WOMEN SAY THAT
HUSBANDS BORESOME
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—In cities
; women are greater bores than men.
In the jungle men are more tire
some.
Women scorned in cities shoot
men .
Men spurned in the jungles hy
women use the knife.
Mrs. Ernest Thompson Set09. wife
of the naturalist, just back from
the Far East, has made these ob
servation? after penetrating a sec
tion on India's west coast, where
an actual matriarchy exists. A
community in which titles, money
and property descent through the
female line; where women have
the advantage of men to such an
extent that they frequently discard
a stupid husband ic: some one of
his sex who pronrses to be rather
more of an enierh'.'rer.
The scorned 1 ir.n oi the east *s
as quick with the Hade as the fur
ious woman of the west is with th®
bullet.
'■Most of the crimes in this sec
tion,” says Mrs. Scion. “are knife
cases. A husla: d is frequently sup
planted by nnrthor man. When a
woman is tired she divorces her
husband . Rut she dies attend 'to
iust one at a time. Jealousy, how
ever, is apt to follow her, with se
vere results.
“There are few women criminals
in India—one in a thousand, per
haps.
“The woman of this section of
India rules her world without leav
ing her home. She does not go
about in public . She does not be
come involved in difficulties outside
her home life, and over these she
has absolute power.
“Because^she stays at home she
does not become involved in any
trouble that leads her to commit
crime.”
i ui past ten years Mrs. bo
ton has made a study of the wom
en of different countries. Though
! she has zestfully hunted and photo
| graphed big game with her hus
I band ,Mrs. Seton has been more in
j terested in the status of women in
these Diaces than in the financia1
and social rating of local lionesses
and pantherettes. She never had any
tiouble deciding, as another author
did, whether or not she would favor
the lady or the tiger.
“It was a gpe.at contrast to find
that the woman of India, the woman
behind the veil, was the head of the
family in this west coast section.
Here is a communal system, the dif
ferent units of a family living to
• gethcr, woman having the upper
| hand.
j “When the daughter of a family
! marries she stays in her own home,
and her husband remains in his.
He keeps house with his own clan
and doesn’t become part of his wife’s
family, but visits her when she is
willing.”
The intense interest of Mrs. Se
ton in women and their problems be
gan when the agitation for suffrage
was at its height in this country.
During the war Mrs. Seton followed
the self-determination of English and
American women, noting the apathy
among the middle class of France,
for which she cannot account, since
the upper and lower ranks of French
women did considerably more than
their “bit,” and did it well.
“Clever women are always worth
studying,” said Mrs. Seton.
“Beautiful women are just as well
worth watching. In India I saw
many beauties; but whether or not
they would be regarded as lovely
in the western world I am not cer
tain.
dearment, describes their beauty.
Their beauty is undeniably roundfac
ed, a type on the merits of which
conn, isseurs disagree. They have
wonderfully lustrous eyes and skin,
but they are vtiy dark in both res
pects.
“Among these beauties there is a
great aspiration for lighter skin.”
White garments, always a decora
tive and comfortable fashion in coun
! tides where the heat is intense,
| serve to enhance the rare charm
i of the women of India, Mrs. Seton
! says, as well as the curiously beau
l tiful jewels which they wear about
j wrist and throat. Their life gen
erally is much duller and less dan
| gerous than that of the remote few
! in the modern matriarchy which Mrs.
Seton was the first' to penetrate.
But is this easy divorcing of
boresome husbands and the careless
knifing of fickle wives a good
thing. Is it a step forward or a
' misstep backward. Is a Far East
ern husband, living with his own
folks, more tiresome than a west
ern one, right on the wife’s prem
ises?
We have a sneaking suspicion that
he is—that when the husbands oi
the matriarchy came to call they re
gale their powerful wives with tales
of the good cooking—curry and chut

ney sauce—to be had at the tables
of their own clan.
And a man over-intei'ested in the
home in which he was born and
raised instead of in the one he
helps make for some woman is not
, the liveliest companion in the world.
Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton fi
nally decided that the “till boredom
us doth part” marriage is not so
admirable. She says, in conclusion:
“I cannot say that I think the di
: vorce system of India’s mathiarchy
is a good thing. A woman should
not leave or divorce a man be
cause she is tired of him.’ “
