tsMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG:
' THE WOMEN, BY ONE. :-

The native womemof the Philippine
Illslands are generally very pretty and
engaging, with supple figures, beauti-
_ fol eyes, shadowed by long lashes, and
luxuriant black hair: ‘Their hair-may

and they devote much time to its"~ care,
anointing it with‘ ’cocOanut oil and
cleaning it with lemon qu1ce.-
Some Of the women wear it hanging
dOwn their backs, others build it up in
a high .knOt on the top of the head,
whens held in place by a- gold comb
andtornamented with .fancy pins 01 a
hunch oflflbwrers. '
Tlieyr scorn bonnets and hats, but
carry parasols for protection. Most
all of the Women have fine eyes and.
feet of ,vahich they are ve1y proud.
They never wear stockings, but incase
1heirI feet in emb1oidered slippers
without finals- ( .
'T‘h'kv allow the thumb n'a'il Of the
right hand to grow very large, which
assists them in playing ‘the guitar,
Shah favorite instrument. The blouse
ofthe Tagal women consists 'of a little
skir 1 made of pine clOth.

waist-.- .Ehe skirt consists- .of silk,

Phillippine women of all IageIs smoke
.1ng cigars, chew the betel nut, dance,
swim and Iide, but the "great ambition
of ever v woman is to possess a d1 ess, a
scarf at least of the famous pino- Cloth,
Email: it will be remembe1ed, is made
from the fiber of the pineapple Ieaf and
is quite expensive.
The most important industi 5: t that
She women of the Philippines are en~‘
gaged in is tobacco. Women alone are :
employed to make che1oots, and theie
are no less than 4, 000 women busy in
the Manila factOIies.
Men make the cigarillos, or small-
cigars, which are smoked by the -nI_a-,
Sines. Women make all of the "cigars.
”it' .is estimated that 21000 women find
employment in this business, and only
3,500 men.‘ - . . .,
Each room of the enormous factories
contains from 800 to 1, 000 women, all of
whom are seated tailor fashion on the
floor. At intervals are placed little
Round tables, and at every One is seated
a matron whose duty it is to watch
. ever the dozen or so young women and
girls. The noise

AI cigarmaker earns from $6 to $10 a
month, which is quite sufficient to pro-
uide her with necessary comforts and
Beavea balance for dress. The mar-
ried women, Whose husbands earn
their living for them in the'field or
iactory, keep house in a primitive
. fiashion. I
The patriarchial custom of making
"thelover Serve in the house of his
hitended bride’s father is universal
in the Philippines. WIhen marriages
take place there is usually a feast of
several days, and the bride of 15 years
' 3S taken to the small house which her
iftnsband has built with his, own hands.

Feminine Chat.
Company is the true stimulus to
mentality. .
It is the unfamiliar dangers that
make us the most timid.
A woman may be a heroine to every-
one but her little brother.
The troubles that trouble us moSt are
the troubles that never come.
When-a womdn'makes up her mind

is maddening, as
THE EVENING GAZLTTE
. to do a thing she will do it, you may be
sum of that. The tIOuble is, thOugh,
that she has a little feminine trick of
changing her mind about once a
minute. ‘
To'en joy your home thoroughly make
it the spot to which your friends like
to come.
Don’t envy an only child—of all the
forlorn objects on this earth it is the.
most forlorn.
To convince a woman that men are
in no way akin to the angels let her
max ry one of them.
Loneliness is a burden that is very
ha1d to beat, because when shared it
is' no longer a burden.
NO one appreciates letters so much
as the person who has to go to the post
'oflice-to get them.
' Is there any one so well pleased with
his or her looks that there is never a
desi1e to resemble some one else?
A woman’s heart may break, but she
isn’ t going to let the world even know
"that there is the tiniest fissure 1n it.
Don’ tput any man on a pedestal.
:‘SOoner 01 later he will fall down and
"Hi/H's RAMBLING‘S}
the crash will scare you almost to
death.
The amount of ice in the refrigera-
gtor is la1 gely responsible for its being
‘fHomefSweet Home,” or the reverse.
It' Is the easiest thing in the world to
limp friends, but the hardest to pick
’ them up again after they are d1opped.
Even the epicuxe who laugh’s at
woman’s fondness for ice c1eam ens
joys the f1 ozen dainty for dessert these
evenings.
. The ease with which sentimental
compacts are beroken make one believe,
that there is no such thing as real love
in this world any more.
Then: is no use weeping over any-
thing. It makes your eyes 1ed and,
mOIeover, the very thing yOu weep
about to- day you may laugh over to-
morrow . - .
