Dancers In DANCING.

Dancing has been extolled as a mosl
healthful recreation; as a means of
physical culture it favors the develop
ment of the muscular system and pro
notes health and cheerfulness. And
dancing is carried on by women whose
fashion of dress is of such a nature as
to injuriously affect one or the othe,
organ of the body.
Young girls appear to experience nc
fatigue after 1t. They will not miss a
single waltz. polka or square dance,

of pulsations is far in excess of the

Lure Of the Club.

It is not at all true, as some people
aver, that the lure Of the club Is the

there or its aloofness from the re
straining eye of critical womankind
But it is true that it represents the
highest development along lines of
physical comfort as this is known and
sought for by the animal man, and II
the ladies, on the few days OF the
year when they are admitted within
the doors of these sanctuarles Of
masculine luxury, would study what
they see there they would speedily be

Most conspicuous among these will be

Mary. That makes them worth taking
stock of As brothers of the Princess of
Wales they didn't count for much. They
occupied back seats at court. Now they
are to be assigned to front seats. That
is indicated by the news that has been
allowed to leak out unofiicially. but none
the less authoritative-that their rank is
to be raised from that of serene high
nesses to that of royal high-esses. Serene
highnesSes are only a species of courtesy
highnesses and in the order of precedence
come below most of the English nobility.
But royal highness is the real thing.
Queen Mary is very fond of her broth

of the Duke of Connaught, the late

imposed upon any nation. white or b!ack,

You have heard how in the past the
widows threw themselves on the funeral
pyres of their husbands and burned them
selves TO death. In 1904 the British gov
eminent kept count, and its records
showed that 300 women had so inundated
themselves within thirty miles of CAL
cutta in the space of six months In the
next twenty-five years more than 10000
were so burned, and 1t was not until long
therea fter that the custom was stopped.
This burning was called "sllttee,' and it
is questionab BILE whether it was not prefer
able to continued widowhood. which Is
now known as cold suffice. The widow is
daily with want, disgrace ard shame; her
predecessor was happy in that she died

Marriages in INDIA are always drfdHSe1
by the parents. They are a matter of
bargain and sale. and the father of the
boy gets the money. At present the price
has risen and one of the native news
papers is demanding that the parents of
bows come down on the dowries they ask
for their sons. They say that the parents
OF the brides cannot stand the charges,
and that the extortions are disgrace to
the country. Every Indian father is anX-
ious to marry eff his daughters. and. &C
cording TO the HindOo religion, he will be
punished if he does not. \ man whose
daughter becomes an old maid must eX-

he was still a schoolboy. He had run
short of pocket money and had applied
to his grandmother. Queen Victoria, to
help him out. Instead of cash the dear
old lady sent him lecture on economy
and thrift. pointing out how desirable it
was that these saving virtues should
early be inculcated in prince. To
which the boy sent this reply:

educated in England and for time she
was professor Of Sanscrit il one OF the
colleges there. Her school at Poona has
has been running for years and IL IL
doing great good. All Of the pupils ara
child widows. and some OF the little ones
are only five or SIX years OF age. Many
are Young girls. and others are full
grown women. Ia that school they are
taught reading, writing and Arithmetic.
AID also such arts as viii fit the pupils
TO make their own living outside. They
learn to sew and embroider. and also
understanding and trained nursing

the school and some of the women
learn dair! Zig and sheep raising. Many
Of the graduates are already earning
good salaries. some are teachers, others
matrons Of institutions. and not few
have married gain Some have become
missionaries.
Our missionaries arc accomplishing
much for the women OF India, also
those of Great Britain The work can
be only done by the women, az men are
not allowed 10 go into the womens
quarters or TO speak to them. There ara
about fifteen hundred females among the
missionary population, and the NEST or
these do more or less work. There are
l3S foreign woman physicians and NJ
merous hospitals and schools. There are
two Christian colleges. and in Madras
alone more than one hundred thousand
girls are going to school The girls are

well as our girls at home. 4 number
of them entered the university and some
of the daughters of the higher classes
have graduated not only at the colleges
Of India, but at those Of England. and are
now acting as lawyers and doctors.
AS to the government schools. those for
girls are increasing, although they are
still far outnumbcred by those fer the
men. For instance. India now has 10000
boys schools. with about .oo0,o1o pupils.
and only 1890 girls schools, with GooOo
in attendance. The percentage of illit-
eracy among the women is far greater
than among the men. In all India there
are less than one million women who can
read and this means about one in every
80. On the other hand, about one man
in every ten can read. and large per
centage can both read and write. The
officials tell me that only about % per
cent Of the boys of school age go to
school and less than > per cent of the
girls.
One of the crying needs of this country
is medical attendance, and especially doe
tors for women. Lady Dufferin started
movement of this kind and Lady CurZon
aided in carrying il on. The customs and
caste distinctions of India are such that
only woman doctors can treat the native
women. and the great need is lady mis-
siouaries who have good medical educa-
tons The first female doctor came in
1870. and there are now many. There
are however. a half million villages and
towns which have no resident physicians,
and the women a rule have practically
no efficient medical attendance.
