 Makes a Hit.

When General Emilio Aguinaldo was leading the Filipino army against the American forces twenty years ago he probably little dreamed that some day a daughter of his would visit the city of Washington and would be given a grear reception at the famous Con- gressional Club And that the wives of 120 members of the American Con- gress and two wives of members of the Presidents cabinet would call upon her to pay their respects!
 But all this actually happened when Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, his nineteen year-old daughter, visited Washington recently And those wives of the Am erican statesmen expressed themselves as both charmed and surprised at the refined, tactful, college educated young miss who greeted them.
 Miss Aguinaldo was simply delight ful," was the expression of one con gressman's wife "She was very mod est, yet she acted so natural and thor

oughly at home that she captivated ev- erybody."
 On another occasion while in Wash ington Miss Aguinaldo was given real ovation by Filipino-American audi ence when she recited My Last Fare we'll" poem of pr. Jose Rizal, the Fill ipino martyr
 Miss Aguinaldo is a student at the University of Illinois, Urbana, H. While in Washington she was the guest of Mrs. Jaime c. deVeyra, wife of one of the resident commissioners from the Philippines. The Capitol building and the Congressional library appealed particularly to the young Filipina, while the beautiful sights from the Washington monument thrill ed her with delight When asked how she liked America, she smiled and an- swered:
 Ut is a wonderful country. I didn't like winter at first, but since I have learned how to skate 1 am having fine times All the Americans whom l have met have been very good to me. My friends in Urbana and my classmates in the university are just lovely, but l cannot help feeling homesick at times because I am missing my father. My coming here was indeed a great sacri- flee for him, for we are very close. He is so good to me-"
 Miss Aguinaldo is intensely patriotic. She does not conceal her resentment when she hears or reads of misrepre- sentation of the Filipinos. 'It is un- fortunate" she once exclaimed in a voice full of sadness, that my country and my people are hardly known, much less understood, by the people of Am erica"
 Politics is tabooed in any conversa- ton with this Filipino maid. She evades the topic by replying that she Is too young to express opinions on things political "All can say," she declares, "is that share with my father in the desire for independence for my native land. There Is no ques- tion about our being able to govern ourselves"
 Filipinos declare Miss Aguinaldo has a genuine Filipina temperament''- that is, she does not believe in the oc- cidental custom of dates" between young men and women. She does not see anything wrong in 1t, she says, but it is such violent departure from the custom in the Philippines that she can- not adopt it.
 "You might laugh at me-" she said, but I cannot go out with one single escort unchaperoned. simply can't will go back to my country with the soul of Filipina."
 A newspaper in one of the large Am erican cities that Miss Aguinaldo visit. ed expressed the opinion that she would no doubt be greatly impressed by the sight of street cars and some of the fine residences she would see, but the truth is the young lady was raised in Manila, where she has seen an up to-date street car system all her life.
