climate and the necessities of the people. The
most remarkable fact in connection with this
subject is that the Filipinos of wealth take
pride in wearing the same simple dress, though
made of more elegant materials. Nobody seems
to be able to discover where this style of dress
originated 1t seems to be unique and unlike
the native dress of any other country.
The Filipino, 'Mestizo." dress, it is
commonly called, is essentially modest, and in
this respect is a true exponent of the mass of
the people. Taken far we know them they
are a very modest race. OF course, there are
millions of Filipinos of whom we know little or
nothing. We only answer for those who
have come more less under our observation
and who have been for many years more or
less in contact with civilization.
The Filipinos not only modest, but cleanly
according to their lights. and this is fact for
which they get little credit. OF course, they
have no idea of sanitation we understand the
term but they seem to have an instructive lik-
ing for personal cleanliness. This is evidenced
by the number of native bathers and washers in
every canal, fountain or stream and by the gen
eral appearance OF every crowd. Hot water
bathing is thing unknown but their INNER
