An Evening Gown,

~ EAR MISS LEE: I am young married woman,
living in a small town. wish to make an
49, evening dress like nclosed sample. 1 am
barely feet in my French heels weight about 80
pounds; bust, 33; waist, 20; small hips; have dull
brown hair; grayblue eyes, black brows and lashes;
SAMPLE @ e will I be- becomngs @ @ Have Twelve yards Of it.
Would you combine it with blues think pale blue is
my best color. I wish to have It made that can
it afternoons next summer. I also have enough
velvet like sample for small hat toque. Would
you advise me to wear such hat with long black
coat and how shall trim its What colors can wear
best9 Subscriber.
The pretty pale yellow will become you, and
princess model would suit your petite figure better
than any other style. Make 1t up white straw
color. A good plan would be to make plain tight
fitting princess slip and mount the grenadine over It,
body parts. It should be shirred good deal about
the waist line from plain front panel made to smu-
late wide double box pleat from bust to hem by
means Of two side pleats either edge
The hem be trimmed from the front panel with
two narrow overlapping frills Of the goods. Fearing
to cut off your height by round yoke suggest the
material being taken to the shoulders then slashed
downwards to bust and cut away under the chin IN
square chemisette fashion The sashed edges should
be drawn apart and be laced together with pale blue
velvet. The gumpe yoke will be Of butter color
lace trimmed with ladder Of little blue velvet bows.
You have now unbroken line from shoulder to hem.
Have large puff sleeves, showing strip Of the lace
arranged vertically down the sleeve, threading back
wards and forwards with the velvet If like It 50,
if not just trim the cuffs with blue. The yoke will
be lined with chiffon only for evening wear; later on
it may be backed with pale blue. 49,.
The dark red velvet will make a lovely toque. You
could drape and brim with 1t and trim with
soft gray Bird draping the same way and adding
little fur to the brim, and trimming with large
flat white other large white flower the left
side. Either will be both smart and becoming
You can wear all the blues; also gray, brown pale
pink, dark green, rich wine reds old rose, fawn TAM
lemon and banana shades, white cream and black.

TAGALoG WOMAN.

brown man, black Filipinos, yellow
ones, white ones ana even a few reds;
though, to be sure, the browns pre-
dominate greatly. Long, long, long
ago-thousands of years ago-man
dwelt here, and to-day supposed rem
nants of the aboriginal people are to
be found in the interior districts and
on the outskirts of the islands. But
let US quote directly from our author
ity: The blacks comprise native
tribes, with descendants of African
negroes and Papuans introduced by
Spaniards. The native blacks are of
Negrito type; they are dwarfish in
stature, and dwell in remote parts of
the archipelago. They are usually re-
garded as the aborigines, and as rem
nants of pigmy race. There are only
10000 of them. The brown race, either
pure or mixed, constitutes nine-tenths
of the population. A traction are re-
lated to the Polynesians The first
immigrants were uncultured savages.
These were followed by incursions in
historic times of Malay people having
alphabets and a primitive culture.
About B. c. 200 came the ancestors of
many head-hunting tribes The i'm
migration OF the Taga Visaya, Wool,
Ilocano and other industrial tribes is
assigned to A. ID. 100000. Third and
last came the lslamite or Moro inVa-
sion, occurring in the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries, and brought to an
end by Spanish conquest in the six
teenth century. The yellow or Mon
goloid type exists in the Philippines
partly as pure-blooded Chinese, Japan
eses, Siamese and Cambodlans, but
principally in mixtures OF various
sorts. The Chinese held sway in Luz
zon for centuries, and after their rule
was thrown Oh trade continued be-
tween them and the natives. II is i'm
probable that these immigrations and
blendings were numerous prior TO the
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1906-03-15

Ever since the Philippines were
discovered to the American public,
that public has been called upon to
consider various matters relating TO
tie far-away land and far-away peo-
PIE. Just at present our political and
trade relations with the Islanders
form q topic concerning which there
is considerable comment
What picture does the word Filipino
call up? We think of brown man,
unclothed. lazy, or we may think as
typical the fierce fellows on show
at the St Louis exposition. In any
case, what we know of the Filipino is
almost nothing. Suppose we try to
ind out a little.
One of the first authorities consulted
tells us there are, in addition to the
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1906-03-15

changed bnt elsewhere the term
'pure-blOod" has little meaning.
The mestizos, the half-breeds, form
the Filipino aristocracy In India
half-castes are looked upon with con-
tempt by either race, they are outcast,
despised; but in the Philippines we
find an exactly different state of at
fairs Mai Woodruff, in most inter-
esting article in the New York Times,
says:
There is a final element among the
Filipinos which must be considered
apart for it is type or collection of
-types having nothing in common with
the Malays These are the half-breeds
or descendants of European
or Chinese fathers and Malay women.
They are not so very numerous-per-
haps one-tenth of one per cent. of the
whole, perhaps somewhat more than
this"
Maj. Woodruff tells u.s. the mestizo
is the social leader the land owner.
constitutes the wealthy class, is polit-
ical leader.
We learn it is a grave mistake to
look upon the Filipinos as we look
upon American Indians. as being close
ly related There are found the FIVE
distinct peoples, migrating at differ
ent periods. Among the 20 tribes
there is found a variety of languages
and dialects. The Negritos are pyg-
mics. and bear close resemblance to
the small creatures OF the Malay
peninsula and the Andaman islands;
the close resemblance between them
and the Negritos of the Philippines
leaves little doubt that all this part OF
the world was, for a very long time,
in their undisputed possession.
"Frail Of physique and of very low
intelligence, they were no match for
the bigger and more intelligent men
who next came upon the scene. These
were the e-Malays-savage who no
doubt overran the whole archipelago
and. indeed. most of the chains of is
lands extending back to Sumatra The
Igorrotes, who were of so much inter
est at the ST. Louis worlds fair, belong
to this great race.
"The Negrito is little. black and has
kinky hair, while the pre- Malay is

dark brown, Of fair size, and ha.
straight hair. This second type o.
man evidently spread over all these
islands, just as the NegTito had done
before him, but he, too had to move
on eventually. In his turn he was
driven out by men of higher types
and retTeated to the mountains.
The main wave of migration was
the true Malaga race of considerably
higher intelligence than its predeces-
sors, so that it probably experienced
but little difficulty in gaining posses
sion of all the best parts of the is
lands. 1t was no doubt possessed of
quite a high civilization, with agricul-
ture and manufactures, so that it set
tied down into more or less well or
dered communities, with kings and
minor chiefs. in marked contrast to
the savages 1t displaced.
I'm time il broke into distinct tribes,
and of these seven big tribes are the
ones we hear the most about, and they
are the ones which are bound to give
the most concern to the government.
They constitute the bulk of what is
generally considered the Filipino race.
The Spaniards converted them to
Christianity, but there is little doubt
that they would otherwise soon have
become Mohammedans, for that re-
ligion was already beginning to make
itself known.
THE last wave of Malay invaders is
relative recent history, for it's date
can be fixed at about the fourteenth
century These people are the Moros
OF the Sulu archipelago and Mindanao.
They are the true Malays of literature
1.-The pirates of the eastern seas.
Prior to the twelfth century they were
an insignificant V'ibe of Sumatra. but
their conversion to Mohammedanism
seemed TO start them en- their historic
career They became colonists, trad
ers, pirates and religious enthusiasts
mo doubt in time they would have
overrun all the northern islands OF the
Philippine group were it not for the
opportune arrival of the Spaniard.
They are OF about the same physical
type as the seven great tribes to the
north OF them, but in vigor, aggres-
siveness and perhaps Intelligence also,
they are so much superior that their
eventual supremacy cannot be doubtful"
