Korean MARRIAGES.

Marriages between widows and
bachelors are very much in favor in
Korea because not nearly so much
money is required from the bridegroom
as in the case of his marriage with a
young girl. The ~impecunious bride
groom is scorned by the parents Of the
girl and he is also unable to pay for
the elaborate wedding ceremonies
which must take place. All Of this he
escapes by running off with a widow.
1t happens in Korea. as in other coun.
tries, that the impecunious bachelor
is often more desirable from every
point Of view but a m%ercenary one
than the well to do member of the
community. Consequently, the widow
has a way of attaching a handsome
young husband to herself that might
we'll be envied by the young girl.

GET AFTER SUMMER PESTS
This Is the Time to Wage War Against
the Deadly Fly and tho An
noyino Mosquito.

Let US bear In mind that one Of
the prime objects OF a spring cleanup
Is to eliminate the fly and the mos
quito. When we are exercising our
muscles n our ingenuity Kidding
our dwellings and neighborhoods OF
dust and filth. 1t will be worth our
while to give these twin winged pests
serious attention.
The first spring fly, Dr. course. came
some time ago, though she Is still
pleasantly modest and retiring. 1t Is
not reassuring. however, to reflect
that the little insect Is keeping care
fully out Of our sight and the reach
Of our swatters while she lays a few
myriads OF eggs, which presently will
harS" out into a whole flying regiment
Of |nuisances and disease-carriers.
The shy and unobtrusive mosquito
is making the best use of her time
for the same purpose. When the open
season on human beings arrives she
hopes to have a whole army corps OF
her progeny to lead to the attack.
Now is the time to get busy II we
want TO preserve ourselves from the
pests a few months hence. The swat
ter and the kerosene can are fully as
important household implements at
this season as the broom and the
scrubbing brush.

The house itself wore another air.

vanished The soft gray tone Of age

In her room Shirley %undressed
thoughtfully. There was between her
and her mother a fine tenuous bond
of sympathy and feeling as rare, per-
haps, as it was lovely. She could not
remember when the other had not
been a semi-invalid, and her earliest
childhood recollections were punctu-
ated with the tap of the little cane.
Tonight's sudden indisposition had
shocked and disturbed her; to faint
at a rush Of perfume seemed TO sug
gest a growing weakness that was
alarming. Tomorrow, she told herself,
she would send Ranston with a wagon
load of the roses to the hospital at
Charlottesville.
She slipped on a pink shell-shaded
d~ressing-gown of slinky silk with a
riot of aZaleas scattered in the weave,
and then. dragging her chair before
the open window. drew aside the light
! curtain and began to brush her hair.
All at once her gaze fell upon tho
floor, and she shrank backward from a
twisting t~hread-like thing whose bright
saffron-yellow glowed sharply against
the dark carpet. She saw in an in
slant. however, that II was nothing
more dangerous than a fragment of
love-vine from the garden, which had
chung to her skirt. She picked up
the tiny mass of tendrils and with a
slow smile tossed 1t owe her right
shoulder through the window. III 1t

heart loves me" She leaned from the
sill to peer down into the misty gar
den. but could not follow its fall.
Long ago her visitor would have
reached Damory Court. She had a
vision of him wandering. candle in
hand. through the empty echoing
rooms, looking at the voiceless por-
traits on the walls. thinking perhaps
he had never known. She liked the
way he had spoken of his father!
AS she leaned. out of the stiffness
there anne to her ear a mellow sound.
1t was the bell of the courthouse in
the village. She counted the strokes
falling clearly or family as the slug
gish breeze ebbed or swelled. 1t was
eleven.
She drew back. dropped the curtain
to shut out the wan glimmer, and in
the darkness crept into the soft bed
as II into q hiding-place.
