Sad Fate of Chinese Widows.

Very few Chinese Widows ever re-
marry. AS rule. custtms of society
do not go further, but in some parts Of
Fukien the self-destruc=on of widows
in their devotion to their dead hus-
bands has assumed almost barbarous
forms. For example, wLen a man dies
his wife will generally declare her in
tentiOn to kill herself t. demonstrate
her faithfulness toward him. Then
the elders of the family will cause q
high stage TO be erected and invite
their relatives, friends and acquaint-
ances TO witness the heroic deed.
When the appointed hour has come
and the spectators have assembled,
the lady will ascend the stage to hang
herself amid the admiration and ap-
probation OF the spectators. Then a
stone arch will be erected to her mem
DRY, and the family Will be regarded
as illustriOus for possessing such a de-
voted wife.
