WIDOWS IN MADAGASCAR.

‘
There are no gay widows in Mada­
gascar—not, at least, for one year ufter
the husbaud has died. In Madagascar,
on the death of any man of position,
on the day of the funeral the w ife is
placed in the house, dressed in all her
best clothes and wearing her silver or­
naments. of which in general she pos­
sesses a considerable quantity. There
she remains until the rest o f the house
have returned from the funeral.
As soon as her relatives return they
begin to revile her in most abusive
language and tell her that it is her
fault that she has been stronger than
her husband and that she Is really the
cause of his death. They proceed to
tear the ornaments from her ears nnd
neck and arms and give her a coarse
cloth and a spoon with a broken han­
dle and a dish with the foot broken
off Her hair Is disheveled, nnd she Is
covered with a coarse mat. under which
she remains all day long and can only
leave at night. And she may not speak
to any one who goes into the house.
Neither is she allowed to wash her face
or bands, but ouly the tips of her fin­
gers.
All this the Madagascar widow en­
dures for a year, or at least for eight
months, and even when this is over her
time for mourning is not ended for a
considerable period.
The Inst straw consists of the fact
that she is not allowed to go home to
her own relatives until she baa been
