The embassy that recently arrived ia WASH

SIDES. Their coming is regarded as important
fpbm the fact that this act on the part OF tho
corean government indicates new step In the
direction OF advanced civilization by the Nongolian

japanese have already gone far ahead OF their
neighbors and now the Coreans propose To learn
from European and American nations the ways
and means OF Advancement. Embassies have been
simultaneously sent TO the principal European
governments as well as 60 our own, and there
seems 20 be determination on the part OF these

THE coREas GLIDE
The principal feature OF attraction about the
Coreans is their unique dress, which consists OF
descnption-defying mass OF skirts and fiounces Of
the richest Of silks that rustic softly they walk.
And their walk Is unique as well; it is a stately
glide that greatly resembles the advance step
