The Filipino women, writes . sol9

fact is that these people are the same
old Malays read about in the school

natives. There are few thousand
lnestizos on the islands, Aguinaldo is
one of them; there are millions of ma
tives.
The Filipino woman is about the
homeliest specimen of her sex that
ever happened. When you stand and
talk to her the nostrils of her pug
nose point right ut you and you feel
us if yon were looking into the muzzle
of q double-barreled shotgun. Her
hair is black and long, but coarse as
bristles. Her teeth are good, but
stained a dirty red with betel, bongn
and tobacco. Her mouth is wide. Her
eyes are big and brown, but seldom
expressive. She seldom has good
voice. Her carriage is erect and. grace
full. She dresses with less taste than
the American Indian squaw. She can't
cook; her husband can. She handles
baby on one arm while she brings
you the food her husband has cooked.
If you are a guest at her nipa hut she
will caress your bare feet with her
coarse black hair while her husband
goes out to notify his friends, the
bolomen, to chop you up on your way
home after your visit. Her husband
will pick your pocket with metropol-
itan skill. When add that grasshop-

hang about the back door of your
cook house on beef days waiting for
what is left, just as the Indians hang
around the back door of an army post
slaughter house out west. They arc
made of the same stuff. There are
more of them because the climate is
kindlier. But for the same reason
they are q less stalwart and sturdy
race, with even fewer virtues.

Ecunl Opportunity for Women.

hSunt opportunity ZOE Omen.
New York Evening Post: Taking
the country as whole, the recogni
ton of women is distinctly greater in
the west than in the east. Equality
of opportunity, in the form of the
same pay for the same work, is rap
idly making it's way in the public
schools. In the cities of St. Paul and
Minneapolis one schedule of pay APP
plies to both sexes. In Colorado no
distinction in compensation is made
on account of sex, competency being
the only test, and the same principle
is established by law in Utah. In
Wyoming. the rule of equal pay for
equal work is by law made applicable
to all employees of the state. In the
universities and colleges, however, the
same progress has not been made.
and women are still often compelled
to accept inferior positions or lower
salaries than their male colleagues,
although the work of the two is iden-
teal in quality and scope.
