivate their rice lands and his earnings go
to the general family support. 1t is many months,
sometimes years, before the young couple begin
to think of home of their own.
Among these people polygamy is unknown; but
the princes have many wives however there is
always a chief one.
