WHERE WOMEN RULE.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald
London, July IS-Sir Chettun Sankaran
Nair, a great Indian chief and law-giver
from Madras. opened the eyes Of his audi
ence at the London School of Economics
by explaining the advance Of the Orient
over the Occident in far Malabar.. There
women rule. the matriarchal system OF
the Nairs Of Malabar being, in his opinion,
example for the world.
while social marriages did not exist
among royal or ruling families in Mala-
bar the middle OF lower classes Of Nairs
are duly married" he said. Religious
ceremonies are unknown. but the astrol-
ogers consult the horoscopes OF the par
ties and, as a rule, the unions remain per-
manent.
Where the women came In, he said, was
when the husband did everything in his
wife's name and the property was com
pletely under her control The husband
went to the wife's home and was fed
and maintained there He only went to
his home on leave, occasionally. That
was the method OF the upper classes. The
second type was q system under which
there were really two families, and the
third type was that In which a husband
found a home for his wife In his own
house. These three systems had prevailed
for about 5000 years. There was no d.
vorce law.
