WOMAN IN EUEOPE.
A Comparison or the Women of Two
Continents.
The United States Unlike any Other Country
-Some Disadvantages of the Euro
pean Sf stem.
Many points in the condition of
women in Europe are strange to an
American, but their examination will
not diminish "his pride in his own
country, if he has any. Generally it
may be said that woman is and has
ever been a drug in the markets of
the Old World. In our century this
continent has probably not lost one
half so many men, relatively, in war
as it did in the Eighteenth, nor one
third so many as it did in the Six
teenth, and yet the slaughter in bat
tle has contributed materially to give
the woman a large majority in the re
cent tables ok population, and to
leave a considerable number of them
without the possibility of finding hus
brnds. DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN.
The surplus of the fair sex, exist
ing from the remotest times for the
deeper the barbarism the greater the
destruction of masculine life in war,
as a general rule has diminished
their social value, and led to the ac
ceptance of prejudices and the adopt
ion of rules which discriminate
against her in many respects. This
discrimination seems to Europeans,
as a class, to be a necessary result of
the physiological differences between
the sexes, but to m American, bred
in a cjmtryhfcrawoman are in a
minon''- wESre'-rthe two sexes are
equal "inWeif cTjiiimon school educa
tion and their rights of inheritance,
and where custom, accepted by gen
eration after generation, has granted
to the better half of humanity advan
tages, privileges .and deferences un
known elsewhere,, it appears crueL In
no other respect is the American Be
public more characteristically differ
ent from all other nations tban in its
treatment of women. The generosity
shown to them and the trust grteu to
them are considered by the English
and Germans, as well .as by the
French, Spaniards and Italians, as
injudicious and pernicious, as well as
unexampled and wonderful.
UNEQUAL SUPPLIES IN TIIE MARKET.
Breadwinning is the business of
men atf- a class,., but unfortunately
many .of them select occupations not
adapted to their capacities, or for
other reasons, they do not attain any
noteworthy success until after they
have Teached middle life, thus mak
ing themselves undesirable in the
matrimonial market for many years.
Besides, the persons not in demand
as mates, on account of migratory
habits such as soldiers, sailors, ped
dlers and commercial travelers and
by gross dissipation are more numer
ous among men than among women.
The proportion of women suitable to
be good wives is larger than of men
to be good husbands, and from these
facts the deduction may be drawn
that that condition of society is the
best, other things being equal, in
which the males are in the majority.
That is not the situation in any part
of Europe. I have not the statistics
at hand, but they would probably
show thatthere,are ten per cent more
women than men? and in many dis
tricts twenty or even thiity per cent
more. This is a serious evil in itself
a much greater evil than an equ.il
excess of men would be and it is
aggravated by the exceeding density
of the population, the hereditary
character of poverty among the peo
ple generally, the low wages, the im
passable lines separating different
classes of society, the inelastic condi
tions of business, and the hopeless
ness of poverty.
TOIL AND WAGES.
The. hardship in the life of the men
reacts with double force on the
women, and they must bear much
more than an equal share of the bur
den. 'The women in Europe gener
ally work much more than in Amer
ica. An American wno nas resiuea
for years in Munich says the Bavarian
women of the middle class "work like
slaves," not that Jbey love toil, but
thai iheir husbands demand it. In
the country the women are field
laborers; in the cities, shop-v.'omen,
hucksters, wood sawyers, wood car
riers, hod carriers and street cleaners.
SincQteach family usually occupies
only-a single floor, or part of a floor,
and the bouses are high, much wood
and coalJJnust be carried to the upper
stories? and women do a considerable
part of this work. The female servant
toils fourteen hours a day for monthly
wages that range from $2 to S5 the
latter figure for the best in Southern
Germany, and a little more in France
and Belgium, and yet a little more in
England. There is no eight-hour
movsmentr for her benefit; she has no
trade union; she never strikes she
cannot afford it The proportion ol
shopwomen and of women working
for wages is much larger in Europe
than in. America,ibut here, as there,
site liasilittle -opportunity of reaching
thepositions -which command the
highest honors and profits.
WORSHIP OF MONEY.
TbelsuperiorTalue of money here
adds much to the hardship in the'eon
dition of European women. Many
travelers have written about the excessive-worship
of the almighty dol
lar in the United States, and espec
ially in California, but instead of
stating the truth, they have asserted
its direct reverse.- As you travel west
ward from Constantinople to San
Francisco the dollar gradually dimin
ishes in sacredness and apparent size.
It is an object of chase with Ameri
cans, and of idolatry with Europeans.
Wealth- is chiefly valued among us
for the pursuit, and among them for
the possession. The cockney snub is
disgusted by finding that, in our
country, the millionaire still adheres
to"his sbopf whereas in England the
merchant must withdraw from de
grading traffic before he can become
pjErivbf the upper crust. In the old
world, but not in the new, mercantile
business is a disgrace. It excludes
from'presentation at court; it is in
consistent with the character of a
(fa&imen." I-am told that one of
J Murray's handbooks relating to Lon-
! don has a passage somewhat like this:
, "The houses on this street are very
spacious and elegant; though owned
and occupied by merchants, are quite
good enough for gentlemen."
The merchant, no matter how rich,
is excluded from the highest social
I rank: but money is, nevertheless, in
Europe, the basis of all the chief
social distinctions; and if poor people
of aristocratic descent, professors,
artists or authors are received into
the best of society, it is partly be
cause it is supposed that by marriage
or their talents they may command
large incomes. The division of the
people into six or more distinct
social grades, with strict lines of sep
aration, prevalent throughout Europe,
caubes many petty oppressions and
annoyances of which women are the
chief victims, since they are dependent
much more than men on society for
their enjoyments.
COIN FIRST, LOVE SECOND.
Money is the first consideration
here in a marriage; first in time and
first in importance. If the parties
have property there is a written con
tract, thi terms of which are settled
before any engagement or love-making.
Tho matches are frequently ar
ranged by the parents and sometimes
they haggle for months before they
agree how much each shall give the
couple. It often happens that bar
gains of this kind are made for two
who have never seen each other, sub
ject to their approval after a brief
meeting in the presence of the mother
or a lady relative of the girl. The
latter is not to s:iy much on such
occasions. It is expected that each
shall contribute an equal amount in
capital or its equivalent of business
income, and tho cases in which one
party is rich and the other poor, or
in which both, possessing money,
unite without stipulation in regard
to the pecuniary basis of the contract,
are relatively very rare.
BRIDE AND GP.OOM.
They do not meet alone until they
marry, and it is not considered desir
able that tho girl should have an in
timate acquaintance with any gentle
man before the engagement. The
wife takes the husband as a stranger
under a purchase: with her property,
which passes under his control, she
pays for him. The girl who has no
money has little chance of getting a
husband; if she has much, she and
and her relatives state the sum pub
licly and request their friends to find
a good match for her. The father
tells his circle that his daughter is to
have so much for a dowry, and young
men who, on account of their wealth
or official position, are considered de
sirable catches, not unfrequei t y
have written lists of all the dowries
within the circle of their hopes.
AMERICAN WTVE3 IN EUEOPE.
Law and custom require from the
wife far more obedience, attendance
and subjection in Europe than in
America, and this is the one reason
why the matches made here by Amer
ican girls are generally unhappy.
Statistics were kept in two German
cities by American consult of the re
sults of such ventures. In one place,
out of thirty matches every one was
notoriously and scandalously dis
cordant; in the other place, twenty
e:ght out of thirty-two were not
made in heaven. An intelligent Ger
man, ex pi essing an opinion common
among his countrymen, asserts that
the American girls are spoiled; and
an American, long resident in Ger
many, anil having access to the best
society, says the German husbands
expect their wives to attend on them
and work like slaves. Marrying
among strangers or among people
who have distasteful customs, is not
considered a sign of much prudence
anywhere, and perhaps the European
men who marry Amerioan wives and
the American girls, who, away from
home, aeeept European husbands, are
not generally the best representatives
of thsir respective classes.
AMERICAN GIRLS IN EUROPE.
The American girls who travel in
Europe are marvels to the natives.
How they can travel without mother
or sister, though in company of
friends, how they can go about alone
in the cities, how they can visit tho
theatres or make excursions with no
escort save a young man, how they
can respond to intelligent remarks by
men recently introduced, with up
lifted eyes, confidence, easy grace,aud
ready judgment and wit, and how
they can abash insolence by quiet
dignity, or punish it by crushing re
proof, are matters of common won
der. The American girls in Europe
include many giddy flirts, but as a
class their conduct is considered as
tonishingly correct under the absence
of restrictions. This is true, not only
of those in private life, but also of
those on the stage. The American
operatic singers in France are, as a
class, regarded as patterns of pro
priety. INDEPENDENCE OF THE AMERICAN GIRL.
Since coming to Europe, I do not
see so much objection as I did before
to the American custom of allowing
young ladies to receive visits of gei.
tlemen, and go out alone with them
to balls and picnics as well as to the-,
aters and the houses of friends. The
idea of allowing such freedom to
girls astonishes and shocks German
and French mothers. But the differ
ence does not stop there. The Euro
pean -young man is. not only not per
mitted to see the girl alone in her
own house, but he must not call on
her, nor must he make frequent vis
its to her family circle. Thiit acquaint
ance which, in San Francisco, would
permit a young man to pay a visit of
an hour once a month to a girl, with
out suggesting any idea, save that of
friendly attention, will not in Ger
many permit more than half an hour
once in three months, and then the
visit is made to the mother. The
daughter here rarely goes to any
place of amusement without the
mother, and then the male escort, if
any, is usually father or brother.
THE SEXES LIVING SEP ABATE LIVES.
This may b9 very safe for the girl,
Tiut consider the effect on the man,
and through him on his later life.
He is practically excluded from the
society of la.die3, except those of his
ASTORIA, OREGON, SATURDy; MARCH J 5, I8rt4.
own family. He may have occasional
invitations to dancing parties in tho
houses of relatives and friends, but
then he meets girls whose education
and circumstances make them shy
and uninteresting in conversation
Previous to marriage each sex leads
a separate existence, and after marri
age the husband often retains the
habits of bachelorhood The club,
the coffee house, the beer shop take
up most of his evenings. Our saloons
may connine as much money, but
not so much time. I do not imagine
that the average American husband
is near perfection, but now I appre
ciate some of his merits better than I
did so long as I had seen nothing of
foreign parts."
Whenl first went to the opera at
Munich and I heard no equal to it
elsewhere I was astonished to see
numerous ladies coming in singly or
in couples without male escorts and
taking reserved seats, and not speak
ing to the occupants of the adjacent
seats. In response to my inquiries
for an explanation, 1 was told that
probabl. half the ladies in the best
park of the house went in that way,
and that the average husband escorts
his wife to a beer garden here a very
respectable resort or to a promenade
on Sunday afternoon, but seldom
takes her ill the evening to a place of
public amusement She goes to the
thcrare with a servant girl, who re
turns to the house, and before the
performance closes goes to meet her
mistress in the lobby. The latter
may be old rnd ps ugly as sin much
more repulsive than some sins are
and the servant may be young and
pretty, but propriety has its demands,
you know. John o'. ffiitell, in Par
