The equipment of a model pl vground Is
| somewhat as follows: In the mid lie is an
open circular area. to be flooded in the
skating season and used as a playground
during the rest of the year. This IS sur
rounded by a bicycle track, fenced for
| safety. Outside of this are various means
| of enjoyment. such as tennis courts,
| swings, parallel bars. swinging rings. SANG
piles. music stands, etc. All Is sur-
rounded by, a promenade path, where
| mothers may wheel baby carriages. and
where row of seats invite the visitor to
rest under overhanging shade trees. Each
of two sides of the playground have a
| pavilion, one for the boys. the other for
the girls. These were Intended to take
the place of the playground in winter and
during stormy weather, but certain
! changes will be necessary before they will
fully answer the purpose. But what redl-
" counts is the use made of the play
ground, and the supervising care is to be

MANILA BEAUTIES.


They Have Fascinating Eyes and Long,
Luxuriant Blue Black Hair.
The women Of Manila are irresistibly
fascinating. They are the possessors OF
larguishing eyes, shaded with long lashes
and luxuriant blue black hair. This last
is the chief glory of the Philippine beauty.
1t is long, rich, thick, made glossy both
by the care bestowed or 1t and It's frequent
anointings with coooanut oil. Often, too,
it is cleaned and washed with lemon juice
and oil, which has been made fragrant by
infusions Of odoriferous flowers. Some of
the ONE wear it hanging down their
backs, entirely ~unadorned. A special
vanity is their finely shaped feet, that
never know a stocking, but which are
thrust into slippers, Without heels, taste
fully and deliberately embroidered with
gold or silver thread. The walk Of the
women is graceful, but rather ooquettish,
and when the clog is donned on wet days
they move with o very peculiar swing,
which is quite distinct from the Japanese
totter.

dren and old women as well as young

girls and matrons-smoke long cigars,
chew the betol nut, dance, swim and ride,
but the great ambition Of every woman is
TO possess a dress, a scarf or at least a
handkerchief Of the famous pima cloth.
There is no more beautiful fabric manu-
featured in any part of the world than
this, which is made from the fiberfof the
pineapple leaf and is quite expensive. a
common skirt costs from 81 to $40, a
whole dress costs at least $40, and no less
q sum thar SIS has been paid for a single
garment. A good average scarf or hand
kerchief brings from S25 to $50. When
embroidered, a scarf of pima sometimes
costs as much as $3.50.

Humane

According to a writer in Harper's Week
ly, the Consumers league of New York
rates as fair dry goods houses those in
which equal work gets equal pay, ire
spective of the sex Of the worker; in which
adults get at least So a week, paid weekly;
in which fines go INTO a fund for employ
ees' benefit, and in which cash girls get at
least So a week. The hours of a fair house
are from 8 to 6, with th~ree-quarters Of an
hour for lunch and one-half holiday a
week for two months in summer. Fair
houses also comply with sanitary laws,
provide seats for saleswomen-as required
by law-use employees humanely, show
consideration for fidelity and length of
service, and employ no children under IA
years old.

The Lively Dessert.

A Travelled American once had the felic-
ity Of sitting down to a Japanese dinner
at which were served such dainties as mel
ons, ices, fruits and sea frogs. There was,
in addition to these sweets, a covered dish,
into which at the beginning of the dinner
a bottle of wine had been poured. When
the sea frogs and other dainties had been
discussed, the cover of this dish was re-
moved, and a number of sand hoppers, hi
lariously intoxicated and jumping about
in the widest manner, was presented to
the gaze Of the astonished American
guests. The lively dessert was caught by
the japanese, with little bamboo sticks and
eaten with great gusto.

not seem to have been those Of an un-

This is an age of progress and the
church cannot afford to stagnate. The
clergyman of today takes advantage CT
modern improvements. He pays pas
toral calls on bicycle; he lights his
church by electricity and he is expert
menting with the plan of giving his
sermons a wider circulation by trans
hitting them to his parishioners by
telephone. The newspaper is by far
the most effective aid he can employ.

modern progress and energy. The

A women's society for political
study recently tried and acquitted
Aaron Burr. He was forgiven for his
gallantries to women other than his
wife. Had he lived in another age
and time" said one lady, speaking OF
these gallantries, The would have been
treated differently" Evidently the
present time was directly referred TO,
though we are glad to say that the
lady didn't press the point or defend
the alleged fact very energetically. He
was also forgiven for marrying Mad
anne Jumel for her money; and then
the society decided that 1t wasn't prop
er to discuss the private lives OF great
men and hastily dropped the subject.
