He instantly surveyed each and

HINDU WIDOWS WIN RIGHTS
Those of Highest Glass Arc
Now Being Allowed to
Marry.

From her role of half-tOy, half
slave to man, penned up in the seciu-
sion of the zenana (woman's apart
ments), the woman of Hindustan Is
rising to equality with man. India Is
daily getting anxious to accord its
women humane and just treat
ment Sex inequality had decreed
that while the widower was allowed
to marry, even permitted to indulge
in polygamy, the widow was forced
to remain a widow. This injunction
is no longer being faithfully obeyed.
Widows of the highest castles are be-
ing allowed to marry. Moreover, Hin
dus are making special efforts to es-
tablish homes where young and old
widows are kindly treated and taught
how to be nurses, doctors, teachers
and missionaries. The aim of these
institutions is to inspire the widows
to help toward the uplift of East In
dian society and also to make them
capable of supporting themselves in
stead of being charges on their rela-
tives, as has been the case hereto
fore.
Polygamy was never very common
in India, but today it is doomed. To-
day the woman of India is leaving the
privacy of her apartments, going to
modern schools for education and en-
tering the arena of public activity to
help along the evolution of Hindu
stan. Schools and colleges especially
designed for girls and neighborhood
centers meant for the advancement
of matured women are coming to be
pronounced features of East Indian
cities-Review of Reviews.
