Our Little Korean Cousin

On opening the door there was seen standing at the entrance a man rather poorly clad in the white garments worn by nearly all the people of Korea. But upon his head, instead of the ordinary cone-shaped hat worn by the men of the country, was a very peculiar structure. It was made of straw and was about four feet in circumference. Its rim nearly concealed the man’s face, which was further hidden by a piece of coarse white linen cloth stretched upon two sticks and made fast just below the eyes.
