WIVES IN KOREA.
A tlumorist Who Draws Moral From
Their Silence.

1t Is said that in Korea after ma
tive woman is welded she becomes
practically speechless, says Newton
Newkirk in the Boston Post. This is,
in conformity to custom and caste
A Korean wife does not after mars
riage become absolutely mute, but
she does not speak unless necessi-
ty demands it. And. by the way:
If none of us talked any more
than necessity demanded this world
would be full of large chunks of si-s
lence. The Korean wife does not Chat.
ter like parrakeet. Hot air is some
thing in which she does not deal. OF
course if the house got on fire she
would mention it. or if she were to
keep the fact secret. but she does not
talk over the back fence when she is
bringing in the wash or converse with
her neighbor when she is washing the
windows. If she did, she would lose
her caste and her social rating would
slump faster than 4 copper stock.
Probably many brutal husband
who reads these lines will sigh and
say. "Ah, that my wife were a KO-
reanp There has an Impression got
abroad in this land Of the free and the
home of the CRATER that our women
are endless and tiresome takers. In
the eyes Of the masses the American
wife holds the long distance record as
a continuous conversationalist. And
upon this impression jests and jokelets
are freely built. The eternally talking
wife is prolific source of inspiration
for comic weeklies and the vaudeville
stage. Two comedians come down
| front and. with their noses touching
each other. engage in rapid fire con,
