Ctiu Kwm. In Korea, where Chinese customs predominate, it is hard to account for the origin of the veil. The women of o tbe middle and upper classes are kept most sedulously guarded. The latter are seldom allowed to go out at all, and then only at night. A curious tale la told to account for a certain feature of the veils. This consists ol a pair of dependent and evidently useless sleeves with culls, of another color, at the bottom. Veil Is not a proper word to use for this head covering, for It Is of thik material cotton, linen or grass cloth and it wruld be Impossible to. see anything through It It Is always white, to match the other Korean garments. As a nation from collie to mandarin they all wear It. The woman Is obliged to push the folds of the veil away from her eyes so that she may look through the pertiire. The tale concerning them le this: Several hundred years ago, when Korea was fighting the Chinese, the entire Korean army and all the men In the capital of Seoul had marched out in defense of that capital to meet an attacking force toward the north. At the same time another force, unknown to the Koreans, approached Seoul from tbe south. Since every man had already gone to the attack, the city and the remaining Inhabitants were threatened with destruction. The Korean women, however, like their sisters in other parts of the world, devised a plan by which they might fustrate the enemy. They donned their husband's long white garments with the wide sleeves, and gathering together, marched boldly toward the foe, who, appalled by the eight of such aa "unexpected fores Tf Koreans, fled In haste, and the city was saved. When the army returned and It was made known what the women hadjlone, It was decreed that lhere After they should wear mens sleeves Jisnging from their veils as a mark of Ronor aiid a badge of their bravery In the national crisis. Even more uncomfortable than the veils must be the massive headdress of the woman who eta as bridesmaid at a Korean Korean of Iroa-ela- d etiquette demand that she shall be dressed in this way, so no one thinks Of .questioning the custom. Huge masses of false hair as switches, call them are piled in a fantastic way on the unfortunate woman's head till a wonderful effect is obtained.

On the other hand, if people will not eat crow, crow will eat carrion, and it Is feared that these crafty birds might linger too long over the sncculent feasts of the battlefield to make them valuable as carriers of dispatches. However, a society has been formed in Germany to exploit the crow in this new field.
