- CARRIAGE IS the completion Of
NE all romances. among savages
as well as among civilized PEG
pie, and in nothing is the character Of
trace so clearly revealed as in its mar
rage customs.
The bioIogic. or life law governing
marriage is virtually the same every
where; it is only the customs that diff
fer. The romance OF the sexes never
fails. whether under the Arctic SHOWS
or the equatorial sun This is also the
subject Of a highly interesting article
on who Should Marry2" in Good
Housekeeping magazine for March.
Two thousand years ago a Chinese
poet wrote. describing the feelings Of
g wife neglected by her husband:
The red hibiscus and the reed.
The fragrant flowers Of marsh and
mead,
All these gather as I stray.
As though for one now far away
I strive to pierce with straining eyes
The distance that between US lies.
Alas that hearts which beat as one
should thus be parted and undone!'
And yet by custom Chinese wives are
compelled to make VOWS OF subml ssiOn
to their husbands that would raise Sc
rious objections among the fairer half
Of creation in our cline, and in many
cases they are not treated much better
than slaves.
