at the prospect ol going back next month.

Bhe belongs to the rapidly (trow-
inir "colony of American women who are
helping to do Uncle 8am- work out there.
"While there are more American' 'women
In Manila than there used to be," says
Miss Dwyer, "the men still outnumber u
ten to ono. Most of the unattached
women are In the federal aervlce and our
mode of living la probably borrow.-d from
tho army, which established certain local
custom during the military regime.
"Wo do not live In boarding houses, but
In meases. Three or four or more club
together, take a. house., hire servinta and

mass being la charge. Tho men Is gen

"All the servant are mnn. and boys.
Tho Filipinos do not send their girl out
to service. In fact girls do not do much
work of any kind outside their own homes.
Occasional! tby work In some small
factory, ad before I came away I saw
one of two salesgirls In the largs ahopj.
But it is not customary. : :
"Wo pay our cooks and the Filipinos
are good cooks about Ile-a month. The
alMtants, or home boys, receive from $5
to 110 a month, but the 15 boy Is llkeiy
to be Incompetent. -' t
"I was In ono men of three all womsn
and we had only a cook and one houso
boy. But when there are men In a me-
tho number' of servants runs up to live

muchacho.
"Out there,"" everybody wear hot only
hhe clothing.: but alio white shcea, tut
men hire a boy as muchacho to keop their
things in order. - I had no special boy for
my own service, but gave our house boy
a few pesos a month the peso is worth
10 cents In our money to whiten my
shoe ulanco them, aa we say. Qf c.ours.
the -servants are -always on 4he lookout to
pick up a few extra, pesos, but even tm;n
they are much cheaper than our servants
In this country.
Food and Meal Hoar. -"As
for food, w live well ' out there.
Breakfast is between 7 and l for those in
tho olvll survlce, I mean. It ' I almost
always fruit, egaV-. and . fcottea. Coffee
seams to be a pecessity; ; .'
"Eggs and FMckena" ara plentiful. In
Manila we ."have? ceHatn I"- stock Idea on
which we are forever hrxtr) one of them
being the theory Hhat.tbs chicken are not

'taste.' " ! r ".
"But now that ! am' hero I must admit
that I cant see any difference. Our Fili
pino chicken are just a good a those
that have scratched American soli, except
perhaps that they are not so well fed. the
people being to poor to feed them.
tW 1 o'clock we have luncheon, or as we
gly there tiffin. That Is a hearty meal of
meat, vegetables, salad and dessert. Din
ner 1 at night; the average American ha
It at T or 7:30 o'clock. But the fashionable
Filipinos of Manila have It at o'clock and
remain at the table until 11. "
"There I a good deal of entertaining
among the Americans, most: of It taking
the form of .eating, for. the simple reason
that there Isn't much else to do. There Is
driving and autotnoblllng oh, yes, we
have autos! We even have public one for
hire at 15 an hour.
"A Seeing Manila wagon? ' N-no, not
yet. But that' a good Idea. I shouldn't
wonder it the liveryman who keeps the
public auto would think It a good plan to
tart a Seeing Manila aervlce after a while.
Oaly Five Weeka Behind.
"Of course stranger can't como so very
often, for the only way to get there 1 by
steamer, and, aa we know to cir sorrow,
mall steamers arrive only on an average
of onre In two weeks. That Is the worst
feature of the life there.
"We are always Ave week behind our
world at home. There I the cable, but
It I expensive that between private In
dividuals it is rarely used except well,
except to tel) of sickness or death. A
private cable measage generally means a
tragedy. -
"But the mall steamer 1 a never falling
topic of conversation. ' Before It arrives
everybody Is guessing when It will come,
When It doe get In there s a grand rush
for the poatofflc. And from that time on
for several days there Is but one question
between friends; 'What did you hearr
"The Americans are fortunate In living
where they can see the harbor, and they

"Outside there was originally a circle of
little native villages, each with Its own

become merged with one another and now
are a part of Manila Itsolf. The old city

not have been considered K Is on the side
of the city toward the William McKlnley
Post, and In case of need could be more
easily reached by the troop than If they
had to march clear through the city.
. "That post, by the way. Is something In
Manila we are very proud of. It Is the
largest brigade post Americans have any
where. It Is a community In Itself, with
streets, barracks, quarters, stores and Its
own postolTlce. ......
"It Is only Ave miles from Manila and
la reached by trolley In thirty minutes.
The parade ground was made by hand, you
might say. It was all upa and downs,
ridges and hollows. But It haa been put
into fine condition. , Tree have been
planted along the streets and the officers'
wlvec who live there have ptcassnt quar
ters. ' ' v
"A a rule the American -women In Ma
nila do not see very much of the native
society of the city. There are a few of the
leading Filipino families who mingle freely
with the Americana, but most of them form
a circle of their own. They are practically
without exception mestizos; that Is, oi
mixed blood.
"There Is almost no such thing, certainly
not In Manila, as an absolutely pure
blooded Filipino. There has been througl.
many generations Intermarrying with for
elgnars, especially with the Spaniards, until
the mestizo la present In an infinite variety
of degrees of mlxedneas.
, Aaaerlcaa-FIIIplne Matrimony.
"Any marriages with Americans? Yes
quite a number. Men In the civil service
some teachers, two officers who, I think
left the army after their marriage hav.
Filipino wives.
"Americans as a rule do not regard thes
marriage with favor. But the men them
selves say they love the g!H they marr
and that these girls make them good wlvee
'Vhft rtnri't van) fshlnnaole ones.
,"It Is true that many of the Filipino girls
ae very attractive, but it Is doubtfu
whether such marriages are wise In t'i.
'end. If the man return to 'America hi
wife will find herself strange to what S
closely kin to her husband. There Is plent
of room,' Vou see, for disappointment oi
both, sides.
"But the women of the rich mestlz
class In Manila form a charming and cult1
vated society. The peoole live luxurious
and entertain extravagantly. They epea!
several languages, are devoted to music
going constantly to the Italian opera dur
Ing the season and having a great man
mualcales of their own.
"It Is the ambition of every boy, and h
fact every girl, of this class tb go to Paris
an:, vie In oonstantly read ng tn the pap -that
'Jul-r Bo and Bo has Just returned
from Paris, where she has been pursuln

that sort.
"The average American woman .does nr,:

"Filipino women of other classes, how
ever, are very much tn evidence. ' It Is thty
who conduct the retail business; they an '
the Chinamen. The women of the Phtllr
pines have a position which Is enjoyed bj
the women of no other oriental race.

give them a position and an Independenc
unique among .the. oriental women. .In. th'
school ' which the "American have ' estab
Jlahed girls are taught Just as the boys are
Among the native, teachers whom I saw
the best were, women teachers.
"The Filipinos all over the islands are
eager for education. I visited some school'
tn the provinces. ' held in little buildings
which are visited occasionally by th
priests for the saying of mass, though th
host Is not kept there all the time. The
priests have placed these vislfas, as the
are called, at the service of the govemmen
for use as public schools, which shows a
friendly' attitude'on their part.' ' ' ' ' - -""One
of the thing's'! noticed in 'these
schools indicates a very pleasing trait of
the Filipinos. There were . many younr
boys at school, remember with the baby
of the family in their charge. They wouU
get up to read with little Mr. Baby astrldi
their hip, In the same position that thi
babies are carried by the mothers.
. "This kindness and affection Is one o'
the moats trlklng features of family 11 f
there. Filipino fathers are devoted to thel
children. They will take the baby ant'
walk miles to church, whether the mothe
happens to go along or not,
, "The father even takes the baby with
him to his cock fight. Outside of a houat
you see o group of men standing and at
likely aa not one of them la holding e
baby. Even young men carry their baby
brothers and sisters around with them
without any of the apologetic embarrass
ment an American would show.
"Of course the cynics will sny that the
men are so lazy that they would rathe
take easy going charge of the baby thar
to do tha harder work with which th.'
women are busy. But I don't thiak they
are as lazy as they are said to be.
Werk and Waves.
"I'nder th Spaniards they did not re
ceive more than 25 cents a day for ordl
nary labor, not a great Incentive to Indus
try. Very often they received a good dea'
leas. Sometime they did not gut any
thing ut all, but were drulUd Into wort
without pay.
"Since we have been In the Islands tram
way have been constructed,, sewer put
in and other public, works carried on In a
way to show that the Filipino really can
work. Of course we pay them an un
precedented rate.
"All through the east American have
paid wages which .have made the other
foreigners groan. But we want the work
done and done quickly. We hav the
money, moreover, and we are willing to
pay for the 'light away' which seems es
sential to us. -"As
a matter of fact we are paying for
I unskilled labor at tha rata whiih formerly
prevailed for Skilled labor, BO cents a day
In lot of little way, too, we have upset
old standards of compensation.
"For Instance, If a driver aak me a
peseta more than the regular rate I pay
It. It only ft centa, anyway, and my time
and nerves are worth more than that. But
j an Englishman will stand out on the lde
j walk for half an hour and haggis about
! thst S cents. 'It's a matr f principle
-with him. - He Isn't 'going to be Imposed
1 on. ''.'.'.'
"On tha other hand, though the Ameri
can iav more, they expert rro o work than
tha Filipinos have ever been doing. In
fact. I think w ask a Utile too much of
then.

Coupled with a Year's Subscription to the
Cosmopolitan IVIaLgaLZiirae
How the Little Price T,,e Century, as you know, has always been sold through book canvassers, to whom big commls
le MaMa PnceiMa slons have to be paid, and the work" will be again sold In that way. But Just now It Is dif-
ferent, for the price has been brought down te--
the benefit. It all comes about through the business enterprise
of the well-known Cosmopolitan Magazine, which Is engaged
In an unusual and highly successful effort to add 60,000 desirable
ow subscribers to Its list making a round half million in all. Ti
do this quickly it Is offering the Century set as a supreme Induce
ment an Inducement which makes the strongest sort of an appeal
to everyone that appreciates and prizes what Is best In books. The
Cosmopolitan isn't looking for present profit in the matter, but hav
tn thus added a large and Intelligent body of readers. It is the pur
pose of the Magazine to make a substantial advance in its advertis
ing rates an advance not based on .quantity of circulation alone, but
on quality the kind of circulation which all advertisers are looking
for and will pay high lates to secure.
IIY ARRANGEMENT WITH THE COSMOPOLITAN THE PISTR1
flinox HERE WAS INTRUSTED TO OUR ROOK STORE
where orders are pouring in, not from the City alone, but
from all over the adjacent states. And it Is not at all
a matter of wonder, for The Coinopolltan has cut the price
down to the lowest, notch first, by having The Century Co. prepare
the largest edition ever printed, thus bringing down the cost of in
dividual sets, while carefully maintaining the former high standard
of mechanical excellence; and second, by cutting out absolutely a!T
the big commissions paid to book agents thus making a total saving
of over one-half on the Publishers' lowest price. The little price also
includes The Cosmopolitan for a full year. So than no one earnestly
desiring to take &&v,&tage of the offer need be excluded, the fol
lowing convenient terms have been arranged: -

"A COURT OF LAST RESORT"
The reason why The Century Is so supremely useful in the Government Department Is, first, because it Is the most exhaustive dictionary Jn existence, containing more than 600,000
encyclopedic dictionary-definitions; second, because it is the most complete modern atlas of the world; and, third, because it is the most perfect working encyclopedia ever published. It not
only treats words in an encyclopedic way, but all Its vast wealth of encyclopedic Information about things, persons and places is so carefully classified and arranged as to be Instantly at the
service of everyone in each Department, from the youngest clerk to the chief himself. And so in the home or office. The Century Is a necessity whatever other encyclopedias you may have
and it increases the value ot every book in your library.
