Silent brides.

In Korea during the whole Of the
marriage day the bride must be as mute
IA statue. If she says word or even
makes Il sign, she becomes AN object of
ridicule. and her silence must remain
unbrolScn, even in her own room, though
her husband should attempt to break it
by taunts. jeers or coaxing, for the
female servants are all on the watch for
such breach of etiquette as speech,
hanging about the doors and chinks TO
catch up and repeat even single utter
ance, which would cause her to lose
caste forever in her circle.
This custom of silence is observed
with the greatest rigidity among the
higher classes. IL may be week or sew
eral months before the husband knows
the sound of his wife's voice, and even
after that for length of time she only
opens her mouth FOR necessary speech
With the father-in-law the custom of
silence is still more rigid, and the
daughter-in-law often passes years with
out raising her eyes to his or addressing
word to him. In Bulgaria a month &
silence is imposed on brides unless
specially addressed by the husband.

No Diamonds For Her.

Here is story from The Boolrman.
told by Rudyard Kipling. His father.
John Kipling, went to pay a visit to
an Indian rajah who was about to bring
home queen. The elder Kipling had
been engaged in the decorations Of the
palace. and its owner showed him the
gifts Of stuffs and perfumes he had pro-
cured for his coming spouse The rajah
also sent for his jewel caskets and asked
Mr.. Kipling to assist him in selecting
the gems to be included in the marriage
gifts. They were Of extraordinary size
and value, such gems as are seldom
seen except in the east, and to the artist
the selection was pleasure. Finally
he lifted a wonderful diamond, one of
the choicest gems In the collection, and
said lyon should send this. No WON
an could resist it, The rajah looked
up. caught 1t and held 1t jealously to his
breast, then, slowly replacing it in
the casket, answered. "Nay. such gems
be not for women"

was shopping. She was in a store on Mar

covered. An hour later Miss Garrick was
informed by some one of the cutting of her
dress. Her case was also reported to Lieut.

From time to time the police have been
informed that people answering different
descriptions had been suspected of cutting
garments. Most of the slashing appears to
have been done with a razor or knife
While majority of the members of the
police force believe the work is being done
by man. others suspect it is a woman.
The first mentioned belief is strengthened
by the fact that the cutter has operated
both in Philadelphia and this CITY.

decided to offer reward of 500 for infor-
