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round-withdrawn, apart; and that if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

wascredited of late years with being'
Rble to earn as much as £100 a

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
