I The Chain of Love ) The nrst link in the chain of love is always carefully traced by the newly-engaged lovers. ThetTLaing little moidemt is thought of, smiled over tcTiderly, and cherished in the mind of the old ma.n ajid woma.n axou-,nd whoae knees a. ?roup of gra-ndchiLdren aj-e Clustering. TTia.t first link! How quickly it linked BtaeLf to yet a-notjier wmch was to go on joining up and &trc.henin.g UTLtil the man a.nd. madd a<woke to the fact tha.& love had bound them tig-h-tly together. and that life would hold no joy for t-ecrn if aught cajne to break the chains of L&ve and &e't tbeTn free%'f its bonds. It is such a. trine, thig nrst link in the cha.i'n of love. A mere glance from a. st.ranger's eyes, & ohajice a.ccideBft, D. prosa-ic introdu.otion, au a.n.tbc.yiEg inciden't, a. mutual grief, aji atmna- ing episode, each and all will give .rise to the introduction of interest tha.t will lead to the a.roU3ing of warmer feeùiThgS. Silly Hjttle trifles they ma.y be, but wna.t padr of loYers ever omi Tt-ed whisparing over a<nd over m their sweetheart's e.u' an aocouct of those times when. they first aa.w €a<(*h other, wha,t they &rat thought, and how they felt? Over and over aga.in. the lovers will ILngsr over the iuem<>ry of tha.t ea,rly time, and always ftOO. a. renewaJL Ctf their joy in thinking of iit. WOMEN IN EAST INDIA I On the day of her marriage the East Indian %irt is, saya a. writer in a Lancashire journal, usually placed in a palanquin, shut up tight, and carried to her hoUBe. Hitherto she has been the spdild pet of her mother; now she is to be the little slave of her Trother-in-law. upon whom she is to wait, whose commands she is to implicitly obey, and who teaches her what she must do to please her husband-what dishes he likes best, and how to cook them. Of her husband she sees little or nothing. She is of no more account to him than a little cat or s, dog would be. When she is a child, she is never allowed to go anywhere. The little girls are 'married as young as three years cf age; and, should the boy to whom such a baby is married die, the next day &he is called a widow, and is from henceforth doomed to perpetual widow- hood; she can never marry again. A<3 a widow, die must never wear any jeA ellerv, never dress her h a ir, never sleep on a oed—nothing but a piece of matting spread over a hard brick floor, and sometime with not even that between her and the I bricks; a,nd, uo matter how ccol the night L ay be, ebe must have no ether cohering tbe thin garment ahc has worn in the d.j,y. She mut ea-t but one -meal a day, and that of tTie co-arsest kind of food, and once in two wM*ks z3he must fast for twenty-four hours; then not a. bit of food or a drop of liquid mu.st pass her lips, not even if ahe is dying. 6he may never even look on at any mar- riage ceremonies or festivals. It would be an evil cm'en for her to do so. She may have been a high ci;sle woman, but on her becom- ing a. widow even the lowest servants may order her to do whaMver M distasteful to themselves. No woman in the house must ever speak one viord of love or pity ta her II for it i9 supposed that if a. woman showB tho eHghtest commiseration to a wiL, she will inta.liibly become a. widow herself before ¡ very long.
