When a wife dies the man inherits

and attend all the religious rites, in

casions they are housekeepers, nurses,
servants, cooks or prH ctitlonerS Of a
certain profession. They are nothing

prosaic. If you would give me all
the power and riches ofEPibet would
not marry their effeminatc men.
The women Of Tibet were very
pretty when they had masculine
system Of life and the men manly.
Our old sculptures and paintings
speak Of an era when there was u
romance and poetry in the relation
or man TO woman. But assure
you there is nothing OF that kind in
present feministic Tibet. The women
marry men as they would perform
any trivial social function-without
the least show of romantlcism. When
a man kisses q woman they do not

1t here an exciting novelty
of the day. Our women have not only
enjoyed political equality, but su-
premacy for seven hundred years,
and for about the same length OF
time we have had a feministic tyran-
ny IN its last word.
Nh kuo State, in Eastern Tibet,
has always been the backbone Of all
our feministlc fadS. There man
can never be ruler, Judge, or n
general OF the army. In some OF. our
western States men have only re-
Gently been made the nominal admin
1strators, but in reality women are
the power behind the curtains. I find
that your American women are de-
manding only equality In political af-
fairs. Thus did the women Of Tibet
In 1885, nearly TOO years ago. AS our
women did, thus yours will soon, de-
mand the supremacy. And they will
get It, too. In our country n woman
is the master Of everything. She is
not only the head Of the family, but
the head of every more or less con-
spicuous social institution. She con-
mands and the man obeys.
If you ask me whether our men
like their inferior position, I must
reply: They have grown Indifferent
In their social ambitions, and do not
care whether a COW or q woman Is
on the throne.
The women Of Tibet did not gain
In one generation their social-politi.
