The Genevieve Who Took a Boy
+o Pa;ea
to Raise

Genevieve was a charming woman.
She was, in fact, a charming widow,
and that is very important indeed.
James was as nice young man as
ever executed a clean shave with a
safety razor or fretted about the way
his trousers were pressed. Though,
for the matter of that, James was no
ladies' man either, and not more in
love with himself than a young man
has right to be.
Genevieve was not only charming;
she was also several years old. Not
an impolite number of course; but
more Junes had slipped by her than
had cast their roses upon the head of
James. She had just about enough
money to take lovely care of herself;
but she also had to take lovely care
of her daughter, who fulfilled to the
letter that old, but true saying used
by the wise Latin people about mater
pulchra, fila pulchrior," which, being
translated, means that mamma used
to be as good looking as daughter is
now.
Daughter was sixteen and in q
boarding school.
James met Genevieve at dinner,
where she was looking lovely, and
where he was so happy as to take
her in. She was lovely. Her hair was
very soft and almost true corn yell
low, and that shade of hair is the
easiest thing in the world to keep
from turning gray. All wise woman
needs is per-well, never mind what.
All she needs is to take it in time,
and it will never fade at all.
Genevieve's hair was not at all arti-
fetal; and her eyes were as blue as
could be and had natural baby-stare
that many younger women would have
given all their beautiful switches to
own. Young Jennie was taller by two
inches and her hair was smooth and
black and shining. But she was at
school.
James fell head over heels in love
with Genevieve. He was wonderfully
good to look at himself, being an
athlete and carrying himself with a
swing and swagger to his shoulders
that spoke of pure, physical arrogance.

are never liked about the house. They
are certainly unpopular with persons
who are habitual and incorporate
users Of alcoholic beverages. In Korea
snakes live about the caves of native
houses and are not feared or disliked.
The native legend about their intro
duction into the country is that a GER
tain prince who was a drunkard or
dered shipload of them from India
to be brought to the palace to drive
away the evil spirits of drink that
possessed him. In other words, to
cure delirium tremens.
In most countries the horse is con-
sidered a better mount than the
donkey. Not so in Korea. Here the
meek and slow moving ass is regard
ed as the mount for a gentleman, and
especially the man of fashion. In
other countries progress IS highly re-
garded, but the tortoise is the emblem
of a dignified and desirable conserva-

Calm" where the evening was equally
calm and the middle of the day more
so when the Koreans ruled the coun-
try.
Street signs are relied upon in the
cities Of other countries, and nowhere
are they more used than in China,
which formerly exercised a shadowy
suzeranity over Korea and was her
neighbor. But in Seoul they we're NOT
used at all before the Japanese came.
In almost all other countries women

chants strive to please them and to
sell them something just as good If
they haven't the article asked for
How Shopping Is Regarded.
In Korea 1t is otherwise. The
women regard shopping as a neces-
sary evil, and the merchants keep
their goods in closets instead of on
counters and shelves and in show
cases. The merchant does not hustle
for trade or argue for a sale. If the
customer asks for something she is
likely TO be shown what the merchant
has and told that he has nothing like
what she wants. The shopkeeper is a
falr emulator OF the highly-respected
tortoise that was the national emblem
OF conservation during the halcyon
days OF the Hermit Kingdom when no
diplomatic or trade relations were
sustained with foreign countries.
