BALLOT BEFORE
amer. SISTERS
Sonora de veyra Describes
Status of Women in the
Philippines.

The Filipino woman Is destined to
be in the worlds spotlight more than
ever before as a result OF the news just
received by cable from Manila to the
effect that the Philippine senate has
passed the equal suffrage bill giving
women full political rights with men.
This would indicate that the Filipina
may beat her American sisters to the
ballot box.
The Filipina has many admirers who
predict she will make good If she gets
the vote, just as she has made good in
the very important role she has oc-
cupied in the family and business life
of the Philippines ever since the in
PRODUCTION of Christianity in the is
lands three centuries ago.
"America's advent In the Philippines
discovered wonderfully interesting,
responsive little being, the Filipino wo-
man," writes one American concerning
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1920-06-04

the Filipina. "Mothering the only
Christian people in the far east, she
holds place of authority, love and re-
spect in family and social life that is
not accorded to women in countries
neighboring the Islands, or in India.
China or Japan"
Filipina who is doing an impor-
tant work for her people in the Unit
ed States is Mrs. .Iaime c de Veyra,
wife of the resident commissioner from
the Philippines Not only has she fire.
quently addressed the wives of mem
hers Of Congress in Washington as to
conditions in the new Philippines, but
she has visited various cities, speaking
before women's clubs. The sensra
wears. in giving her talks, one of thu
beautiful gowns of her home land,
delicate pineapple fabric, hand-woyen
and embroidered, shaped like
gauzy-winged butterfly.
.'In many ways the path of the wo-
men of the Philippines is easy" says
Sonora de veyra. Laws made by her
have combined the best of American
and Spanish precedents, and she has
come into her own with far less strug-
gle than either her American or her
Spanish sisters. Married women may
hold property in severalty. They are
guardians of their own children There
are vested rights and cannot be taken
away from her.
professional opportunities are as
good for women as for men In the land
from which | come. The Filipina is
by custom the dictator in the home.
She is usually the keeper Of the family
treasure Practically all Of the small
shops in Manila are conducted by wo-
men, Women are already members of
the Philippine Bar Association-s
thing still impossible in Great Britain.
They are also successful as physi-
clans"
Life is really a fifty-ffty proposition
for women in the Philippines, accord
ing to the sonora, who has taken such
a prominent part in womens work
ferred to as ''the little mother of them
