HOMES IN INDIA EXCLUSIVE Foreigners Can Never Hope to Enter Residences of East Indiana for Any Purpose. London. —There are two things no .foreigner In India, not even Emperor George, can ever hope to do. One la to walk with the pilgrima through the Lion Gate, past the prleats and the dancing girls, to the shrine of the "Lord of the World," which stands on the Blue Hill at Purl. The other Is to enter an Indian home. It is not at all certain that the former Is not the eaaler of the two, although DO white - sj Primitive Native Life In India. man has ever done it and lived, al though a recent viceroy vainly offered a lakh of rupees to be spent In puri .fleatlon ceremonies if he would only be permitted to enter the famous sanc tuary. The Indian home of the better sort has no crowd of fanatic priests and pilgrims to guard Its entrance, yet to the foreigner It is almost as effectually barred. Ono may form warm friend ships with Indian gentlemen of tho new school In Calcutta or Bombay and even eat at their houses, If caste preju dices aro elastic enough; but to cross the inner court and enter the living quarters of the house, which are sa-. cred to the family—one might as well expect to fly to the moon. A few white women who have cast their lot with India and won the con fidence of the natives are welcomed "behind the purdah." Miss Margaret Noble ("Sister Nlvedlta") was one of these. Again, many Europeans are en tertained by "Brahmos," as the cul tured members of the thelstlc Brahmo Samaj are called but the homes of these Westernized Indians, delightful as they are, are not Indian homes. To the stranger in India, and In this sense all but the Indians themselves will forever remain strangers, the na | tlve home, with all Its alien ways, la I like an unknown country, mysterious, | baffling and infinitely provoking to the curious. WOMAN DOCTORS ARE HIT , London County Council Decides That When They Marry They Must Quit Service. London. —The London County Coun j ell decided that women doctors must • retire from their service if they mar ry. These questions arose on the(ap j polntment of three women doctors in j the public health service. The coun j ell In such appointments Insists that | women shall resign on marriage, and j a similar condition was Included in the \ case of the three new appointments. Miss Adler and Miss Wallas, both \ progressive members, supported tba ! amendment. Miss Wallas urged that jVthe council needed women of experl l ence, and Miss Adler said it would not only be wise to have married women doctors but also married nurses. Wo men could organize nowadays, so there was no great fear that wages would be reduced. Lady St. Heller, the only woman member of the municipal reform party, twk a view directly opposite to that of her two progressive colleague. The council allowed women teachers to marry, but she declared she was con vinced that no woman could do her duty to her home and family If she had to go out to work. Husband Charges "Cruelty."
