INDIAN MISSIONARY TELLS OF 25 YEARS ON FOREIGN SOIL Y. W. Worker In Native Garb Describes Old Customs of Hindoo Women Clothed in a Hindoo sari, a gray, loose flowing garment that entirely covers the body and head, Miss Agnes Hill, Y. W. C. A. missionary, told a group of college women at the bungalow last evening of the strange but interesting ways of the natives of India, emphasizing par ticularly the sad existence led by the women, who are far from free, because of hereditary customs. Miss Hill is an earnest and faith ful Y. W. C. A. worker,, was born in Dayton, Ohio, and has been in India as a missionary since 1894 She left India last spring, arriving in this country in July, for the pur pose of lecturing to create interest in behalf of these poor women of India whom she is so anxious to help to their freedom. One amusing experience Miss Hill told of having in India was when her servant asked if she might have a few days off to make up a mar riage contract for his daughter and when she said, “Why your daughter is only eight years old,” he told her that his daughter had reached the age where a husband must be found for, her- Then she said to her, “Couldn’t your father get any one to marry you ! I hey thought it funny that I wasn’t married,” she explained, “One can’t be an old maid unless you are a Christian.” Will Go Back to Her Work. Miss Hill expects to return to India this February and is very anx ious for that time to come, she says, so she may get back to the at mosphere of the work that she loves. “One life is such a little thing to give,” she said, “I wish that I had a hundred lives to spend in foreign fields.” Upon being asked if she liked the west, for this is her first visit on this coast, Miss Hill said last night, that she was very much in love with the west, but she wouldn’t stay here for $1,000 a month, so great is her love for foreign work. She related how, while she was in Cali fornia, the people at a certain Y. W. C- A., where she visited, begged her to stay with them, but she ex plained to them that “one is only happy where they are needed.” “A job in this country,” she went on to say, “is worth your life to keep, always there are some 50 other people clamoring after it while in the foreign countries all you accom plish is your’s and there is nobody trying to get your ■ job or shoulder the credit that is due you for your efforts.” Miss Hill was a graduate of the University of Illinois in 1892 and in 1894 she took up the missionary work that she is still carrying on.
