about the larger cities to the head hunters found in the interior of Min danao or the pirates of Sulus or the 'Negritos scattered throughout the en- tire group. @ These Negritos were. so far as is known, the original inhabitants of the Philippine group, though there are not over 10000 or 25. .0oO ofthem at the pres ent time and the race is fast dying out. In stature they do not exceed four feet eight inches, have thin spindle legs with a head like negro,s, fattened nose, thick, frizzled black hair and pos sess an extraordinary power in their toes. A study of them is interesting because. of their relation to the Dar- winian theory of the evolution of the human race. They have many savage and some animal traits.
 When the islands were discovered by Magellan in 152l, the Negritos had been driven into the interior and inaccess- ible portion of the islands by the Malay tribes. who now form the principal part of the population of the islands. The varied degrees of civilization of these tribes is almost as great as the number of islands in the entire group. The

fields to better advantage than the Tagals. Aside from agriculture they are successful workers in metals and excel as miners. From 1860 until 1929 Spain waged war against this tribe in an effort to subdue them, and was final ly successful.
 Aside from their agricultural pur- suits the lgorrctes find the manufac- tTre of all sorts of crude weapons prof itable. These weapons usually take the form of peculiarly shaped knives and daggers. and as used by the natives of all the islands are extrtmely effective. They are practically their only arma- ment, and would not, of course, prove dangerous against the long range and rapid-fring rifles of any modern army, but they answer the purpose of the natives in supplying them with game from the forests and in settling their tribal strifes.
 Aside from the Tagals the Visayas are the most numerous of the Malay tribes. They are found in all of the islands south of Luzon. The Visayas with which Spain came into contact along the coasts were quite tracta ble. yielding easily to civilization and as sisting in the subjugation of the Tagals and other tribes. But in the interior of the larger southern islands there still exist many thousands of the tribe who have never felt the effects of civiliza- tion and who are to-day among the most savage of the native population.
 In the interior of Mindanao there is said to exist small tribe of head hunters of whom but very little is known, as the interior of that island has never been thoroughly explored. In fact, all of the larger islands offer a fertile field for exploration, and many of the smaller islands have never yield ed to Spanish rule at all. and but very little is known of them.
 In the Sulu group there exists tribe of Malay pirates as daring and blood thirsty as the buccaneers of old over which the Spanish government has never attempted to exercise sovereign ty. They will form an interesting con- tribution to our country's population,

Goons Worn by Hostess and aug Chicago cay Reception

$1, ,500 a year as she was to the ones of 50 times that amount.
 And the gowns were as varied as the incomes. They ranged from elegant re- ception costumes to street gowns, and represented in cost from several hun dred down to $25 or $30. The hostess on this occasion wore a gown of thread lace over violet The body of the gown was of gros grain, the skirt front being of thread lace hanging from the waist with an arabasque design of chiffon in violet and white. A train of the violet gros grain The bodice was made of the same material as the skirt with trimmings of the thread lace. The shoulder puffs were of violet gros grain covered with chiffon and with little chiffon ruff1es in the arabesque design, and lace and violets on the left shoul- der.
 The daughter, who assisted the moth CT in receiving, wore a princess gown of the brightest hues. The bodice was trimmed with bands of rose velvet rib bon and made with square neck with frills of chiffon with pearl trimmings, carrying the chiffon at one side to the waist line, where it fastened with vel vet ribbon and buckle.
 Refreshments were served in the mu7 sic room. One young lady in gown of pink taffeta, chiffon and lace poured chocolate from prettily decorated .ta- ble. The table decorations were flowers which harmonized nicely with the young ladg's gown and were banked in the center and in one corner. Her gown svas made with clinging skirt of the pink taffeta, which had three small chif- fon rufles encircling it half way up, The bodice of taffeta was cut low and had tiny tucks all over it. The neck was finished with double friH of the chiffon. A girdle of Nile green velvet encircled the waiSt, fastened at the side with a bow of chiffon. and velvet rib bon. The taffeta sleeves were made tight, t,widened at the wrist with double frill of the chiffon.
 A younger daughter of the hostess was formally Introduced to society at this reception. She was gowned very prettily in white muslin, set with tuGks and insertion of delicate thread lace half an inch wide The clinging skirt had six little ruffles about the bottom and full baby waist with shirred sleeves. having insertion and lace at the wristband. It was tied about the waist with a gas1ight green shade, the whole costume producing 8 lovely eff feet

and one that will be hardest to either civilize or exterminate.
 In addition to the Malay tribes and the Negritos there are thousands oi Chinese, Japanese, Sepoy Indians and other oriental peoples which have con. gregated about the larger cities and taken a prominent place in their ad' ministration and commerce.
 The Philippine islands offer great possibilities if the resources are prop erly developed, and the attempts so far made by nation whose chief interest in her colonies was the obtaining of rev enues show that the native population are susceptible to fair degree of civ ilization. In fact, one of the Spanish friars who recently reached San Fran cisco from the islands, and who, as a rule, do not hold high opinion of the people of the islands, pronounees many of the tribes civilized at the present time.

A Young philosopher.

Now, Gladys" said a mother, "if you wake up early Sunday be good girl and lie stiii. Perhaps you'll go to sleep again" But early Sunday morning the child was out of bed as usual and came pattering into her responsibility, you're a naughty girl. Now so right back to bed again. Here, I'll tuck you in.D So the mother arose and escorted the wakeful child back to her bed. Gladys crawied under the covers, and her mother maae her as comfortable as possible. Now" sad the child, give me something to read. pIease. Her mother turned to the book. Give me 'Aesos's Fables said Gladys. She took the book. with happy smile and held 1t tightly in her arms.

The little lady, with an income of not over $1,5o0per year, wore street gown of blue cloth, made with a tight skirt around the hips, with fourreau in creasing slightly about half way down and widening to the bottom. The skirt was finished at the bottom with five rows of stitching. She wore a tight, hitting round waist with a white satin tucked front, and finished ut the waist line with roll of velvet to match the color of the dress. The sleeves were medium tight, with small caps of vel vet. At the neck the dress was finished with collar of velvet, fastened at the back with double frill of chiffon. While the costume was stylish, it was certainly inexpensive.
 Such is society in Chicago this win ter. The day may come when this un- conventional way will change, and wealth govern admission to the circles of the select, as it does in New York, but it is to be hoped that it will not. As it is to-day Chicago is the most dem ocratic of all the large cities of the country, and so long as society and charity are so closely allied it will prob ably continue to be.
 With all of her unconventional ways Chicago has some fads. Since the cat show here cats have become the fad The same society which goes to the charity reception went to the cat show. and the same society is now infatuated with the cat fad. In every well-ap- pointed home there must now be a cat, of one with a pedigree must be content with one without, but it must have a cat of some kind. For awhile the girl with cat carried her pet in a little bag when she went travelling in carriage or

Steel in Harness Making.

A new use has been found for steel in the manufacture of harness. An English firm makes steel trace, con- sisting of a narrow ribbon of the metal from three-fourths of an inch to one inch wide, rolled very thin and cased in leather. A trace of this kind has at tained tensile breaking strain of 4,575 pounds, while an ordinary leather trace of the best quality, tested at the same time. broke at strain of 2,700 pounds, Besides being lighter and stronger than the ordinary trace, the steel rib bon is about 20 per cent. cheaper. The steel is of the finest quality and can be twisted in any direction. The same kind of steel has been introduced in England in the manufacture of prae- tically punctureless tire.

Hol1 HICAGO doesn't go in for slum- V ming. In fact Chicago doesn't - follow Gotham's fads and fam cies in much of anything. But Chicago is devoted to charity. Her annual balls in eharity's name are attended and patronized by the best people of the city. But the ladies who manage char ity's finances wish to do the work when gowped in their best.
 Every society event of any impor- tance has the name of charity attached to it. There are not only charity balls, but charity receptions, charity teas, and the ladies of Hyde Park play char ity euehre twice each month.
 There is another thing noticeable in Chicago which is transgression from the conventional ways of Gotham. Other things besides money will admit one to the circles of the elite. The artist, whose paintings have brought him more fame than wealth, the writer whose name has outgrown his finances, the doctor, the lawyer, in fact, there is no dividing line excepting that of good breeding.
 attended one of these charity recep- tions recently. It was given at the home of one of Chicago's millionaires, and while semi-public the guests were really of the select circles. Of the more than 200 present there were not over 25 whose annual incomes would exceed $50.0o0. There were others there whose presence represented a contribution to charity whose incomes would not reach the 5000 point, and one sweet little lady that I saw has not over $1,- 800 year with which to keep her fam fly. Yet all were ladies and gentlemen in the true sense of the word, and the hostess was as gracious to the lady of

street car, went to the store, the thea- ter or the restaurant, but the bags have about all been discarded now, and when pussy travels about the shops is under the arm of her mistress; and in the car, the theater or the restaurant she lies in her lap or perches herself upon her shoulder.
 On one of the suburban trains the other day saw young lady and a cat. The young lady's gown betokened wealth, but the cat did not, for it was a very ordinary little white and yellow kitten. Before 1 reached my destina- ton heard the young lady tell ' friend the history of her pet, and it solved the riddle of the difference be- tween the cat and gown.
 The young lady had had friend in the volunteer service during the war | with Spain, captain and -regimental 1 quartermaster, and the cat had been with him and his regiment throughout l the war. She had been a regimental mascot, picked up at the camp in Chick amauga and transported from place tc place as a part of the captains bag gage. She had travelled to Cuba and back again, had witnessed the fall of Santiago, had rubbed her glossy sides against the uniforms of generals of both armies. In fact, was veteran and hero. This history was worth far more than a pedigree, and, as her mis- tress declared, "she would not part with her pet and it's history for the longest pedigreed Angora in the coun- try"
 And I did not in the least blame her for thus prizing her pets history above a pedigree, for was it not the military mascot that started the cat fad, and she had the genuine article.

Good results have followed the in- troduction of the .douche' bath in armies, and it is now coming into nse in schools; for example, those of Mann helm, Baden. There is a special bath room. with baths holding five children apiece. Overhead are five pipes, con- municating with a reservoir. and the stopcocks are in charge of the attend- ant who, controls the bath. Once week the pupils are given shower bath in this way at small expense, and the teachers find that their work. as wei. as health, is improved by them. Vic- tor Hugo, we may add, was great be- lieyer in the shower bath for brain workers. and spoke of the benefit he derived from 1t.

The Tagals are fond of display, and in Manila thousands of them are at tracted to the promenades every day 10 either show their own fine clothing, if they possess any, or to see that worn by the Spaniards who frequent these promenades. But few of them have ever shown a disposition to accumulate wealth or an aptitude for the larger fields of commerce or finance. They are easily led, but will quickly resent any infringement of their rights. It is because of this latter trait that Spain has never been able to extend her juris- diction over the interior of any of the larger islands.
 outwardly this tribe has accepted the Roman Catholic belief, but many of. their old Mohammedan beliefs and sps perstitions are but thinly covered over, and but little encouragement would be needed to1ead them back to the old re- ligious life of their forefathers. as.
 It is from the Tagals that the Phil ippine insurgent army has been re- eruited. It is practically the only one of the many tribes that have ever sub- mitted to the government of Spain that have now sufficient energy and ability

Tagals, who form the bulk of the popu- lation in the island of Luzon, Mindoro, Polio and others of the more northern islands, have attained the highest point
 of civilization that is found among the native tribes. They inhabit the lows lands of these islands and are com paratlvely good agrieulturists, while n the Babuyanes, to the north of Lu- zon. they raise large numbers ofhorses which are exported to Asia and the nsighboring islands. They are phy- klcaliy well developed, and have 8

 The Igorrotes inhabit the mountain districts of Luzon. Their habits and characteristics are entirely different from the Tagals and other Malay tribes of the islands. and show mixture of Chinese or Japanese blood. While they lead a dirty, savage life they are indus trious agriculturists, and till their
