BOOK OF THE ROYAL BLUE.

THE DANGERS OF POLITENESS.

The Korean women are simple, you know.
They don't change their customs wherever they go,
Nor yet must their husband provide a new gown
Whenever the lady goes shopping in town.
The hardest of all that he's called on to do
Is providing a cognomen-something quite new—
Whenever he marries the maid of his choice

(And some names he chooses are hard on the voice).
Now, for an example, just let us suppose
Kam-Hi weds the daughter of General Goes.
She loses the name that she had in her youth,
And doesn't take that of her husband, forsooth.
If, perchance, she is fond of the garden, her name
Is as long as a Middlesex cricketing game:
"Mrs.-General's-Daughter-Who-Sailed-O'er-the Seas-
Now-the-Gardening-Lady-Who's-Planting-the-Peas.'
If someone should go-say if you, or if I—

To call on the consort of Mr. Kam-Hi,
And forgot all that part about gardens and things,
And say, "Mrs.-Beautiful-Lady-Who-Sings-
All-the-Topical-Songs-When-the-Evening-Is-Cool,
I am glad, ma'am, to welcome you here in Seoul.”
It is likely Kam-Hi would then take off his coat
And wind up his beautiful Panhard Garrote,
And dispatch us forthwith to those lands of the Blest
Where Bhudda holds forth and where all of the rest
Of the Korean gods and their goddesses hold
A court for the passing of judgment. I'm told
The miscalling of names is a capital crime

For which most of the citizens have to do time,
Which is graded according to what kind of sin
You have done upon earth, and which gate you get in
When you come up to Bhudda who asks what you've done,
And you hold up one finger and say, "Just the one
Little thing upon earth which is wicked, you see.'
"Did you spell his name Thomson, without any P?"
Asks Bhudda, the Just, and you answer with scorn:
"Ah, no, never that. Never since I was born
Has a sin so prodigious been laid at my door."
Then Bhudda inquires if there's anything more.
"Ah, yes," shouts the angel, in clarion tones,

"He said, 'Mrs. Smith,' and her real name was 'Jones.'"
