or THIS regal entertaining, is there not
something delightfully."- soothing in the
thought that If one has a house in the
suburbs, one can also entertain, as do
the smart set, by having week END
house party with comparatively little
trouble or expense?
With tears and kisses let NE go,
Love not too deep =
To kiss snd weep.
That love have many, many;
But one .cte, Oh,
It dotn not 30!
Pale lips il has. and fearless eyes;
Broken, mctionless it Ties,
A flower amid deaths mysteries,
A rose that dies.
With tears and kisses let me go;
Such love have many. many
Thot other lovs my heart would know,
Or know not any.

tured the statement that the notorious
ly happy married life of Mrs. Mary
Livermore and her husband. which ex
tended over period of fifty years, was
an exception TO the lives of most
''emaneipated" ones, he was promptly
confronted with facts which convicted
him of q. reckless disregard of truth. 1t
was pointed out that Lucy Stone lived
an ideal life with her husband for
thirty-hve years, and that Lucretia
Mott and her husband, James, had a
long married life, the latter taking the
greatest pleasure in the homage paid
to his -wife's eloquence. Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton lived with her husband
for forty years. Likewise did Mrs. Ju-
LA Ward Howe live with Dr. Howe,
although the lady was so much eman-
cipated as to serve as President of the
New England Woman Suffrage Asso-

New York Herald, present so strange
an appearance as the gentler sex of a
comparatively unknown race in the in
terror of one of the Philippine Islands.
The history of dress contains no fash
ion plate that is the equal in oddly of
that which characterizes the Tiruray
women of Southern Mindanao.
Not only are their ornaments and de-
tails of adornment most peculiar, but

down by such quantity of virgin gold
that they might aptly be termed walk
ing mines Of the precious metal.
The characteristics of these strange
people are peculiar to no other known
race.
Various parts Of the country inhabit-
ed by the Tiruray have never felt the
presence of a white foot nor been scan
ned by the eye of any man save the
members of this mountain tribe. The
home of the Tiruray is in as beautiful
a country as can be found in the magi-
cal islands of the Southern seas.
In appearance the Tiruray bear but
slight resemblance to the people of the
other Mindanao tribes.
They are small in stature in compart-
son with Americans, but larger thar
the Filipinos of Luzon-
Although the men are universally
| dark-skinned from constant exposure
| to wind and sun, the children of the
Tiruray and many of their women are
far from black.
In facial characteristic the Tiruray
are more fortunate than most races tc
be found in the Philippines. Theii
noses are much less fiat than those Of
| the other island peoples. and their eyes
are placed nearer together, giving then.
| the appearance of possessing much
higher order of intelligence than thei1
neighbors.
Among the Tiruray the hair is worn
| long by the men as we'll as by the wo-
men, and in both sexes it is as coarse
and black as that of the American In
dian.
The men clothe themselves in what
ever they can procure, which is in most
cases little enough. Indeed, no mar
loses caste in the land of the Tiruray
| if necessity conpels him to discard
| clothing altogether.
The Tiruray women, many of whom
are very handsome, make up in curios-
ity of dress and barbaric beauty OF
adcrnment for all of that in which the
men fall short.
A Tiruray woman in her daily gart
is an oddly; when clothed in her gala
| dress she becomes an absolute curio
and at all times the richness of her out
| fit is enough to dazzle the eye.
Her garments consist of a tight-fit-
ting bodice and a couple of skirts wrap
ped closely about her hips and reach
| ing to the knee or a little below it. The
cloth from which they are made con.
tains none but the brightest colors, and
in such clothing alone the Tiruray wo-
man looks like a brilliantly plumagec
bird of the forest, But the garments
are the least beautiful portion of hel
| trousseau.
From her wrists to her elbows hel
bare brown arms, we'll rounded ano
strong, are covered with half a hun
bred rings or bracelets. and similar
! ornamentation covers her lower limbs
| from her ankles to her knees.
The poorest girls in the tribe are
thus bedecked and the rings on hei
limbs are made of brass. The rich
class among the Tiruray women, how.
ever, wear the same manner of rings
with the exception that they are made
of pure, soft, virgin gold.
Even this array of trinkets does not
complete the outfit of the well-dresseo
Tiruray woman. About her neck hangs
a necklace composed of alternate pieces
of bright colored glass and bits of yell
low gold. A girdle of from six tc
eight inches in width encircles hel
waist This, too. is made from the pre-
cious metal.
Large holes in each of her ears are
| filled with a gold button, and from one
