Buckeye Notes

for another woman, Mrs. Edith Huang,
Chinese graduate of Ohio Northern
university at Ada, has started on the
return trip to her native land with her
faithless husband, John Huang.
A few years ago Huang and his
wife we're converted at a Methodist
mission in Foochow, China. A short
time afterward they were persuaded
by a missionary to come to America.
They decided to enter school to
equip themselves for teaching in the
Chinese government schools. The
man entered the University Of Pitts
burg, while his wife took up her work
at the Ohio Northern university at
Ada. She proved brilliant student
and was graduated this year with the
degrees of bachelor of philosophy and
bachelor of pedagogy. The husband
left the University Of Pittsburgh and
entered Columbia university, in New
York city. He became infatuated with
a woman in New York, left school and
set up curio shop.
According to Chinese custom, II the
wife of Chinaman speaks to another
man he may take another wife, while
his first wife is compelled to act as
his slave. Huang came recently to
Ada, where he attempted to learn
whether his wife had spoken to others
while there. Finding that such was
the case, he announced his intention
of returning with her to China, where
se would marry his affinity. Afraid to
refuse him, the brokenhearted woman
has begun her term of life bondage.
