WOMAN'S PLACE IN THE WORLD.
A RETROSPECT.
[BY THE DUCHERS OF MARLBOROUGH IN "THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW."]
dants lay at the root of the system. An ides now conquests and the wish for more deseen- has even been projected that, if women gain the franchise, England will become addicted to polygamy woman being in the majority by million and a half, and every woman insisting on the right to part of a husband. But the Let us ascertain woman's place in the cont-middle classes has so greatly decreased that it is industrial raine of woman in the apper and munity at the time when nomadic life formed to be feared more than one wife will hardly itself into groups and, with the cementing of meet with favour in the eyes of the man who family ties, acknowledged women to be auprome. has to dress, feed, and amass hor, And then let as follow her through the gradual narrowing and restricting of her sphere to the present day when woman is at length attempt ing to re-establish the balance of primitive rights as well as to gain the economie and politi. cal equality civilisation brings in its wake. Such a review will enable as to ascertain that women were not in the first place looked upon as the weaker or more negligible quantity True, they were not the fighting portion of the race, but they were the organisers, custodians, guardians, and householders, tnsmitters of name and fortune, and, in many casos, electors and law.gives na well.
THE DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH, Frofessor Thomas, in his intorcating work "Sex and Society," tells me that "the maternal system of descent ie found in all parts of the world where social advanen stands at a cortain level, and the evidence warrants the assumption that
overy group which advances to a culture state passes through this stage."
Ia Australia and Africa, with few exceptions," descent was formerly reckoned in the fanale line; on the continent of America, in China, and. Japan traces of this system are found, and in. parts of India it is still in full force. Among the American Indian tribes and the aborigines of Australia, missionaries and ethnologists are able to bear witness that "the women were the great power among the dans as everywhere else."
Asa natural consequence,laws of rank and pro porty follow the strictest maternal type, and women had in some uses the right to dismiss. their husbands, keeping the children to succeed themselves and be members of their own clan.
THE WOMAN HOLDS FROPERTY. Eren after the establishment of the male sys tem, the women still held property-s survival from maternal times, A forma of divorce pro- nonood by a husband was: "Begone! For I will no longer drive thy flocks to the pasture." Herodotus tells us: "Ask a Lycian who he is, and he will answer by giving his own name, that of his mother; and so on in the female line. Moreover, if a free woman marry a man who is slave, their children are free citizens; but if n free man marry a foreign woman, even though ho be the first person in the State, the children forfeit all rights of citizenship."

Professor Thomas's fascinating theory that "the nominal headship of woman, within the maternal group, existed only in default of forms of activity it to formulate headship among the men, and, when chronio militaney developed on organisation among the males, the political in- fluence of the female was completely shattered," brings us to his conclusion that, at a certain point in history, woman became an unfree class, precisaly as slaves became an unfree class, be cause neither class showed a superior fitness on the motor side; and each class is regaining its freedom, because the race is substituting other forms of decision for violence"-s conclusion which brings us into more or less accord with the means of agitation and the powers of or ganisation the women's freedom leagues are now instituting Motor force; whether in logical argument or ctovincing facts, is being amply demonstrated by those ladies who are sacrificing their freedom, time, wealth, and enjoyment for cause in which they have not even the satisfie tion of feeling that the whole of womankind up- holds them. Women were superseded as law- givers because the balance of power was trans- ferred to the men, on account of the greater stimulus to activity induced by war. We would therefore look to the Hague Peace Conference to readjust that scale of influence by turning into less militant channels the motor activity. which governs the occupations of the race.
THE WOMAN AS ORGANISER. Primitive women were, as wu have seen, the guardians of their children, the transmitters of name, the custodians of wealth, and, in many cases, the electors and lawgivers. As organisers And householders they reigned supreme, and with them rested the responsibility of providing food when the hunter was unsuccessful. It was their duty to grow the grain and vegetables! and to prepare them for eating. Not only did they cook the products of the chase, but the skins, horas, and feet of the animals were their to use in various ways. Agriculture and indus... tries were, therefore, started by women and by in their province-they were in fact the universal providers, and to their organizing and produc tive powers men trusted absolutely.
The outcome of this closer attention of the woman to the industrial life is well soon among the ancient Hebrews, illustrated in Proverbe xxxi. Fersen 10-24. Woman had her province and was left ite undisputed mistress as long as man had his catabolic energies sufficiently employed in the pareuit and killing of game. Once game became. peareer, life less nomadic and consequently more dependent on agriculture, man turned his acti rifice to what had been the woman's share of work. With his greater strength and willing. ness to co-operate with his kind, he soon clears jungles and irrigates the land, and agriculture Essumes Back Considerable dimensions and gains auch in importance that women is relegated to doing man's bidding.
It is in my opinion the necessity to readjust herself to man, to be judged by his individual standard and to conform het whole personalty to his ways of thinking, that has robbed woman of the power, strength, and inflados she could have exerted as a united and independent majority. Why should women have a standard of right and wrong adjustable to the moral sense of the men to whom they may happen to belong by purchase, as in earlier days by marriage, an in modern? How can any, logical sequence in mind or other be expected of women under such prevailing conditions Pj.
FAITHFULNESS THE ORIEY DEQUISITE.
I nearly all the Oriental nations faithfulness is the only virtue extolled in woman, the only one expected of her or seriously impressed upon bar consciousness, and yet oven tast one strong- hold of her soul could be destroyed at her hus band's command, though she would be punished by death if, she destroyed it without his per mission.
What moral sense can be born of such anomus- lies P
Surely blind obedience is not the school to produce a sense of responsibility or a moral code it for others than slaver, and is pernicious in the last degree to a sentient and thinking being The Mahoramedan religion degroiled woman even lower, cousigning her, as far in psychici qualities are concerned, to the level of bests," forbidding her for ever the hope of future salva fion. Man is taught to regard her as conducive to his comfort and pleasure, but in no manner necessary to the development of those higher fights of ambition, utilitarianism, or philosophy bis mind may leed bim to. Is this attitude to be traced to the industrial value of women, which, from the earliest times induced men to bargain fox their wives, and, as they grew richer and thes scope of their trade increased, to contract more than оде marriage in order to increase their means of production? Very possibly. patriarchal days, the lust of gam and of
the course of history, beginning with triar
So we study the position of women through chal days and proceeding with the women of Greece and Rome to the advent of Christanity, we see how in primitive organisations it was always woman's industrial value that governed her position, and made her the chattel, first of her father, then of her husband; and how, sa civilisation progressed, and woman became loss of an asset in the production of wealth and more of a power as a co-partner and co-inheritor, her position changed from one of dependence to one of importance, and ended in one of almost por- fest equality witle man.

Indeed, I have had instantaneous relief after taking only a few drops of your wonderful, world-famed remedy and I would never be without it in the house again on any consideration-I treasure it among my household gods. - »
