A recent visitor to the Philippines cays
the women of the Islanil are remarkably
pretty , having big languishing eyes and an
abundance of long hair. This they fasten up
with n big gold pin and then adorn with
flowers. They do not wear hats but use
sunshades and they do so very coauettlshly ;
they wear very dainty show , embroidered In
gold and silver thread , but not stockings.
They iiro distinguished by grace of figure
and movement , nlthough , according to their
Ideas , not especially by refinement of habits ,
for both women and children smoke huge
cigars and Indulge In betel chewing. It Is
their cuotom to keep the thumb nail of the
right hand very long , ns this assists them In
playing their favorite Instrument , the guitar.
An Interesting description of social life In
the suburbs of 'Manila ' \ given In a letter
received a couple of days ago by Miss iMat-
tle Waggoner of St. Lou In , n daughter of Sol
12. Waggoner , vlco president and general
manager of the Citizens' Fire Insurance com
pany , from lr. It. V. Witter , Mr. Waggoner's
nephew , who Is attached to the hchpltil
corps of the Klfiy-llist Iowa Infantry. The
letter was written on March Ith In n llttla

Manila. Their battalion hospital Is a natlvo
pchoolhouse , ho eays , surrounded by ba
nana trees , betel shrubs and Indigo plants ,
nnd a llttlo further away nro rlco fields.
"Uamboo grows In great abundance , " ho
writes , "and nearly everything Is made of
It. " Then howrites : "This Is a much better
hut than some , as the fr.imo ia made of ma
hogany Instead of bamboo , but the sides
and roof are thatclied with leaves. The
native men and women are short and qulto
dark , having straight 'black ' hair and are
quite Intelligent. Those from the moun
tains are more of a negro type , but these
are a combination of natives , Chinese and
Spanish nnd are called Filipinos. The
women wear a eklrt of calico , or some light
Bluff , generally something colored , and a
gray or black pleeo of cloth drawn around
the waist , lucked In. The waist consists of
Borne light material , generally made of
oocoanut liber. Jt Is qulto short and very
loose , and has short , largo , loose sleeves.
The neck , or rather opening at the top , Is
eo largo that usually the waist hangs from
Jtibt below the shoulders. That completes
the dreso , except wooden shoes , with places
for the toes. "
The Filipino usually has a cigarette or a
cigar In her mouth , says the doctor. Somo-
tlmo she wears a straw or bamboo basket-
Bhapod hat , "turned upsldo down. " Con
tinuing ho writes : "Tho men wear light
whlto trousers and light underwear around

Very much has been said and written of
Mrs. McKinlcy , and yet the half of her gon-
tlcnffls nnd beauty of character has nev
er been told , writes Mm. John A. Logan
in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. Her
most charming characteristic IB her perfect
sincerity and tdoughtfulncss for others. No
day passes over her head without her do
ing something for some one. If she hears of
an affliction of any kind overtaking any one
no matter how much a stranger she will
Immediately order bonidthlng sent to that
person , if nothing moro than a bunch ot
flowers or n cheerful message ; In some way
she conveys tier sympathy and good wlsheb.
Her friends endeavor to keep from her
knowledge many Instances of Illness or sorrow
row , because she Immediately makes per
sonal matters of them , and Is untiring In
her Interests until nil is well again. No
ono ever heard her utter a complaint about
her own Ill-health. She Is always bright and
cheerful , never In any way ulludlng to hcr-
self , or to the affliction that has held her
captive for more than twenty years. Her
refined face , sweet smllo and tender ex
pression reflects the spirit of resignation and
loveliness which suffering has wrought.
She Is Interested in everything , with the
enthusiasm of the most vigorous and active
of women. Her busy fingers have wrought
much for charity. Some time ago she had
finished moro than 3,600 pairs of knitted
slippers for ladles and children , all of whom
have been given to frlenda or for charity to
Invalids. Many of these slippers have been
sold for largo sums at church and charity
fairs. It docs not require an expert to
figure that by her own hands Mrs. McKinlcy
has earned a considerable sum for benevo
lent purposes. Her example of continuous
employment demonstrates that occupation
Is the surest defense against ennui and de
pression of spirits nnd morbidness from en
forced confinement , most ot the time within
doors.
The young women of today , In whom she
is devotedly interested , should profit by her
example and refrain from the reckless
waste of time to 'which ' all too many of
them are Inclined.
Her devotion as mother and ivlfo amounts
to Idolatry. The pictures of her angel ba
bies are over befor her. She never wearies
of opeaklng of them and their cherished
beauty and wlnsomeness. When listening to
her as nho talks of thorn with so much
motherly tenderness , ono can scarcely foe-
llevo that a score of years have come and
gone elnco they Joined the cherubs In heaven.
Her adoration of her husband is well
known. No ono can bo in her presence
long without feeling convinced that "out of
the fullness of her heart her mouth speak-
eth. " She Idolizes him In a way lhat Is per
fectly ticautlful ; to her he is far moro than
a perfect man he Is divine. She descants
upon him with all the fervor of a maiden in
her teens. She deeply appreciates the
thoughtfulncss that prompts him to leave
cabinet meetings or othpr Important councils
If they nre at . . ! ! protracted to seek her
nnd eeo that she Is happy and has the com
panionship of some agreeable person. She
Is never left alone or allowed to become
onnuyco by the eocloty of tedious persons.
No matter of state could ever so engross
the president as to make him forget lib
dollcato wife for nn hour. She enjoys every
thing too president does traveling , driving ,
music , birds , flowers , the sight of people.
She can never ho Induced to be separated
from her husband even for a day , unless It
Is impossible for her to accompany him.
The writer heard her rebuke a wife ono day
who announced her intention of going to
Europe , leaving her husband and children
at homo ; and I'm not sure , after Mrs. Mc-
Klnley's remarks , that the lady hod the
heart to carry out her plans. If she did ,
I urn sure her conscience must have reminded
her ot what the 'First Lady in the Land'
{ bought of wives who put the sea ( between
themselves and their families. Verily , the
domestic felicity of the president and Mrs.
McKlnloy demonstrates that there exist in
this world of infelicity at least "two uouls
that are as one. "

lA novel form of entertainment that has
been stamped -with the approval of the fash
ionable throng nt Newport , Lenox and Isllp
Is the puss-ln-tbo-corner party , And In
deed the Idea of amusing a crowd of people
at an afternoon function In this way Is
a most happy one. At this season of the
> car , U seems ns though Americans vvero
no longer content to remain ludoorj , and
drawing rooms and luncheons are equally
shunned , They desire rather to be In the
open air and the moro exercise thcro is com
bined with their pleasure the better it suits
their taste. A stroke of genius la said to
have prompted the first puss-ln-tbc-corner
party ; and that It was a success Is proved
by the way In which the contagion Is spread
ing. A good-alzed lawn , a band of music
and light refreshments ore the necessary
requisites to glvo this entertainment suc
cessfully.
The invitations should bo sent out at least
a week in advance and , as to a cotillion ,
about the same number ot women and men
are Invited. The lawn , naturally , must be
moved and trimmed down to almost the
texture of velvet ; and several seta of stakes ,
forming squares , are set out at right angles
to each other. The larger these squares
can be made the more difficult and there
fore the more interesting the game becomes.
At the top of the stakes are fastened long
dreamers of eally colored ribbons which
serve to keep tbo squares separate. One
will bo of red , another of orange , and
there will bo as many as will accommodate
tbo players that are expected. In fact noses
are counted in Just the same way as for a
ostnl party
The scene , as soon ns tbo guests begin
to arrive , Is as pretty and gay as a swarm
of fluttering butterflies , Almost without
exception the women wear light , fluffy
gowns , while the men appear In the In
evitable white flannels with short blue or
black serge coats. At n hint from the
hostess the men choose partners nnd a rush
Is made for the tables where ribbons to
match these un the respective stakes nro
drawn nnd tied around the right nrms ot
the men nnd the left arms of the girls. The
couples are therefore securely fastened to
gether. When the band strikes up a lively
dcux-tcmps all take their places In thu
squares that match their colors ; n couple
In each corner nnd ono In the center fills
up a square. The old game that Is known
to every child then begins with the cus
tomary signals of "puss ! " "puss ! " When
attempts to cross to the diagonal corner
are made , those tn the center attack boldly
nnd try to capture ono ot the couples and
so condemn them to hold their position ,
while they tnko from them their corner.
Many entanglements and complications are
brought about from the fact that the play
ers nre tied tojethcr ; and sometimes they
arc very comical. A man , who perhaps
has had a scvcro training nt football ,
watches his opportunity nnd urges his part
ner to cross with him. Indeed ho cannot go
without her. The moment is propitious ,
and the goal almost reached , when n tagging
at his arm Indicates that his fair partner
has mysteriously came to grief. Shn has ,
like Cinderella , dropped her high-heel slip
per. In such an emergency , It Is to be sin
cerely hoped that a Just providence will
have doomed tbo equally fair damsel In the
corner to catch her heel In ono of the many
ruchlngs of her long , entwining skirt.
"I could run twlco ns fast In my golf
boots , " ono of thcbo unfortunate maidens
was heard to wall , "but It would be such a
shock to propriety to wear them with u
lawn paity gown. "
"We men will get yon across somehow , "
her sturdy partner replied , "only don't In
any case stop wearing these cloud-like ,
pretty gowns ; they are a positive Joy to be
hold after seeing women on a golf field. "
The game Is plajed for about an hour
when the finish Is announced , and these
that have been in the center the fewest num
ber of limes nro awarded the prizes. A
black star on tbo scoie card Is used to In
dicate the center. It Is regarded as the
best taste to have the prizes simple In char
acter and humorous.
Refreshments are finally served nt small
tables on the lawn , or varamla ; If the lat
ter Is spacious enough It Is really plcas-
anter for the purpose. A salad nnd dainty
sandwiches ; an Ide , fruit and some trlflo
are , with a light champagne or claret punch ,
about the regulation things for such a party.
This , however. Is a matter of taste and
there is no doubt but that whatever
A LA PUIXCCSSK.
tlie hostess might provide would be accept
able ; for the uppetito becomes quickened by
the exercise. In fact , for an afternoon of
real fun and jollity hardly any better form
of amusement could bo devised.

The other day a friend of mlno was mar
ried and one morning , about two weeks
before the eventful day , a curd \\na sent up
to her and < I went down to see the caller , a
Miss Ruruellhct > o name neither ot us
had ever heard belorc. She explained her
business and my friend engaged her.
Karly on the morning of tbo wedding Allan
nurucll appeared with her assistant. The
entire trousseau , and , I might say , the
bride herself was turned over to her. She
11 rat Investigated the wedding outfit nnd saw
that ever } thing \ Mas \ It should he. Slio
Insisted oil the brldo'o remaining quietly In
bed until 10 o'clock , tbo wedding not being
until D o'clock In tbo afternoon , Then fill a
bad her out and tried on the wedding dress ,
gloves nnd clippers. vSonio alterations were
necessary , n few otltches , and she took them.
Next Bho turned her attention to packing the
trunks and In lees than two hours the task
was accomplished and a llttlo hook contain
ing a complete inventory wag put In the
bride's traveling bag. This Inventory gave
not only the list of articles , but told exactly
where they could be found. By this Hmo the
bride had finished her luncheon and was per
suaded to take ; i nap and remain In bed until
called by Miss Burwell , who , with her as
sistant , left the houfco to appear again
promptly at 3:30 o'clock.
Then a tepid bath was prepared ; tbo brldo
awakened and whllo she was taking It they
straightened up the room and laid out the
bridal costume. The dressing of the brldo
was accomplished without the slightest
hurry and in utnplo time , nut best of all
was tbo fresh ro y face which shown
through tbo bridal veil , It was bo differ
ent from the baggerc < J , nervous girl wo had
all expected. She was not a bit tired or
worried and feeling that she was looking her
very beet , woman-like , she was supremely
contented , Mlts Burwell accompanied her
to tbo church door , guarded against boiling
her gown in the carriage , and gave the
final touch to her tell nnd train as she en
tered ,
After the ceremony uho returned to the
house , superintended Iho exchange of the
bridal for the gotng-away gown , gave the
final arrangements to the last trunk and
the traveling bag , set the room to rights
and left as quickly as the proverbial mouse ,
Tbq next day I saw her again and asked
her to tell me about her work ,

"I began four > ears ago , " the replied ,
"by drfusing a friend of mine , and I thought
her mother , who was a tery delicate vsornau ,
would never get through ( banking me She
said I wat just the right person in the right
place on such an occasion , nnd as I had left
school nnd was on the lookout for something
to do to earn a living , I decided lo try dressIng -
Ing brides as n profession , I came to New
York ns our nearest big city and affording
the largest field. Of course I hail a few let
ters of Introduction and a , small amount of
money , less than $50 , In my pocket.
"My first customer was obtained through
the minister to whom 1 had como with a
letter of Introduction. The brldo was qulto
young nnd without n mother , so she dc-
ponde < ) on me entirely. Her trousseau , qulto
nn elaborate one , had been prepared , but she
was ns nervous as n girl could very well bo
and keep her reason about her wedding day.
I treated her Just about as I did your friend ,
only ho Insisted on my coming to her for
two days Instead of one , nnd everybody com-
pfimcntcd mo on the results. Soon after I
had another engagement with a girl out ot
town whose trousseau I helped to purchase.
My work gave satisfaction , nnd since theu
I have had my hands full.
"Many of my customers wish me to assist
them with their trousseau , that Is lu Us se
lection nnd by seeing that the dressmakers
and tailors glvo them perfect fits ; others
wish mo to do just what I did for your
friend , while there are eorao who require mo
only to drcns them and arrange their veils ,
Of course a well trained , competent maid
could glvo her mistress much assistance on
such an occasion , but my customers as a ,
rule nro not tbo very wealthy girls who can
afford to keep such on attendant.
" \Vhlle they pay mo well for my services
they do not feel that they can afford to keep
expensive servants. Of course I am com-
pcli'cd to keep up with the latest styles , and
for that purpose I spent two months In Paris
lait summer. August nnd September are the
poorest months in the year for weddings ,
while October , February nnd Juno nre about
the most popular. Often during these months
I ha\o ns ninny as two brides n day to dress ,
and several times 1 could have had ns many
as four , but way obliged to refuse man ) * en
gagements for want ot time.
I ( Would 1'ny OtliorVonion. .
"Do I think It a work where other women
can succeed ? I sco no reason why they should
not. Hero in Now York there Is ccitalnly
room for others , because , : is I have Just
eald , I have very often been compelled to
refuse engagements. According to my obser
vations there is a demand for just such a
pel ton in all of our larger cities and a com
fortable living to be earned. But the woman
who undertakes It must be willing to per
form her work not only as welt ns anyone
else , but she must do It Just a llttlo bit bet
ter. Many people can pack trunks veiy
nicely , but I claim that no one can do It us
-well as I , nor can they drape a % ell or place
the bridal wreath as becomingly. I study
and work out all the llttlo details of every
particular bride , and my time Is entirety oc
cupied , but I am well treated , well paid , llvo
veil and am saving money. So , naturally. I
think my profession a good one. "

The lather shatblly dressed , but Ppnt-
lessly neat little lady who boarded the
train at a small western station had no
sooner seated herself and disposed of her
numerous pieces than she began to cast
about for eomc * one to talk to. The kindly
face of the middle-aged woman across the
alslo seemed to offer some encouragement ,
relates Youth's Companion.
"My folks say I can't ride a mlle with
out striking up an acquaintance with some
one , ' the old lady said , with a fmlle , "and
I guess It's so , too ; but It always seems to
make the time go faster to have somu one
to talk to and I like to bo sociable. If you
don't mind , I'll como over an' set with
you. "
"That's right , I shall ho glad to have
you , " was the kindly response.
"I'm going clear out a bundled miles be
yond Denver , " volunteered the old lady
when she had changed her seat and taken
some knitting from her pocket.
"Excuse mo If I knit while we visit , " she
said. "I might as well be Improving my
time. I'm knitting some stockings for a
little granddaughter ot mine to kind of help
her mother out. Her husband's out of
woik and they've fl\o children to piovldo
for nnd winter's coming on , so I've set out
to Unit two pair of stockings apleco for thu
children. I I llto to help out all I can.
"I'm going out to my youngest daughter's
now. She telegraphed for me yesterday.
Her oldest bay has ecnilet fever and It may
run right through the family. She Isn't
able to hire anybody , to she sent for me and
I am going to help her out. I recjon we
shnll have a pretty hard time of It , but
I sba'n't mind If we pull them through/all
safe and sound. '
"Do you live In the town In which you
boarded the train ? "
"Dear me , no ! I live In Ohio when I'm at
homo. It's my fcecond son liven there where
I got on. Ho met with tin accident eight
weeks ago broke his leg In two places , be
sides being hurt In other ways , nnd they
sent for me to help them and tnko care ot
the children , for hi ? wlfo had to look after
him. We've both had our hands full you
may bo pure.
"Before I went thcro I'd been In Illinois
mcst all winter staying with my third
daughter's husband and children , while she ,
poor girl , went to Mexico for her lungs. The
doctor ordered Tier to stay there all winter ,
and so she sent for mo to lake her place
nt homo. Several of the children had the
moiDles , tm we never let her know a thing
about It. I was thankful I could do for
them. I don't know what they'd done If
It hadn't been BO I could go an' help them
out. "
"Havo you n homo of your own ? "
"Oh , yes ; I've a real cozy ilttio home ,
and when tbo last of my eight children was
marrlod and settled down I thought I should
have n , quiet time nil to mjself , but "
there was a pathetic little quaver In the old
lady's voice and a suspicion of tears in her
eyes "somehow It seems to me as If I was
needed all the time to help tbo children
on ) . In s&mo way or another , I guess I ain't
averaged two months in twelve In my own
bouso for five years. "
There was n llttlo pause and when the old
lady went on the smllo had como hack to
the patient face and the volco regained Its I
steadiness. "I'm real thankful I've got the
health an' strength to bo useful , " she said.
"I only hope 'Liza's children won't have
