Story Of Two Pigmy Filipinos Who
Are to Be Seen at the Worlds Fair
Juan Is 20 Inches Tall and Mar
tina Is One Inch Shorter.

At the worlds fair pigmy. Filipinos
will be the most interesting anthropo-
logical types among all the strange
island tribes in the great Philippine
display. They are perhaps the small
est little people In the world to-day.
Juan and Martina de Ia Cruz, a
brother and sister, were the second
and third children in a family of eight.
Their elder brother, living in Manila,
Is SO years DID, five feet seven inches
high and weighs 1873 pounds.
Martina, the next eldest il 81 years
old, twenty-eight inches high. Juan,
the next In age, is 20 years old and
twenty-nine inches high. Their par
ents and the five youngest children, all
Of whom are dead, were Filipinos Of
average height.
The sister and brother de la Cruz
are, respectively, nine and seven inches
smaller than the renowned General
Tom Thumb. Juan says that God
made his sister small then, realizing
how lonesome she would be, decided
that he should be just exactly an inch
taller.
Juan has been married and Is the
father Of boy 8 years old. He is as
large as any child Of that age in the
islands. His wife, who. was a Filipino
Of normal size, died three years ago.
Juan and Martina were born in
Capiz Island Of Panay, one Of the
southern group Of the archipelago.

New Yor, March 4.-Black gowns
never go out of fashion and altho
there are seasons when, as at the pres
ent moment, light colors are more
popular, the woman who is provided
always we'll dressed. -, -
This spring, altho light colors are to
be fashionable, both for street and
house wear, there are a number of the
most attractive models already exhib-
tied in black gowns, while there are
more Of which only advance informa-
ton has been furnished. Young girls
are including in their spring and sum-,
mer outfits smart black serge or che
viot frocks with just a touch of color
in collar, cuffs and waistcoat to relieve
the too sombre effect. A black braid
of different widths Is enlivened by
gold thread woven thru it, or a round
or flat gold braid very marrow at either
side of the plain black. One especial
ly attractive style has the collar and
cuffs of plain light color on which is
a pattern in black soutache and gold
braid. .,,,., ~..,--..,.,
Black cloth gowns for spring and
summer wear are not so smart as
those Of the cheviot or serge, but there
are one or two styles of princess de-
sign which are exceedingly smart.
These are made with bolero Jacket to
be worn in the street. One rather
conspicuous but smart style has a
guimpe and full sleeves of white lace.
| Black crepe de chine, yelling and
| taffeta gowns are not new so far as
| regards the materials, but are novel In
construction. There is more white
used in them than was fashionable last
year, lace and chiffon both being put
| in sleeves and the front of the waist,
while one favorite design has white
lace let into the skirt in straight lines
at either side Of the breadth.
The black Chantilly lace gowns
made up over the white are charming
ly dainty, and there is a great deal Of
white lace used with the black. The
sleeves, dropping from the shoulder
and wide, at the elbow, have inside
sleeves made entirely Of wide ruffles
Of lace, while if the waist be cut high
in the neck a stock collar and narrow
yoke of white lace is, as a rule, far
more becoming than the all black
around the neck. Of spangled trim
1nings, the spangles of steel are most
effective on these black lace gowns
but the rule is that there shall not be
too much trimming, and what there is
Of the most expensive quality. Bands
= Of fine Chantilly lace, the pattern out.
lined with the steel or jet paillettes
are smarter than the spangled passe.
