Scarce one dish for the poor Is had;
Good housekeeping 10 laid aside,

CHRISTMAS IN THE PHILIPPINES
From the Wide World Magazine,

"a IN u MdBdxiucs
In the far away Philippines Christ
mas time is a season Of great religious
festivals. or f~iestas, OF which the
evening procession Is the most noted
feature. In this parade the priests
and their acolytes appear In their
dresses Of state, carrying great black
crosses n various images Of the
saints in rich robes literally covered
with glittering gems-one alone bear
ing diamonds worth more than S1,000,-
600. But what gives real beauty and
brilliance to these pageants are the
myriads Of lighted candles proudly car
ried by thousands OF natives, men,
women inc children.
Vying with these fiestas Is the ma
tional game Of cock-fighting. In the
early morning the Filipino goes to
mass; the rest Of the day Is spent at
the cockpits, where his weeks or
months earnings are dissipated; and
at night consumed with religious
fervor, he is seer In the procession
indeed is the Filipino who does not
own a game chicken! And most mis-
cradle Is that Filipino who on Christ
mas day Is unable to visit the cock
pit with his rooster under his arm or
perched on his head.
Inc CnrlStnlaS dinner ID q great IN
stitution In the Philippines. the princi-
pal attraction being a specially bar
becued pig. This. with rice and fish
seasoned with the tamarind bean, and
a dessert Of bananas or lazones,
makes up the repast. A plentiful sup
ply Of betel-nuts il also provided,
and thrice lucky Is the family that on
Christmas day may boast a heaping
dish Of luscious grasshoppers.
The American occupation ma ap-
parently caused little change in Christ
mas observance, excepting the intro
duction Of baseball as q holiday game.
and excepting further the unusual
number Of F~ilipinos. male and female,
who attempt to assume American or
European clothes. Some of the Co.'S
tunes worn by the Filipino "swells'
would most certainly put to rapid rout
| the most artistic dudes" OF America
and Europe.
To the man with fond memories Of a
cold. bracing climate. Christmas never
| comes in the PHILIPPINES. Life II. in
stead. one continuous summer festival,
with Christmas always q year distant,
over the broad waters. waiting by the
signing frs. the beautiful valleys and
snow-clad mountains. with a great
suffering, cracking log on the wide,
old fashioned fireplace as IN inviting
background.
