WOMEN IN DAYS. OF PHARAOH
Marriage Contract Shows That Ladies
Of Egypt Were Not Unduiy
Oppressed.

Most of us make the acquaintance OF
Egypt In the splendidly dramatic story
Of Joseph and his brethren. and so
look on Pharaoh and his people as
gloomy and malign prosecutors, fit
only to be swallowed up in the Red
sea waves. Or we read Of the graves
and sober monuments of the Nile val
ley, with their perpetual reminders OF
death and the kingdom OF night; with
th (, result that we are hardly prepared
to realize the gay and lightsome side
of the ancient Egyptian life, or to
credit the thought that those tomb
builders could ever break into a
smile. But there was side of gayety
and of charm, and just as we are find
ing that SO many of our deeper and
more philosophical thoughts go back
to the people of the Delta, so we are
beginning to discover the originals of
all our jokes in the buried cities OF
the Nile.
That ladies were not unduly on
pressed In the land OF the Pharaohs.
We may gather from this marriage
contract, from q fourth-century Demo
tic manuscript, but dating in form to
tar older times:
81" says the Lady Iris, take thee IS
my husband. Thou makest me thy
wife. and givest me, in token of dover,
-flve-tenths of silver. II discharge
thee as my husband, hating thee and
loving another more than thee. shall
give and return to the two and a
half tenths of silver, Of what thou
gavest me as my dover. and I cede
unto thee all and everything that |
shall acquire with thee, one-third part.
rs long as thou art married unto me-"
Not even Chicago or Reno can boast
of franker marriage contract than
that; and there is something wonder
fully naive in the idea of the good lady
Isis "discharging" her lord. on the
ground that she hates him and loves
another better. The sum she returns
him, as part of her now Cancelled wod.
or. Is about equal to a silver dollar.
