Where Woman Is Lord.

In a tiny island called Minikoi, off the southern coast of India, a most peculiar state of society exists, for woman is lord of all she surveys. The wife is the recognized head of the house. She owns it and everything in it, while anything that her husband, who works very hard, can earn goes to Increase her wealth. Her busband belongs to her, too, and when she marries him she gives him her name Instead of taking Ills.
