- WOMEN PROPOSES.
Man Minor Figure in Many Countries
Of the World.
"Once again with 1920 women have
a chance to take the initial step toward
providing themselves with an
introduction to the heavenly kingdom,
a boon which marriage brings to
them, according to .Mormon philosophy.
The return of a year which
leaps forward a day, bringing to them
a privilege monopolized by man three
years out of four, has no significance
for women of many lands since they
enjoy that liberty all the time," says
* ? x- ? i.i? \Ta i.* ? I rt !
a Duneim irom m? ucugraphic
society issued today from its
Washington headquarters.
"The women of no race possess
more freedom in this matter than the
Hopi Indians of Arizona," the bulle.
tin continues. "A maiden does not
woo the man of her choice, but simply
and forcibly states her proposition
to his mother without any encourage,
ment on his part. Her only preliminary
proceeding is to do her hair in
two gigantic whorls, one over each
ear. This is her announcement that
:
she is going a courting. These pe;
ciiliar knots are intended to represent j
the blossoms of a squash vine, symbol
of virginity, but to those untutored in \
their meaning they resemble huge
doorknobs set at a rather violent
angle.
Victims Take to Woods.
"When some debutantes thus announce
that they are 'out on the carpet,'
it is said that as many as six
or eight of the eligible young men
of the tribe literally take to tne
woods.
i- "After this aggressive young lady
has selected her victim and his mother
has agreed that he shall be sacrificed,
she serves in the house of her
future mother-in-law for 30 days
grinding meal, very much after the
fashion that Jacob of old served 14
years for Rachel. The poor youth in
the meanwhile does not sit idly by,
hut weaves her wedding garments.
"Among the Batus of the Uganda
Protectorate of Africa, if a girl is not
fortunate enough to be asked in marriage
in her home town, she goes to
another village and offers herself to
some man there. Though not honored
in her own country, she at least re'
ceives consideration in that of her
neighbor, for a woman is an excellent
agricultural laborer and a man is not
likely to refuse such a business asset.
"The Gala women of the eastern
( coast of Africa has the rare privilege
among savage and half civilized people
of refusing to marry a man who
is undesirable to her.
I Woman Head of Family.
"Little is known of the marriage
customs of the ancient Egyptians, but
we can easily believe that women had
at least the privilege of expressing a
preference if they did not actually do
/
the proposing, for, if we trust the hist
torian Diodorus, a man promised his
" - wife to grant her complete control
over him and to offer no objections to
.her commands.
"Some survival of this liberty of
Egyptian women must have permeated
other portions of Africa, for princesses
on the west coast of that contit
nent whose children may become future
rulers choose their own husbands.
Nor is a princess limited in
her choice to unmarried men. She
may just as easily decide upon one
who has already entered the marriage
state, and the poor fellow has
* tp put away his other wives and be
come her slave. Moreover, she has
the power of life and death over him.
He sometimes has only one consolation?he
inherits all her property if
he is fortunate enough to be spared
until her death.
True Spirited Courtship.
"In the Tyrol a girt may express
her preference for a man by present
ing him with a bottle of spirits. If
she is afraid that her procedure has
not the endorsement of her parents
she may contrive to lower the prec}
ious fluid at night from her chamber
window.
"In North Transylvania a young
peasant woman may give a particular
swain a tip that he is the 'apple of her
eye' by going with him in his cart at
the time of the harvesting of the oats
to help him carry in his crop. It is
said that at this season one sometimes
sees a procession of gayly decorated
carts going afield, a willing maid seated
in each.
"One of the obligations of a father
in Rumania and Bosnia is to provide
so well for his marriageable daughter
that when she is presented with
a list informing har of the means and
qualifications of the eligible young
men in the vicinity she will not be
hampered by a lack of worldly goods
on her own part in making her choice.
"In bygone days in India women
were sometimes allowed to choose
their own husbands. One of their old
fairy tales tells of a fair princess who,
after a tournament, placed a garland
around the neck of a knight who had
won her heart.
"Among the Eskimos of the east
coast of Greenland a man captures
the girl he wants, but from that time
on the usual order of things is reversed.
He has to exercise the great%
