PHILIPPINE WOMEN
JEWELRY.
LOVE

Philippine women are inordinately
fond of jewelry, but at the same time
show excellent taste in the matter Of
design and display. Those of the
wealthy classes often order pieces to be
made and sent out by the best Partisan
firms at enormous expense; but in the
way of it's exhibition no criticism could
be made except, perhaps, at a ball, or
dance, and then the profusion of glitter
is sometimes a trife bewildering, and
conducive to monetary estimates.

every now and then to hold his ears
with his red-mittened hands or to warm
h.; feet by stamping up and down the
frosty pavement.
Fred watched him with interest. Aft
e. awhile the boy looked up, and, see
ing the curly head in the window,
nodded and smiled, upon which Fred
nodded and smiled back, and for the
moment quite forgot to be cross.
When the pavement was nearly clean
he slipped out of the nursery, ran down
the stairs and softly opened the big
front door.
"Good morning!" he said. Aren't you
very cold?''
''Good morning.. responded the boy,
taking off his cap politely and eying
the small, shivering figure in the door

Conner laughed.
"But you see," he said, "this is my

makes 60 cents. And if 1 clean three

"But at that rate you will be at work

the door with bang. "Do you want to

Fred wriggled away from her and
scampered upstairs to avoid further
scolding.
''Oh. dear!" he sighed. II hate this
old nursery, and it will be hours and
hours before afternoon comes. I just
know am not going to be good at all.
1 don't feel any goodness In mel"
And apparently he didn't. A restless
spirit of mischief seemed to have taken
possession of the child, and its twofold
result was to keep the nursery in hot
water all morning and himself at home
all afternoon.

looking out upon the snow with very

up from the stove, where their modest
breakfast was in preparation. "But it's

bah! that's nothing. Shoveling

Conner, who, to tell the truth, was not

"Good-by, then, and good luck to
