Corea is the land Of white GARMENTS
and black hats. All the men in this
country, except coolies, wear either
white or blue long flowing gowns. Cot
ton and silk goods are worn in winter
aud linen and hemp in summer. Dur
Ing the last several years a great deal
Of silk has been imported, both from
China and Japan, tAe native article be-
ing Of little value.
The ordinary street gown generally
has three broad flaps, one Of which
hangs down the back and the other
two In front overlap each other. then
are tied with a pair of long ribbons
Of the same material The daps reach
within a few inches Of the ground. The
gown has very wide and long sleeves,
In each Of which one might carry n
baby without its being noticed. and
they are long enough to conceal the
hand completely, while an extension Of
the sleeve reaches almost as low as the
flaps above mentioned. Another gown
Of the same pattern, except with short
er and narrower sleeves, Is always
worn under the first. But persons In
the Government service. including all
members Of the nobility, wear a gown
having from one to three large haps,
which are broad toward the ends. This
gown, with the exception Of its sleeves,
is more like the dress Of an American
girl Of II ar II. 1t is always made Of
fine goods, well starched, and on windy
days its flaps and sleeves create quite
a huttering and rustling noise in the
streets. The winter coats and tro,I-
sers-the latter always white-are very
large and heavily padded with cotton.
A most singular thing Is that the hose
worn BY COreans are always thickly
padded in summer as well as In winter;
consequently. every one seems to have
thick and large feet. although quite the
contrary is true.
The ordinary street hats have broad
brlms and high crowns. They are
made Of fine bamboo splits and are COW
cred with fine linen cloth and then lac
quercd with black. Hats covered with
silk are worn by people Of rank. Per-
sons in mourning for their parents
wear hats as large as umbrellas and Of
similar shape. They are made Of coarse
bamboo splits without any covering Of
cloth. 1t is customary for every mourn
er to carry a little hempen screen at
tached to the ends Of two bamboo
sticks held up conveniently in front Of
his face. These uncomfortable trap
pings are intended to indicate his re-
gret that he did not make his parent
or parents happier while they were liv-
ing. So 1t is that for period of one or
two years he is ashamed Of seeing the

The "Whita Wonan"

In some parts Of Germany, particu.
larly in Bohemia, some most eXtraordi-
nary tales are reported Of the white
woman" This celebrated ghost is sup
posed to represent a woman Of very
modest appearance, excessively tall,
and her dress entirely white. She IL
never seen without q very long veil
reaching nearly to her ankles, and
which is Of such an lmperyicus natur
that no person has ever been able to
obtain a glimpse of her features. On
one single occasion, however. 1t Is re-
ported that she condescended TO lift up
her veil. when such a blaze Of beauty
burst upon the astonfshed beholder that
hc was actually rooted to the spot for .
considerable time. The lady never
leaves her subterranean or hAr celestial
abode but for the charitable purpose
Of informing an Individual Of ap-
preaching death. Thus It is very COM
mon to say In some parts Of Germany
the white woman" has visited him,
meaning thereby that all hopes are
vanished of a recovery, and there are
not few IN that country who pay lit
tie or no attention to the declaration Of
the physician respecting the immediate
dissolution of the patient until II has
been ascertained whether the white
woman has paid her foreboding visit.

Women who have suffered severely

OLD-TIME ENGAGEMENTS.
Younx Woman Mnst Always Wear Il

Young Woman Mnst always Wear tho
Picture of Her Future Husband.
For Helen Livingston there remained
hardly one more year of happy girl
hood, free to so and come. dance and
be merry. in the old innocent girlish
fashion; for at that time betrothal was
rs sacred as marriage itself, and much
more restrictive OF privileges. That
is, the freedom of girlhOOd WAS lost,
and that of the matron had not come.
If the lover were present, of course
these restrictions were not felt. but In
his absence the poor girl had little more
liberty than a Hindu widow. She
must not accept even the most Ordinr
airy attentions from any man, must
dance with no one except her father or
brother. and she must always wear
conspicuously displayed hanging from
her neck, face outward, the miniature
of her future husband.
These miniatures were often skillful-
ly painted in ivory, and were usually
oval in shape. and about three and q
half inches by two and half IN size,
without counting the gold frames,
which were sometimes quite heavy.
The broad remarks which 1t was con-
sidered in order for even the chance ac-
quaintance to address to the fiancee
upon sight of this badge Of appropria-
ton were intolerable to Helen Living
ston, and rather than subject herself
to them she resolutely refrained from
accepting an invitation even to her
loved Cousin Chancellors" during the
few months Of her engagement, which
ended In happy marriage In the spring
of 1900.
On one occasion, when a large and
most interesting company Of American
and foreign guests was expected at
Clermont. Helen vainly sought her
mothers permission to attend without
wearing the tell-tale portrait. Finding
that this would not be allowed. and
realizing that her sisters disappoint-
ment would be great. "Sister Patty"
only 10, but already tall and stately,
heroically volunteered to wear the OBJ
noxious picture, personating its right.
full owner. But the innocent fraud was
not permitted, and as Helen would not
go If obliged to wear the miniature she
was compelled to relinquish the covet-
ed pleasure. OF course the boy lover
he was barely 21-was in no way re-
sponsible for this custom, which he
subsequently often. and justly. charac-
terized as odious; and think that he
never liked to see the miniature which
had been the means Of depriving Of
ever SO small a pleasure the woman
whom he idolized through long life

THE CAPTAINS BOY:

he kissed her then,
And told her not to be so sad, for he'd
come back again,
And then we all sat there awhile, and
papa looked at me-

"Why must you go away to hghtY' my
mamma said, at last;

for that is pastl
Why must they call on you, for oh, what
wrong have you to battle for?
Why don't they just have people go who
got the country into warp
~ haven't anything to say about the
wrong or right"
My papa said, Il go away, when they tell
me to, and fight;
I'm not Supposed to think or know-all
have got TO do
Is take up arms at once and go, when
others tell me to-"
My mamma covered up her face and had
to cry again,
And everything about the place seemed
kind of solemn. then,
And so we all sat there awhile, and papa
looked at me,
And / wisht they was some other style of

1t Had stopped but Twice. on Two Very

Tie had sent for his old mother to
come and spend the holidays with him
and his fashionable wife in their fine
consented to a weeks visit, telling him
she would explain why she limited the
time When she saw him.
1t was n queer excuse, and 1t made
him laugh. but it was very real to her.
Maybe you don't remember, Danl,"
she said. "'but the old clock has to be
wound up every eight days. and no
other hand but fathers ever wound
that clock. Since he died I've never
once neglected it. Now you see
couldn't possibly stay"
He wanted to say. Let the old thing
run down." but something In her face
stopped him. He felt as IL 1t would be
talking disrespectfully Of his father.
He gave his mother the choice Of all
the guest chambers and she chose the
plainest. 1T will be more like home."
She said.
1t dawned upon him the third day Of
her visit that his mother was not hap
ry-that she missed something. 1T
can't be the clock" he thought. ut
doesn't need winding yet"
Eut II was the clock, and when he
taxed her with undue affection for that
antique piece Of furniture she acknowl-
edged how much she missed 1t.
Especially at night, DanI. When l
hear the clocks striking here think Of
that poor. lonesome thing striking tho
hours with nobody to hear. 1t does
make me homesick, I'm afraid"
Then she told him-what he had for
Gotten-that she could tell when tho
sun and moon rose and what day Of the
month 1t was by the self-regulating cal-
endar Of that clock, and how 1t eX-
planned the whole solar system, and
that the deeds to their property and all
his fathers letters to her had always
been kept in the bottom Of the clock,
and 1t had never in all their united lives
stopped but once. and that was the
night father died. No one could tell
how 1t happened, for It had been
wound up. And then she cried softly,
and her grown-up boy comforted her.
The next morning when they went b
call her she lay asleep with the sweet
est smile on her tranquil facA but she
never responded to their call.
