Geneyieve was not only charming;

Daughter was sixteen and in a
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 a true corn yell
low, and that shade OF hair is the
easiest thing In the world to keep
from turning gray. All wise woman

Genevieve's hair was not at all arti-

given all their beautiful switches to

inches and her hair was smooth and

How Shopping Is Regarded.
In Korea IL Is otherwise The
women regard shopping as neces-

counters and shelves and in show

for trade or argue for 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
fair emulator of the highly-respecte

of conservation during the halcyon
days of the Hermit Kingdom when no
