ed States" says Mrs. de Veyra. II do
not mean to infer we are perfect, for
we are not. My people have most of
the defects, | suppose, that other hui
mans have, but at the same time we
are far from the people that many
Americans have been made to believe,
Not only are we Christian people,
but our race has history that we are
not ashamed of. Throughout the Phil
ippine Islands the people are now
working earnestly to improve them
selves and their conditions so they will
be prepared to take over their own af
fairs. We all love America for giving
us chance to help ourselves and for
having promised us our independence
which is one of the dearest desires of
the entire citizenship of the Islands,"
To American women whose ideas OF
Fillplnos have been founded on Sun
day supplement descriptions of wild
tribes, Mrs. de Veyra's gentle manner
and evident culture have been reve,
lation. She is sought by womens clubs
because of her charming manner as an
impromptu speaker on the subject
nearest her heart-the women of her
country,
AT a recent Washington gathering
she gave in perfect English a concise
account of the work of womans club
in Manila which supplies milk to the
babies of the poor and trains mothers
to care for their young children. She
told of another woman's club which
has branches all over the Philippine
Islands and which maintains day
nurseries for the children of the work,
ing women, provides Christmas cheer
for the lepers, the insane and the con,
victs, and gathers data TO influence leg
islation for the benefit of Filipino wo.
men and children.
The four little De veyras, shown in
the picture, having attended the pub
lie schools in Manila, slipped right into
the same grades in the schools of
Washington. Even little Mary, the
baby of the family, speaks three Ian.
guages-her native tongue, Spanish
and English.

Edison Recital at The RialtO.

Probably a number of people who at
tended the recital given Wednesday
night by Hardy Williamson and the
Fleming Sisters Trio at The Rialto
were at first puzzled and disappointed
when they discovered phonograph
cabinet occupying the center of the
stage.
They hardly were treasured when the
conductor appeared on the stage and
commenced to talk about "Re-cre
TONS" 1t finally became apparent
that the photograph was at least to re-
ceive assistance from the singer, but
even then the mental outlook was not
especially bright He explained that
the purpose of the recital was to illus
trate that Thomas A. Edison, after
years of work, had achieved his ideal
of perfecting a musical instrument
which would actually re-create music
so that the recreation would be indis-
tinguishable from the original.
This was a broad claim but it was es-
tabished before the evening was over,
for the artists actually stood beside the
New Edison Photograph and perform
ed in unison with Mr.. Edison's re-crea-
tion-so called of their performance.
This would have proved little. as the
artists might easily have overbalanced
the tone of the Observation-Disclosures
it up-so to speak; but they did more,
or, to be accurate, less. They paused
from time to time, apparently at ran
dom, and permitted their -e-created
performances to be heard alone. This
gave an opportunity to compare one
with the other, and it is no more than
just to state that there was no discern
able difference in tone quality.
There must have been slight differ
ence in volume when the artists stop
ped singing or playing but in was not
noticeable, for the tone which came
from the cabinet was round and lus-
cious with all Of the vibrant, pulsating
quality of that which came directly
from Mr.. Williamson's throat and the
instruments of Fleming Sisters Trio.
1t was only by watching the singers
lips or the violinist's or cellist's bow
(or the piano keys that one could be
sure when they sang or played and
when they did not.
This proof was convincing. If it
were not, another proof was offered.
After Mr.. Williamson had commenced
to sing one of his numbers, the lights
were turned out, ostensibly so that the
audience could not watch the singers
lips. 1t did not seem difficult to deter
mine in the dark when the singer sang
and when he did not The writer was
pretty sure about it himself until the
lights were turned on again and it was
discovered that Mr.. Williamson was
| not on the stage at all and that the
New Edison alone had been heard.
