could He strobe on down toward the
Point, scarcely knowing where he was
going, until with a sudden sense of a
new pain he found that he was stand
ing by the rocks where he had sat only
two days before with Nellie.
Then the hot sun blazed down and
the heat pulsated from the sand and
sea below. and the rocks above, and
then, too, there was not the knowl-
edge that he had lost every dollar he
had in the world
The long line of silver light laid
across the water suddenly wavered
and grew blurred and dim. His eyes
filled and a sob was wrung from his
aching heart. He remembered the
dimpled fingers that had clasped the
parasol, the odor of the flowers at her
breast, and the clinging against his
cheek of few strands of golden hair
tossed there by the wanton wind. He
stood there, a black outline against
the moonlit water beyond.
Back at the Casino another little
drama had been enacted Nellie had
seen more than her trained features

she acted promptly she would have
looked her last upon Jim. Suddenly
Jim was more to her than all the

WOMEN OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Their Redeeming Feature is Their
Personal Cleanliness.


Personal Cleanliness.
The aristocratic Philippine matron
and her daughters indulge in no
greater bodily exercise, If they can help
1t, than that required for driving or
shopping. But the peasant woman
shares her husbands work, whatever
Il may be, laboring at the pillow behind
an ungainly carabao (water-b uffalo) in
the paddy-feld. or helping to pole a
huge lorcha, or cocoanut raft, up or
down the river, besides attending to
her domestic cares. And take pleas
ure In saying that, whatever its pro-
prietor's rank or station, the native
Phlllppine nipa hut Is invariably a
marvel of neatness and cleanliness as
to its interior; far superior in this re-
spect to the average dwelling house,
be 1t that of a merchants clerk or that
OF the encouragement. So far as the
latter are concerned, a decent servant
girl, such as are employed in America
and England, would not be content to
remain In one two days Hundreds of
girls are employed in the great cigar
factories, and others in the converts
labor to weave the far-famed pima lace
or the Philippines, several at time
squatting on the floor around a single
frame, picking and manipulating with
deit myers the infinitesimally delicate
nbers. Sometimes they work for
months to complete a single mantilla
or handkerchief. These native women
are rarely employed by the European
residents as domestic servants, except
In the capacity of lady's maid or cnn-
oren's nurse, and even these position
are often occupied by boys. They are
very unreliable, and the utter absence
or the sense of gratitude, so character
istic of the entire Philippine race, rem
ders it an almost hopeless AID very ex-
asperating task to attempt to train
them as servants. Their only redeem
ing feature is their sense Of absolute
personal cleanliness, but in spite Of
this many European women prefer to
go TO the expense and trouble of inn
porting a Chinese anna from Hong
Kong or Canton rather than to intrust
her children to the care of a native
girl; although when in her own ca
paeity as mother, the Filipino. so far
as observation goes, leaves nothing to
be Woman's Home Compan-

Another means by which a woman's
success and happiness are secured at

Katharine Roich in the Ladies' Home
journal She must be the one to ar

not so that happy homes are made.
Just as a man directs the work OF his

the woman who has home to guide
must be ready to assume and control
the affairs of her household. Obserya-

Commenting on the debate in the

| NEWPORT IDYL.

The ballroom at the Casino was
aglow with light and pulsing with mu-
sic. The ball was at its height a mo-
ment before supper
standing near door was a young
man whose features were drawn and
white, and whose set lips made a pic
ture sadly out OF place in that gay
throng. His dark eyes followed a
slim. graceful girl. with a crown OF
golden hair and tender, violet eyes,
whose dark, long lashes lent them a
pathetic look just then.
They seemed to be seeking for some
one, but whoever they sought was not
found until the dancers had twice made
the tour OF the room. Then the two
pairs of eyes met for a second. Those
or the girl had a wistful, questioning
look; those of the man an expression
or stern REIMBURSEMENT.
The music ceased just then, and In
the little ensuing flutter they lost sight
OF each other in the crowd.
The man, with a sigh SO deep as to
be almost a groan, turned away, and.
scarcely knowing how he reached
there, found himself seated in an easy
chair on the wide porch. He gave
himself up 10 bitter reflections.
Il must be crazy to come here to-
night. / might in time have learned

lie! She didn't look any too happy,
either. Well, Jim, if you are not
coward you will start now and go
so far away that she will never hear
OF you again"
Just at this stage of "Jim's" reflec
tons several persons came along, and
IN their gay conversation Jim had no
part. He half rose to go, when he
heard his own name mentioned In
spite OF the old proverb about listen
ers, he remained in his chair, which
was in deep shadow.
Poor Jim Alden! Did you see I'm?
