SILENT BRIDES OF KOREA.
Newly-Made Husband May Not Hear
His Wife's Voice for Months
After His Marriage.

Here is picture brought from the
far east only a short time ago which
shows exactly how the silent brides"
as those of Korea are called with so
much reason, look on the wedding day.
It may be said that although the robes
depicted therein remind one somewhat
of Japanese garments, the broad girdle,
with it's enormous knot at the back.
which is found on the island girls
kimona, is not a part of the Korean
bellies decoration, while the sleeves
edged with deep white bands are much
larger than those worn across the
straits -.
The headdress, a most important
part of the quaint outfit, is peculiar to
Korean brides. Made of heavy CLOTH.
carefully quilted and stiffened with a
sort of canvas lining, it covers all ex-

about foot above the head. The large
wooden pins at the back hold the head

but who want to shine at summer
camps, where the gentler sex is not
present.
Good, plain, old-fashioned fare is
prepared and the dishes are made up
in the most appetizing manner. Ev-
cry kind of vegetable and fruit that
grows in the garden, bread, biscuit,
old-fashioned buckwheats, stews, roasts
and soups are prepared by the boys.
The fact that the good things cooked

ably at a table where the lady teacher
does the honors, is one of the reasons

DREAM BRIDE IN BRIDAL GOWN.

gear securely in place, the ribbon fall
ing over the left shoulder being decora~
tive only.
Dressed in this costume the young
woman who, since her parents have ar
ranged all her marriage affairs, per"
haps never has seen her future hus-
band, is led before the priest for cere-
mony which probably has no equal for
simplicity. At word from the priest
the contracting persons, bow to each
other slowly and solemnly and-all is
over! Then the bride goes home to
await further orders, while the hus-
band, gathering about him all his
friends and acquaintance, departs for
an elaborate feast, which he gives in
honor of himself.
Once married the brides family iden-
THY at once sinks before her new name
and she is never known except as So
and-Sos wife. Her chief duty is to
attend strictly to her own business,
not speaking except when necessary.
So firmly is this virtue impressed upon
the young girls mind that several
months often pass before her husband
hears his partners voice, and where
father-in-law is one of the family
whole years of almost absolute silence
are said to elapse. Since the son has
no say in choosing wife or daugh
ter in choosing husband, the parents
are held responsible by the community
for the proper marriage of their chill
dren. If man allows his son to reach
the age of 20 unmarried, his neighbors
consider him sadly lacking in his duty
to his son.-Kansas City Star.

BOYS WANT TO BE COOKS.
New Jersey High-school Students
Anxious to Be Camp Chefs,
Form Cooking Class.

Thirty-two stalwart young men,
some over six feet high, have formed
themselves into cooking class, which
is probably the only institution of its
kind in the world.
All the boys belong to the Orange
IN. j. high school, and the cooking
class meets after school hours. In
quiries have come from England con-
corning it, and similar classes are to be
started there. The class has been in
existence over a year, and the pupils
are athletic young fellows who have
no idea of taking the places Of cooks,

JUST A WORD OF WARNING.
1ndiscriminate Kissing of Babies Is
Cruelty for Which There
Is No Excuse.

There are many mothers who give
themselves infinite trouble about the
big and obvious things connected with
nursery management, who strive brave
ly to be up to date in the matter of
plumbing, ventilation ard infectious
diseases, but who fail wofully when it
comes to certain details. One Of the
most important of these is the disgust
ing and dangerous habit of allowing
every conner to kiss and maui the baby.
A baby, no doubt. is delightful OBJ
ject and almost irresistible, but that is
no reason why advantage should be
taken of his helpless condition to Of
fer him hygienic outrages. Mothers
should know that promiscuous kissing
is a bad and vulgar habit, productive
of much danger to adults as we'll as to
children. Adults can protect them
selves If they like, but infants cannot,
and so it is the duty of the mothers to
protect them. know of case where
a visitor left with clinging kiss on
the lips of three-year-old girl the
quick germs of mumps, from which the
guest had just recovered.

But it may be that there turks some

Hint for Lovers Of Lace.

If you have bit Of white lace that YOU
want to give that rich cream tint that SO
many admire, mix little cream-colored
starch with the white or add to the dry
white starch a little clear coffee or tea
before pouring on the boiling water. The
tea or coffee gives duller tint than the
cream starch, which is apt to be too yell
low. Instead of starch or gum arabic
many persons prefer little powdered
sugar dissolved in the last water the
lace Is rinsed in.

After a Shower of Rain.

A shower of rain will often apparently
ruin silk dress or blouse. Before maxi
ing sure that it has done so see what
ironing it will do. Often the silk may
be made to look quite new again by be-
ing ironed with moderately hotiron on
the wrong side. A piece of muslin laid
over the silk prevents any chance Of it,
being made shiny.

Isolation of Consumptrves.

It has sometimes been suggested that the place for ultra fads and faidlsts to exploit their fancies would be on some island in the southern Pacific far enough away from the great world of humanity to relieve the latter of the nuisance inseparable to the breaking up of old customs and the introduction of new ones. Acting upon this idea, perhaps, the people of Australia, New South Wales, and adjacent islands, are embodying some of the extremely radi- cal notions of the time in legislation, and experimenting in them for the ben eft of mankind. One Of these radical ventures is the compulsory arbitration system they are trying with poor re- suits over in that quarter of the world. Now, 1t is announced In the London Daily Mail that at Victoria consump- tion is to be treated as an infectious disease and all sufferers from it are to be completely isolated. That will be stamping out the white plague with a vengeance. The unnecessary misery that would be inflicted by the enforce inert of such a law cannot be estimat- ed, and all for the sake of gratifying the notions of a few professional cranks who want to indulge their curiosity and augment their reputation at the ex- rense of their fellow beings.

represented by the employers, quite 1.s foolishly pounding it on the other, it is no wonder that the national guard |languishes in many states. New York has had for not quite six months a statute making this stupidity penal offense, but the law. it is charged, isn't half as strictly enforced as it ought to be and New York state employers. as a olass. are about as bad in this respect as eIn ployeIs elsewhere. Public opinion among the employing class needs to be educated until every employer has been taught to admire and copy the example of the few manufacturing concerns that have announced that every mem- Der of the national guard in their srl- ploy shall be paid full time ior every hour he spends at drill, on parpde, at rifle practice or in riot duty. This would cost trifle. but the money thus expended is really paid for insurance
