THREE MINUTE JOURNEYS
WHERE \ WOMAN PAYS OFF \
HUSBAND TO WED ANOTHER

In HS23 an Englishman by the
name OF Bruce was travelling in As
sam, the northeast province Of In
dia. At that time Assam had no
commerce. il was simply a beauti-
full country where the quiet. good
natured natives lived on the tropical
fruits which grow In profusion and
raised just enough rice and maize
for their own use.
While Bruce was in Assam he
discovered a tea plant. He reported
his find % the British government.
who Immediately imported tea
plants in great numbers from China,
and fostered the tea industry, until
now Assam is one Of the chief tea
growing countries OF the world
With the success Of the tea crops
commerce started. The years pass
ed, and with their flight many peo-
pie in Assam found themselves ger
ting particularly the tea
merchants. Before this time. money
did not make much difference. but
gradually money found its voice
even i'm this far away oriental coun-
try. Today money plays a very i'm
pcrtant part in the lives Of the wo-
men OF Assam-more so tnan IN
most countries.
Here divorce is a very simple
matter for the woman Of means. on
this account the duration Of the
popularity Of a rich woman's hus-
band is variable
For i'm assam the woman who
tires OF her husband and prefers an
other companion. simply calls her
husband TO her. They sit down and
have a perfectly friendly chat. and
she offers him a sum or money IN
exchange for her freedom
Perhaps she will offer him less
than he thinks he ought to have.
and there may be a little trouble in
coming to an agreement. But finally
an amicable agreement is reached.
The husband then PACKS his
clothes. takes his money and de-
parts In a few days his place may
be taken by another. but this does
not even cause a comment in the
I smart set Of Assam.
