Face p. Bl. KOREANS AT HOME. 61 a coffin of thick wood and kept for several months in a specially prepared chamber, and to this chamber his son, real or adopted, must come daily to mourn and lament. Clad in a frock of coarse grey cotton, his head bound with linen rags, he must prostrate himself before the coffin, groaning out, "Aiko, aiko." A "Guide for Mourners" is issued by the Government, which pre- scribes not only the proper times for weeping, but also the appropriate sounds to be made for... parents and other relatives ! The 'Koreans bury their dead, the favourite situation for graves being the slopes of low, grass-covered hUls. The funeral procession is preceded and accom^ panied by a number of hired mourners bearing lantern^, and when, as is often the case, the funeral is held after nightfall, these are lit, and give a strange, unreal look to the train of white chairs which convey the pale-clad mourners. The only spot of colour is the coffin itself, which is painted in brilliant shades after the ancient fashion of Cathay.
