The lower class, whose lives are so
simple, whose wants are marvelously
few, whose occupations are varied and
singularly suited to them, interested
me strongly. They are apparently as
happy living in the end of casco and
keep house with the same ease as
those who live on land and occupy a
picturesque nipa hut of small proper
tons, whose roof seems elastic, it
sometimes covers so many heads.
These women take in washing, ped
die dainty fabrics made of their fruit
fbers, make bamboo mating, sew or
embroider. Some with large fiat bas-
kets Of fruits and the invariable betel
nut, done up neatly in spicy leaf
held together by a lime paste that evil

from place to place as occasion re-
quires and squat patiently in the shade
awaiting customers.
The stalls in markets are also kept
principally by women, some of whom
live right there with their families.
Then the cigar factories furnish occu-
patton to many Of all ages. l was as
tonisned to see little girls of not more
than nine or ten years with the deft-
ness of experts roll cigarettes and
cigars and shred tobacco; while not a
few pretty little babies, each clothed
only in short pima shirt, crept around
as the mothers worked.
Hundreds are employed in these
large factories. They obtain their
food for a few pennies from a neigh
Dor conveniently located, whose bust
ness it is to furnish them with pro-
visions. l have often watched with a
great deal of interest the keen relish
with which they gather around the
central figure who serves the chosen
dish from quaint pottery with cocoa
nut ladle, amid indescribable chatter
and undoubted enjoyment. When
everyone is satisfied they repair to
their homes for the necessary siesta.
The hostess clears up her dishes and
follows their example and the corner
becomes quiet and empty until even

and palatable and which I always re-
turned with a typical American deli
cacy that pleased them very much.
These women are thrifty, kindly,
hospitable, appreciative, music-loving,
social, peaceable and clearly. This
last from their own point of view, /
grant you, and confess to having seen
them deliberately take their sandals
off at a muddy crossing, wade over in
the sandals, and continued on their
way. This and many similar instances
reminded one that in principle they

To keep from soiling her feet"
Notwithstanding all this, / shall al

their point of view. And on this sub

guments, | feel well backed up by the
example of a good old Scotch woman,
who was ever fairly open to convic-
ton, but would like to see the man
who could convince her."
Now we come to the middle class,
who are respectable in every sense.
Their houses are spotless, their clothes
always neat, their glossy black hair
well washed and tidy. These have
time to visit and possess at least a
shower bath in the house, so they are
not obliged to resort to a stream or
convenient spigot on the street for the
comfort of bath. They can permit
themselves the luxury of carametta
and perhaps a caraboo whose milk is
peddled in picturesque jars by some
male member of the family. They will
take in a little sewing and fine en-
broidery They are very expert with
the needle and fond of jewelry, and
not a few possess some quite pretty
pieces of pearls or diamonds quaint
ly cut.

beautiful in the evening light. There

after spending Christmas away from homo.
returned last night to find that the house
had been ransacked. She notified the
police, who could not solve the problem.
Closets had BEEN opened, drawers
emptied, and every corner searched by the
intruder. If the person wanted jewelry.
or money he could have found
lots of 1t. He did not seek this, however.
and threw the things crooks usually look
for out of the way.
A back window was forced open by
someone who had previously smashed the
glass and then opened the catch. In
leaving the place the rear kitchen door
was left open.
The case puzzles the family and the
police. A woman was to have come to
clean up the house yesterday. but whether
or not she showed up has not been learned
as the Marshall family were away at the
time.
The South Orange police are of the
opinion that the intruder was some one
who keeps in close touch with the people
of that neighborhood and knew just when
MIR. and Mrs. Marshall were out of town,
for a similar thing occurred at the Bailey
esidence, across the street, when that
family was AWAY about three months ago.

The show was highly appreciated by

taken to the Rev. Golf to be sent to
