A Tasty Sandwich.

1t was the memory Of a childhood ap-
petite which inspired a woman to serve
brown bread sandwiches spread with
horseradish and sugar with her after
noon tea. The snappy pungency Of the
horseradish was very delightful. The
horseradish had, of course. been mixed
with vinegar. the slightest possible
amount used. and it was sprinkled lightly
with powdered sugar. The brown bread
was made Of whole wheat and graham
flour. and was cut as thin as possible.

New Handbags.

New handbags show the continuous use
OF fabrics in preference to leather.
The newest forms OF handbags are in
the shape 70 the old-fashioned knitted
purse in the form OF a long sack having
an opening at the center. which is closed
with sliding rings. Bags OF this character
are very large and made or the richest
fabrics-brocade- silks, changeabIe tar-
fetas, metal illuminated fsiIle, and vel
vet.
In nat handbags the prevailing idea Is
the medium size, with long cord handle,
the frame OF the bag being made in such
way as to be very thin; In fact, the
thinnest possible.
Nothing can be considered smart in
the way OF a handbag that is over an
inch thick.

ny JULIA CHANDLER MANI.


We become so accustomed to our bless
ings in this big. generous America Of
ours that 1 think we are unmindful OF
their real extent until we begin to COM
pare ourselves with the women of less
civilized nations.
The lower down the scale we find a
nation, the fewer arc the rights and
privileges granted women.
To the American woman, who can go
out and get a divorce from her lord and
masterson the fiimsiest pretext, it will
seem preposterous that there are many
lands in which divorce is an unheard of
thing, and women are cruelty punished
who marry even after their husbands
are laid away decently under the sod.
But as preposterous and barbarous as
it may seem, it is nevertheless true.
Married in Childhood.
The Hindoo girl, for instance. is mar
Iied long before she reaches the age Of
maturity, and when her husband dies
she becomes the slave Of her mother
in-Iaw or Of any other woman whoEwill
give her shelter. Should she dare re-
marry, she is Inflicted with the most
terrible punishment that is known to
Hindoo religion and custom. It was for
merly the custom to burn the wife alive
with her husbands body-a custom
known as "suttee." This was suppressed.
however, by the British government.
When we consider the fact of the little
girl widows OF to-day, many of whom
are left without husbands at twelve
years OF age, we wonder If death, pro-
vided it might have been administered
with less cruelty, were not the prefer
able fate.
Among a good many OF the African
races it Is still customary to execute
wives when their husbands die. In the
Rarua country a dead chief is arranged
in his grave in the lap OF his favorite

There Are Many Lands in Which Woman Is Not
Allowed to Remarry After the Death
of Her Husband.

wife, while the others are arranged
around him, after which they are all
buried alive
Tibet women have all the work TO dc
while their husbands loaf and enjoy life;
but they do the marrying, annexing
new husband whenever they so desire. =
The Malays make woman who remar-
ries after the death of her husband the
subject Of gibes and jests. Among the
aborigines OF Australia n woman's head
is cut open at the death OF her husband
and covered with plaster OF paris. She
Is not allowed to speak word for two
years, after which she must marry her
husbands brother.
Custom of Indians.
Among our Western Indians a woman
does not marry after her husbands death
within four years. sometimes seven. and
is never expected to marry after she has
passed the age of forty.
In China divorce is possible. but may
only be obtained by man. woman is
never granted divorce from her hus-
band. The Chinese husband may divorce
his wife II she is too talkative to please
him. After her husbands death the Chi
nese woman may remarry. but as long
as he lives she Is member Of his family
and is subject TO the orders OF his mother
and father.
Russia is the least civilized of Euro
pean countries. and does not approve Of
the remarriage of widows. A widow Of
the imperial family is compelled by the
Gar to retire TO a convent. The Rus
sian law requires widows Of that country
to wait six months. A priest is allowed
TO marry, but neither a priest nor his
wife may remarry in the case Of the
death Of either one OF them.
II seems to me that it is a mighty good
thing for us to stop occasionally and con-
template our blessings of civilization and
the freedom IL has brought to woman
that our sense Of gratitude may not be-
