The mother who overheard this ac-

FILIPINO HOSPITALITY.
1t Is Considered Ono of Their Greatest
National Virtues.

In summing up the good and bad
qualities of the Filipinos too much
cannot be- said of their hospitality,
says the New York Tribune. 1t may be
called their great national virtue. The
inspiration of this trait may have
come from the Spanish, but IL fell on
fruitful soil, for while the Spanish
resident of the Philippines, as else
where, measures out his hospitality in
much and mean it. This trait is not
confined to the upper classes, or those
who can afford to make some display
in their homes and some effort at en-
tertainment. 1t is found among the
lowest and poorest as well. These peo-
pie will share with the stranger who
comes to their little hut of bamboo and
nipa their last bowl of rice and their
last little fish, and will make room for
him overnight on the floor of their
house, where all the family sleep side
by side. The family may be "insur-
rectos" and the visitor may be an
American, but he is not likely to meet
with any harm while under their roof,
though a member of the same family
might gladly stick bolo into him af-
terward. When travelling is safe in the
Philippines, one is therefore always
sure that he can find shelter for the
night and share OF the best that a
community affords In the houses of
those who are well to do, the best
room will be placed at the disposal OF
the unexpected and unknown guest,
and he will be entertained by the va
rious members Of the family to the
best of their ability. II the daughters
have been to one OF the convent
schools and have learned to play upon
the piano, they will play their most
difficult pieces, and sometimes the
playing is really fine. for the Fill
pinos are among the most natural mu-
steal peoples in the world, and often
perform well, in spite OF mediocre in
struction. A piano is one of the first
things that a well-to-do native family
buys. The singing is not likely to be as
pleasant as the playing on the plano,
for the natives have good voices.
