--EOUL, s~O9.-(Special Correspond
ence of The Bee)-The empress
of Korea rode yesterday in an
- open carriage through the
HB592af$k streets OF Seoul. She was on
~ her way from one OF her pal
aces to another. She sat beside the en-
peror on the back seat. The sun shune
bright, her face was unveiled and all the
world could see. There were thousands
OF men upon the streets at the time. They
formed long lines of white against the
black huts. With their big hats and long
gowns, their yellow faces were turned
straight toward her majesty and their al
mond eyes almost popped out in surprise.
Such an event would mean little In any
European country. 1t marks one of the
most striking changes that are going on
in Korea. 1t indicates that the new
woman Is on the ground with both feet,
and that from now on the sex will grad
ually make it's way upward out Of its
present state of degradation. Until now,
no man outside the emperor and the e1-
nuchs OF the palace has ever seen the
features of Korean female royalty. When
/ was here twenty years ago, g young
american girl had just come out to act
as physician TO the queen. She was the
first woman doctor ever known in Korea,
and her majesty awaited her coming rather
than have the foreign medical mission
aries, who we're at that time all men,
examine her. When the latter were called
In consultation they were not allowed to
see the queen, and when they felt her
pulse her hand was thrust out through
a screen and nothing else was shown.
.
Whore the Ladies' Stay at Home.
The Korean women are not gadabouts.
Until now all those Of the high and mid
die classes nave been more secluded than
the females Of the Mohammedan harems
They have quarters Of their own, which
are in the backs of the houses or in spe-
cial establishments far off from those OF
the men. Some of the noblest have never
been outside their own compounds, and
of the middle classes very few go out
today except in closed chairs. In the
past il has beer a crime for a man Ia
lay his hand on a woman outside his
own family, and any man who looked
over the wall OF a garden TO see the
women within was sure to be punished
The husband has had absolute power over
his wife and concubinss. They have beer

women who inhabit this country are still

now prevails go, practically slaves. I an
told that many OF them have sucl
strength OF character that they rule thel
homes. Nevertheless, the fact remain
that the men can beat and mutflate then

came from well-to-do families, and their
sisters, cousins and aunts were present to
see them. The most of these had cloaks
or wells of some kind or other over their
faces, out the girls themselves had no
such covering, and hey exercised without
shame.
In the past the women of Korea have
been almost entirely uneducated, and to-
day those of the higher class are Just
beginning to send their children to school.
The lower and middle-class women have
sent their children to the mission schools
for a number of years, and for this reason
many of the teachers in the girls schools,
which contain the children of the nobility
as well as other girls, are of the lower
classes. This is not so of the higher school,
founded by Lady ON for girls Of the upper
crust. 1t is composed of daughters of the
vaughan or mobiles. There Is also a school
for girls established by this same consort
Of the retired emperor. which has only
the daughters of the middle class. Both
schools are giving a foreign education to
their pupils and are doing great good.

The schools which have been established
for girls arc perhaps the most striking
evidence of the new woman movement.
There are many OF these, some run by
the missionarieA, some by the government

in addition many private schools, At this

Just here / wish to say a few words
about Lady ON. Until the abdication
of the emperor in 1907 she was the
leading lady of this land, and as such
did much for her sex. While not the
empress by actual marriage, she was
practically SO to all intents and pur-
poses. She is the old emperor's favorite
concubine, or consort, as she is called
by the japanese. 1 understand his
majesty is true to her, and that she al
lows no others of the Iadies-in-waiting
about the court to come near him. She
is the mother of the crown prince, who
is now being educated in Japan, and as
sucn she will probably maintain her in
fluence even after that of the old en-
peror has become less than it is now.
Lady ON came into the palace when

her necessities. Finding that she could not
continue the supply for her school from her
own purse, she made over certain lice
lands which had been given to her from
those belonging to the crown, saying that
their revenues would be enough to support
them. The Japanese, however, considered
the amount too liberal, and, as l under
stand it, they have cut down the allow
ance one-half, and are now devoting the
remainder to the support of other
schools established by the government. On
top of all this there was a short rice crop
last harvest, and, altogether, the schools
are in much need of more money.
