I position it is not such a one as would be
at. all Salinftlf'tul'y to tho average Ameri-
l can woman. Wives of this kind are only
3 found among the higher classes or those
1 well to do, because among the poor the
a
I
i
expense of having more than one woman
in tho family cannot be borne.
“As I-‘Ilt‘lll as a wonmn is born in a
. Chinese family tho question arises what
3 shall he done with her. A girl baby is
. not what is wanted, as a rule, and par-
‘ ticnlarly so among the poor, for she
| must be cared for and docs not pay for
l but keep, as the male children do when
3 they are grown. If the people am ex-
j trenn-ly poor and there are already girls
in the fold. the latest girl baby disap-
’3 pears mysteriously. Possibly the river
; could tell whero the body is. possibly
3 not. In any event that girl baby is gone
3 like the extra kittens that used to up-
3 pear about our homes when we were
3 children. If there are no other girls, one
i will be kept, and in due time; say
i when she, is to or 1‘: years of age, she
5 will be disposed of to a man who is to
3 become her husband for a consideration.
3He pays whatever the stipulated sum
I may be; she is delivered at his door; a
feast and fireworks may follow in cele-
' bration of the event, or may not. and
her slavery begins.
3 “Chinese husbands are extremely
3' jealous. and their wives are kept. in each
i seclusion and have so few opportunities
3 to take exctciso in the open air that.
i their health is soon undermined and
3 death comes to them early. 1 can maroo-
ly recall having; seen morn than half a
‘ dozen gray haired women during my
entire revulcnco in the country.
“When n woman is old, she is no
. long! 1' attractive to her husband, and
L though he ostensibly cares foobar he
‘ takes to himself a young and attractive
woman and lets the old one go out and
do such work as she can find. A great
. many women go about front house to
house patching and durning old clothes,
and they are known among foreigners
as 'sew'sew' women. They sit on the
doorstcps of the, houses where they hapo
pen to get some work to do and sew
tlu-ro, because if they are permitted to
come inside they will be likely to steal
a good deal more than the clothes am
worth. Their earnings are very small.
and so also is the expense of theirliv-
iug. Wives are not hardworking wom-
en usually except the wives of sampan
and junk men. who, with their families,
comprise the teaming boat life of China.
Here the women stand shoulder to
shoulder with their husbands, doing ex-
actly the same kind of work, rowing.
carrying freight or luggage and having
in addition the burden of their children.
“A sampan’womun carries her baby
strapped on her back, and to it she has
strapped a floater of wood, so that if by
any mischance the little one falls into
the water it may be fished out before
going to the bottom. ’l‘hcso sampan
; boats am very small, a cabin not being
‘ muc‘arger than three feet in width by
. :IX o ‘cvcn in length, and in this small
space sometimes two families. and big
ones, will live. Here the children are
,born. and here they are cared for, sick
,or well, and here must go on all the
~ privacies of life._ Naturally tho moral
standard among these women is not
high, and it is safe to say that not one
man to 100.000 will refuse to surrender
his wife for money, nor will any wife
object to such surrender. provided tho
Il'llllrllt'llilll be brought about through a
third party with a certain show of se-
crrcy. It is the Same if there be a
3 daughter in the family, though unmar—
ried or unattached daughters are ex-
tremely scarce. In fact, there are no old
maids in tlhina. Every girl. unless mal-
formed. is sure to have abusband u!
