Celibate Cult Enrolls Girls. Chinese Silk Workers Sworn Never To Enter Bonds Of Wedlock. Death Enforces Vow. So Hee Daughters Recruit Ranks By Adoption And Power Grows. CANTON, Nov. 24. (/P)--Thirty miles south of here, in the city of great goodness, Tai Liang, county seat of Shen Tack, benevolent virtue, has been discovered the headquarters of a strange feminist society known as So Hee Nyu Tsze, or Comb Up the Hair Daughters. It is secret organization, powerful in its influence, and has existed for centuries. Little is known of its purposes, but it is a good example of the scores of mysterious organization flourishing in all parts of China. Region Is Prosperous. The Shen Tack district is rich and prosperous, being the heart of the Canton silk belt, and has a population of more than 1,000,000 persons. As there is always plentiful employment in the area, it is easier for women to achieve financial independence in Shen Tack than almost anywhere else in China. The members of this society, commonly called the So Hee Daughters, are experts in the handling of silk worms and cocoons and in the growing of mulberry leaves which form the silk worm's sole diet. In recent years the So Hee Daughters have spread from their original home and are now strongly intrenched in the Canton metropolitan area. Many are employed in factories, while hundreds of others find their livelihood as servants to foreigners as well as to Chinese. Secrets Remain Secret. Virtually nothing is known to outsiders of the natures of the organization, rules or discipline of the society, except that it has some arrangement for insurance and self-help and that all its members are under oath not to marry, on pain of torture and death at the hands of the society. It is said that several members in past years have broken their vows and married and that the society trailed them down and forced them to take one of the many Chinese substitutes for the hemlock cup. The old Chinese custom of betrothing children in infancy, sometimes even arranging marriages on speculation for their unborn heirs, has made difficulties for the society. In such cases the sisters attempt to buy off the affluence husband. If this falls, the unfortunate So Hee Daughter goes through the marriage ceremony, but never lives with her husband and seizes the first opportunity to run away. Goes On By Adoption. The perpetuity of this strange cult is arranged for by the purchase and adoption of daughters by the So Hee sisters. In hard times girl babies can be had anywhere in China for the asking. These adopted daughters are trained up in the ways of the society and eventually take all the vows. They are hired out at an early age and a portion of their wages goes to support the aged and indigent sisters. Instances are known of four living "generations" of adopted So Hee Daughters. They recognize no sexual differences in names, calling their adopted daughters and granddaughters sons and grandsons often as not. This custom is to emphasize the legality of their heirs, who necessarily take the place of sons in worshipping at the graves and in the sacrificial rites to their adopted ancestors.
