Eastern WasherwOmen.

From the Detroit Free f'resS
The hardest worked washerwomen in the
world are the Coreans. They have to wash
about a dozen dresses for their husbands,
and inasmuch as every man wears panta-
looms or drawers so baggy that they come
up to his neck like those of clown, they
have plenty to do The washing is usually
done in cold water, and often in running
streams. The clothes are pounded with
paddles until they shine like a shirt front
fresh from Chinese laundry.
The Japanese rip their garments apart
for every washing, and they iron their
clothes by spreading them on fiat board
and leaning this up against the house to
dry. The sun takes the wrinkles out of
the clothes, and some of them have quite
a luster.
The Japanese woman does her washing
out of doors Her wash tub is not more
than six inches high and is about as big
around as the average dishpan. She some
times uses Japanese soap, which Is fuil OF
grease and works away with her pare
feet The Chinese girls do their washing
in much the same way.
The washing in Egypt is usually done
by the men. The Egyptian washerman
stands on the banks of the Nile and slans
the wet clothes, with noise like the shot
of a pistol on the smooth stones at the
edge of the running water, and such fellah
women as wash, pound the dirt out of their
clothes in the same way.
French women pound the dirt with pad
dies, often slamminS the clothes upon
stones, as the Egyptians do.
