Arabian Women.

The life '6i the Arab woman is a weary, wretched existence, without hope or aim. She is kicked and cuffed, cursed, and otherwise maltreated if she does not instantly: obey her husband. She newer attempts to show any love for him; her dread and fear of him is very, great. The Arabs have a proverb that “woman was bound to be a slave .three times —to her father, her husband, and her son,” and this Is verified in the inh?ppy lives of these poor women.
