This lady, it appears, < was the daughter of an American Aletho- t j ilist missionary named lirowu, who left ] ; Appleton, Wisconsin, in 1868, and settled ij in Seoul with his wiio and child, MUs •I Brown being then iivo years old. Tho j [j Rev. Mr.. Brown was the lirst Protest- , H ant missionary to enter Korea. Miss i Brown learned tho Korean language, so ii well that sho became interpretress be|i tiveen the missionaries and the native il Government. By her good looks, her sweet' . ij voice and her captivating manner sho ;'; won, as several others had already done, _ the heart of the King, with the result that ho proposed she should join his ', harem. 'There was natural hesitancy on her part to ,take the step; but the NewYork paper declares that, after two years, "when the mission was in financial ( straits," sho agreed to become one of the King's wives on getting "a promise of marriago in her father's mission as soon as conditions permitted/' Mis"s Emily Brown, as she still was, bore the King u son. some timo later the King's first wiio died, and then the mission wife was made queen, aud her son was declared : heir-apparent.
