America. Well I remember case
which happened some years ago. He
was wealthy. whimsical. tyrannical and
self-centered. She was fanciful. high

last she refused to live with him. He
on his part refused to give her his per-

husband instructed the police to send
his fugitive wife home and invoked the
law in his favor. The lady was accord
ingly requested by the authorities to re-
turn to her husband. She refused. There
upon the authorities became quiescent.
For in Russia, to their credit be 1t said

even the police dislike such dirty work
as this. But the husband again moved

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, July s, 1911.
The Firms are believed by many to
have wandered to northwestern Russia
from other chimes, which they inhabited
together with their kith and kin, the Ac-
cads, who lived and throve in Babylonia
long before the Semites appeared there.
Traces Of kinship between them in Ian
guage and in laws have been discovered
by scholars versed in certain branches
OF linguistic science Curiously enough,
the place occupied by women in the So
cial hierarchy of those ancient peoples was
the place coveted by some women of our
own times, Indeed, female rule appears
to have been in vogue then, If one may
Judge by fragments of the laws which
have come down to us. That was in the
days before Moses was born; yet here we
are today wrangling over the problem as
II 1t had only just cropped up.
1t YVES in st. Petersburg that this very
question of Woman's rights was discussed
a few days ago by the council of the
empire. The council outdid the duma in
Its zeal for the rights Of the weaker
sex. Women in Russia are entitled to
take degrees at certain universities and
to qualify for and occupy posts in various
educational establishments. But hereto
fore they were deprived of their right to a
pension on the same footing as their
male colleagues In order to do away
with this injustice. the duma passed a
bill emitting all female teachers. lecturers
and professors to nearly the same pen
SONS. after the same number of years,
as instructors of the other sex receive.
The measure then came up before the
council of the empire. 1t was expected
that this law would be shelved. But
the council on the contrary, received it
cordially. commented on it favorably, and
there was not a single voice raised
against it. Nay. more instead of con-
tenting itself with the virtual equality
which the duma measure established the
upper chamber decreed absolute equality
of the sexes in this matter. and defined
the rights of the women with legal pre-
cision. 1t was a day of triumph for the
friends of woman's rights.

Equal Rights Bill Submitted.

A measure has been fashioned by the
minister of justice and laid before the
two chambers. 1t has for its object the
virtual equalization of the sexes, and is
entitled "A bill for extending the per-
women" Whenever it becomes law
probably before the close of the year
every married woman in Russia will have
whole passport to herself and the right
to live in the place she chooses-if she
be separated from her husband. She
will no longer be merely mentioned by
name in her husbands passport, as is
still the case. nor will she be named there
at all unless she allows it of her own free
will. Further, all married women, how
ever young. shall hencefOrward possess
the right of working for a livelihood in
the service Of the state. of the commune.
Of private individuals or of educational
establishments. whether the husband
agrees or dissents. Moreover, all the
restrictions which hfndered married wom-
en- from giving or accepting bills of ex-
change are to be abolished That is
the status of the married woman as it
will be.
What the status of the Russian woman
who has taken a husband is. was or
may be transcends belief. OF course,
extreme cases were rare; but, then, they
were always possible. And I have nv
years. An imaginative girl, descending
from her castle in cloudland, marries one
Of those soulless, heartless and con-
scienceless individuals whom it is mis-
homer to call a man. In few months
she leaves him. But without means
of her own, she cannot earn her liveli-
hood unless she takes service. This,
however, she may not do unless her
husband assents. And it is always in
his power to rescind the permission once
accorded. Thus he may refuse to allow
her to win her bread in this mans serv-
ice. while he is ready to let her serve
somebody else, who pays him so much a
year. l have known cases like this
cases of revolving kind.

Case Of Wife Selling.

A few days ago curious case of wife
selling came to the notice of the authori-
ties, which shows how much there is still
to do among the masses No doubt in the
lowest orders of the population such
transactions may be discovered in almost
any country But what surprises one
about the particular sale now recorded Is
the part taken in it by the local authori-
ties, who raised 1t to the level of a per-
fectly legitimate piece Of business au-
thorized by the state. One of the inhab-
itants Of the city Of Kagooi, NJ. Lady
shkin. being in want of ready money and
no longer enamored Of his wife, offered
to sell the latter to an acquaintance OF
his named Demydoff for the sum Of AZ
rubles, or $685. When Ladyshkin had
spent the money it occurred to him that
he was now free to wed another woman.
And he took steps to carry out his in
tention. Possibly he wanted to practice
wife selling as business. Anyhow. his
sold wife also wished to marry again.
and her first step was to obtain a regular
divorce. The authorities before whom
the matter was taken called for all the
woman's documents that might have any
bearing on her petition. She presented
several, among them an official certificate
issued by the communal board, the mu-
nicipality of Kotshulia. which declared
that on such and such day she had
been duly sold by her lawful husband.
The document is dated 1921 April, 1911,
and bears all the signatures and seals
necessary as we'll as the names of the
two witnesses.
