np in a topknot Each Corean citizen Of i'm
portance carries a sort of wrist bag. where he
keeps what an American would stuff into sew
eral dozen pockets.
It is in Corea that a man is a baby until he is
married. If he persists in being a bachelor,
and thus lives TO toothless dotage, he is still
called by pet names. and in token of his in
feriorty he is compelled to wear his hair down
his back in a pigtaf 1t is only when he weds
that he may put up his hair in the topknot and
cover it with the transparent hat. Bachelors
must go hatless to their graves.
In Corea news and opinions all take the form
Of memorials II a husband would tell his wife
to visit her relatives he must present her with
"a memorial. The present King issues a great
number of memorials. and one of them, which
was on the subject Of dress reform among the
women, almost drove these peaceful folk to civil
war. The King wanted the women to abandon
their topknots, that the men should ENJOY
this distinction alone. Here is the memorial:
Laws and edicts proceed from the King
Treaty relations must be observed with
the rest of the world, and changes be intro
duced into politics. We have. therefore, intro
duced a new calendar q title Of the reign, and
changed the style Of dress and cut off the top
knot You should not regard us as loving inno-
vations Wide sleeves and topknots have be-
come familiar by usage. The topknots ana
hair bands stand in the way of health. as you
know Nor is it right that in this day OF ships
and vehicles we should stick to these customs.
But the edict caused such revulsion of pop
ular feeling that it was finally Withdrawn.
In this land of Confucianism the Fourth Com

Corean son does not leave his father when he
is twenty-one OF several years earlier. should
the opportunity present itself. Instead, he cares
for him with as constant attention as if the
father was indeed his sweetheart. When
Corean son meets his father on the street he
bows almost to the ground and greets him
with the most affectionate language. If the
father should fall sick the son gives up his
business or his own family duties and stays
closely by the paternal couch. Should the
father be cast into prison the son stands with
out the DOOR and if driven into exile the son
goes. too.
Divorces are not common in Corea as IN
the United States, because husband and wife
do not have the same chance to grow tired of
each other. The marriage is always arranged
hv the parents Of the bride and bridegroom.
and after the wedding the husband and wife
see little of each other. He goes his way
and associates with his own companions. She
lives in her world and busies herself apart with
Ter duties and pleasures. If she is a woman of
rank she never goes into the public streets unless
behind the curtains of a palanquin. No one
can see how gayly she is painted or what gor-
goous hairpins adorn her tresses.
