and half long and is somewhat more
than an inch In diameter When not
in use it IS thrust into a hole in one OF
the upright bamboo posts of the dwell
ing. The hole is not SO far above the
floor that the youngest walking men,
bers of the family cannot reach 1t.
when any member Of the house
hold. the old man or his four-year-old
daughter, feels like taking smoke
the family cigar is dragged from its
hole In the post and fired up. When
the cigar gets too short for comfortable
smoking another takes its place.
ut is queer sight to see a Filipino
infant putting away at a big black
cigar about a third as long as the child
IS and SO large around that it distorts
the little yellow face into which it is
inserted
THE family cigar is not taken away
from the residence. 1t remains al
ways at hand as vehicle of hospitablc
expression. When visitor calls. the
family cigar, if it is not in use, is
withdrawn from its hole in the post
and offered to the guest with gra-
cious gesture
"If the cigar happens to be in use,
perhaps by little girl squatted back
in q corner, the person doing the hon.
ors snatches it from the mouth Of
the smoker and proffers it to the guest
without delay.
ITO decline this offer Of hospitality
is not considered good form in Filipino
society. In fact, it amounts to sc9rn
of friendly intention. Knowing the
career of the average family cigar, 1t
is not easy to accept and smoke 1t with
an appearance of enjoyment when 1t
is taken from It's hole in the post, but
it is considerably harder to receive 1t
from the mouth of some member of
the not overneat looking family, and
Europeans and Americans frequently
balk at this stage Of the call.
There IS a queer thing about the
etiquette of smoking in the Philip
pines" the traveller added, for which
| have never been able to find any ex-
PLANTATION. 1t Is this: If a Filipino
asks you for a light from your cigar,
you must not flick off the ashes, as we
do almost invariably in this country,
before handing it to him.
ITO do so is regarded as an affront
that no degree of gracious manner in
extending the weed to him can atone

which gave us something different,

Mrs. Roosevelt Never Misses an Opportu-

AAIJ " SShSANoSAOASs
The wife of President Roosevelt is
strongly inclined toward the simpler
modes of living, says The Delineator for
November.
When she is not on official duty, Mrs.
Roosevelt insists upon living her life
as any other American woman. She
frequently walks down town to the
shops, unattended even by maid; she
makes her personal calls and sees to
little matters Of her own home circle
with the same regularity and devotion
as in the years before the duties of the
white house entered into her calcutta
tons. One point she never neglects, and
that is to be at home when the Presi-
dent is at leisure. When he has a group
Of his men friends at luncheon, Mrs.
Roosevelt joins the children in their
apartments, for her dominant thought is
always for them. She is their companion
at all times.

MUSINGS OF THE GENTLE cYN1c

For laziness the best cure is sine
cure.
Diogenes must have been the original

Wealth may not bring happiness, but
it helps some.
A mans table manners depend a good
deal on the grub.
Love knows no law. unless we except
the mOther-in-laW.
A girls first love affair is apt to de-
velop into an epidemic.
Was Lots wife the first woman who
wasn't worth her salt?
The smaller the bride the greater
seems to be the disgrace.
Life is a game of chance in which the
cards are often stacked.
Labor is enrolling, but lots of men
are opposed to the nobility.
Silence may be golden but you can't
always convert it into cash.
Perhaps justice is blindfolded because
she so often gets a black eye.
Many a man who has made his mark
has a wife who makes him toe it.
The fellow who turns tail must expect
to be talked about behind his back.
A man has to have certain amount of
wisdom to realize what a fool he is.
The elevator boy may not be quick at
repartee, but he will always take you up.
When a girl is having her picture tax
en- it isn't natural for her to look natu-
raj.
Every successful man thinks his own
brand of success is the only one worth
while.
Any man can make fool of himself
but if he has a woman's help it is much
easier.
1t isn't until girl gives up all hope
of getting a man that she becomes in

If all the unrequited love resulted in
broken hearts the world would about &C

that a husband in the hand is worth
