Women in the LadrOnes.

At the present day the women of the
Ladrones are a charming. light heart
ed lot, beautiful in their youth, with
their golden brown compile xions, soft
brown eyes and silky black hair. The
matrons of the island, smiling, good
natured and plump, have lost most Of
their beauty by middle age, but their
general kindness OF expression makes
up for any loss in mere physical at
fractions of line and color.
Simple cheerful and hospttable, the
home of the average islander is like
those of most natives of the tropics,
little more than thin wall and palm
matched roof TO keep out the rain In
the Ladrones ii rains every day.
Clothes spread out on grass plots to
dry therefore seldom escape second
dampening about midday, fact that
does not in the least disturb the laun-
dresses. as the rays of the sun are so
warm that they are soon dried on
and are indeed whittier than ever
Most of the inhabitants wear few
clothes and so the weekly wash
ings are not Of such alarming proper
lions as one might imagine in SO warm
Il climate
The natives of the islands are Cha
morros, a people resembling the Philip
pine islanders in many respects. The
CaucaSfanS VINO nave visited the La
drones have married and intarmarried
with the natives until the proportion
OF Chamorros is now very small.
The houses of the Spaniac.is are
little more elaborate than those of the
Chamorros. A typical middle-class
dwelling Is built with a thick stone
wall on the ground floor. through
which is cut the large entrance door.
The rooms are untoored. the rarth be
ing rrampled hard. The first noor is
about seven feet from the ground.
Rude steps of hewn logs lead TO ii.
I he living room is on the first floor aud
is as a rule covered with rough hewn
logs OF mahogany. The eud of the
house has gallery built outside be
meath the overhanging roof. and ii is
there in the shade OF the banana and
pineapple or palm trees that the wo-
men of the household sit to do their
sewing and TO gossip.
