The happiness Of the male Moro Is bound
ed by brilliant-colored turban, skin-tight
trousers of snowy pattern, tight jacket.
and either a barong or a kris thrust
through the wound strip OF cloth which
constitutes his belt. In this he also carries
the little box containing the hetel-nut and
lime which he mixes and chews constantly,
making his teeth as black as ebony, but
nevertheless preserving them from decay
for you seldom see a Moro who has had a
tooth extracted. His favorite attitude Is
that of a graceful, jaunty swagger. with
his hand resting on the weapon. which will
fly from its scabbard into the body of an
enemy with the sw1ftness of a flash OF

OF his picturesque and artistic weapons for

travagance. has become a paying trade. 1t
Is dtflcult now TO get an old kris with en-
bossed blade and q fantastic handle, which

Then the haggIing begins. When you have
grown tired of the fun you lay before him

invariably he succumbs to the sight of the
