what ls & olhmary notion of lb dian domeatldty and the Hindu mar-` riage problem among the majority of

that boys and girls are married at a shamefully early age? That at the time of puberty or _`earlier`the zenana closes up_on the Hindu wife? That her life thenceforward is a trivial round-withdrawn, apart; and that if her husband should die it were better a thousand times .that she had never been born? That, or something like it. is tho common version. But it is not' the‘version you_ will get from Mrs. Besant; still_less is it the one you will get from the militant apostles of the Hindu revival, in whose eyes there is nothing so -vener- able as the religious idea and tra- dition lying behind the social life of India, nothing- so exquisite, as the _sentiinerit and ritual .of the Hindu household; says a writer in The Lon- don`]_§4eader. ' ' V

For agreement on these things, ho.Wever‘,’ydu will seek i_g_vain. ’I‘he_v are matters of feeling, habit. creed- matters -'of' climate and longitude. Other aspects of the subject there are ..which' belong co_mpaljati\'ely to _ the region of social facts, and; as it hap- pens. there is one such aspect being canvgssed with a_good deal of vigor '_ in India at the moment.

was announced on the 6th August. wascredited of late years with being' Rble to earn as much as £100 a 585' by his drawings. He ,began his artistic career when he was 12 years Old. at which time the Grand Thea- lrc, Leeds, opened, and he became ac- quainted with the son of the local sceneipainter, and helped to mix the distemper. Here Mr. Hay used to' sketch sections of other people's de- signs of costumes, and euentually he designed .coniic~ masks and dresses. This brought him orders for por- traits, and after a year or two the late Frederick Stimpson engaged him to play ` small parts, and do six sketches a week, as advertisement window bills. He got an engage ment to design the dresses for the Leeds pantomime in 1882, butthen determined to come to London as a

tragedian, his finances at the time consisting of 20 shillings. An aunt had married an actor there, and he sought her out. By his uncle he was next day despatched again to Leeds,
