ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO,

Perhaps at the close of the twentieth
century We of today will seem pictur-
esque, our gowns will be treasures and
our letters curiosities. even as those
or 1883 are to us. In England men
had to pay a tax if they powdered
their hair and buy license in the
bargain; the poor complained thew
could buy no meat because the rich
bought 1t all to feed their dogs and
1t was advised that the dogs be killed.
The women of society one hundred
years ago wore patches and powder
and quilted skirts and the men we're
attlred in knee breeches, ruff1ed shirts.
wore queues, took snuff, fought duels
and turned highwaymen when all else
tailed. This, of course, applies to So
c1ety in England and Europe for
America in those days was too busy
getting on her feet to waste any time
frivolously.
Stage coaches were used for travel
ing and they were very slow. News
papers were heavily taxed and more
over everyone who advertised was tax
ed Ja1ls, lunatic asylums and poor
houses all needed reform and social
conditions left much to be desired.

The distant sea, the waves of which
seemed to bask Or sleep in the sun
shine, closed the perspective of this ra-
vine; and there we could see the Eu-
genie at anchor, with her snow white
courses loose and her other canvas
neatly handled.
Being warmed by our walk, we sat
down within the mouth of species Of
natural grotto, formed by masses of
lava and basalt, which in some past
age the throes of the volcano had
thrown and heaped together. There
clear spring gurgled joyously from
assure in the rocks; and now. opening
the courier bag, we proceeded to make

brought from the ship-to wit, bologna
sausage and biscuits, with brandy and
water.
Inc air was deliciously clear. and
over the brow Of the rocky chasm in
which we sat, there fell a natural
screen of all the wild Indian fig and
vine creepers, and these shaded us from
the increasing heat of the morning
sun.
All was still there.
We heard only the COO of the great
wood pigeons among the gorgeous foli-
age. or the sweet notes of the little
eo!den colored canary birds, as they
lWlttered about us when we scared
them from their nests, which thew
usually build in the barrancas or wat
er-courses, such being the coolest
places In that volcanic isle.

SANTA'S AFTERNOON CALL
Visits tho Children of Trinity Cnthc-
draI and Distributes JOY and
GIadness to the Little Folk.

Santa Claus had rather an unusual expert
encc Saturday afternoon. He was the prin-
cipal figure in what might be termed a
matinee engagement, and though the sun
shone brightly without the Sunday school
room of Trinity cathedral was darkeued
for the occasion. On the platform a Christ
mas tree sparkled and t%winkling lights from
many candles provided a dim radiance.
Dean Fair spoke to an excited little army
of Sunday school children, but his words
probably never fell on more unproductive
soil, for the little ones were in breathless
anticipation, awaiting the arrival of Santa
Claus. They seemed to have stretched thor
Imagination far enough to believe that it
was Christmas night instead of the after
noon two days before the time when the
patron saint of the nursery is scheduled to
arrive.
A clock struck twelve; the children were
admonished to be quiet, and soon sleigh
bells were heard. From an immense chin
ney erected for the occasion Santa Claus is
sued. He was a jolly. round, patriarchal
looking chap and the children went into &C.
stacics over him. He gave them candies and
nuts and toys and said that he would pay
them Ills nineteenth visit next year if they
were good children and faithful in their at
tendance upon Sunday school.

the loss of the bridge. He decided to cap

his twenty men at intervals az 100 feet apart
he advanced to the attack The men crawlcd

doing such good work that In q little while
not a Filipino dared stick his head up above
the top Of the trench. When they reached
the bridge, while the others lay in con-
cealment along the bank and kept the
trenches under a hot fire. Thornton and
three others dashed across the burning struc-
ture and began firing in both directions along
the TANKS of the trenches. Immediately a
panic ensued. Instead Of attacking and over
whelming the four daring men the entire
Filipino force fled into the tall grass in the
rear of their trenches, the scouts on the
road deliberately shooting at them till the
last one disappeared from view. Then they
carried water In their hats and subduel the
flames. The next morning Lawton's army
repaired the bridge, crossed over and at
tackled and captured the insurgent capital.
Word was received that day that Pillar
wanted to send a peace commission to
Manila to see General Otis, and several e.
fcers were sent out between the lines to
meet them and escort them in. We went
about three .miles, when we met Pillar and
Colonel Alejandrino, who is now command
ing the small body Of troops fleeing with
Aguinaldo. l had also met Alejaudrino in
Manila before the war and found him very
much of a gentleman, far superior to Pillar
in every respect. He could talk English
fairly well and was politeness and urbanity
presented. With Pillar l talked in Spanish,
as well as my recent introduction t. that
language enabled me. He first suggested

Filipino IJca of War.
80 far from being chagrined or taking Of
Tense at this, he seemed to consider it a
compliment. The Filipino idea of war is
that Of sly and secret attacks frCm perfectly
safe positions, and then a hasty retreat be-
fore a return blow can be given
Hence Pillar thought | was complimenting
him when l referred to his success in keep
ing out of harms way. He swelled up like
IA turkey Geek, and then it was he began
boasting of the death Of Colonel Stotsenberg.
He told how he saw the Americans coming
and got his troops into the V-shaped
trenches, which were perfectly concealed in
tho woods. When the little force Of Ameri-
cans had entered the opening OF the V the
FilipinOs opened fire en- them, but even then,
though greatly superior in numbers. did no.
possess nerve enough TO charge the Ameri-
cans. All they dared do was to lie in Sc
curity behind their trenches and fire in the
wild and nervous way characteristic of them.
Only lack of nerve on their part prevented
the determination Of the small force that
was present when the fight began. before
the hastily-sent re-enforcements arrived
AS it was, the party was rescued with a
total of about forty killed and wounded,
among the dead being the gallant Stotsen-
berg, who had made a record as the fighting
colonel of the Eighth army corps, though
this record was in the minds Of his brother
officers and soldiers rather than in the news
papers. 1t made my blood boil to hear that
conCeited little ape boast Of having slain Il
real soldier like S~totsenberg, and | had hard
work to restrain myself from choking him
as he sat beeide me on the single seat of the
caroniato we were using.
81 was glad when | finally was able 10
turn him and his companions over to Cen

met with no success with General Otis. II
seems they were Representatives Of General
Luna, the fiery secretary OF war and com
mander Of the army, who was a few weeks
later assassinated by one of Aguinaldos
soldiers at San Isidro, We having abandoned
the city and the F%ilipinos having again made
It their capital. Luna's proposition to Otis
was Simply for a suspension of hcstiliti $
for thirty days, which practically meant
until the rainy season set in, and o Is
peremptOrily declined it. and sent Pillar and
bis companions back through the lines at
San Fernando, and that was tho last seen
of the man who boosted of killing Stotsen-
berg until his dead body was found among

Evening Ties.
Every properly adjusted evening tie Of
white lawn, goes twice around the collar
before it is drawn into a bow that still leans
toward the butterfly effect. While the ends
OF the tie are cut square, the corners Of the
dress shirt collars round off gracefully in
accord with those of the cuffs. Slight
though these details seem. they form the
delicate line of demarkatlon between the
fachionably and unfashionably dressed man.
Anc:her straw that shows the way
the mode for men blows is in the lining of
evening coats and the length Of the full dress

proper material fer a dress coa,'o lining.
whether a Tuxedo or not. This season a
soft, rather duh, finished silk is the choicest
material for the purpose and the dancing ana
opera coat has tails Of Il length that recall
the fashions Of 1920.
The colorod shirt mania shows no sign Of
abatement. though men whose wardrobes arc
very carefully selected assume a tremendous
penchant for black and white. Their prefer
ence is for a white linen garment showing a
wide and narrow line of black. aud in the
