Woman's. Rights in- Philippinea.
Women in' the Philippines, fcom Fili-
pino to Lfupino and from Kailnga to
Moro, have a lot to about [be. way
things are run.
.My first realization of the different
■status of Philippine womanhood came
on the Pacific steamer on which I last
returned.to the United States. A young
Filipino wanted to wrestle with some
of the Japanese on board. But his wife
was with him and she feared she would
lose a husband in the. melee. She ve-
toed his desire with considerable easfl
and perfect effectiveness. If she had
been a Chinese, Japanese or Indian ol
the same class her husband would have
wrestled as long as he wanted to, or
could, and the woman in the case
would have kept her month shut. In
the Philippines I have observed that
the woman holds the purse and the
gavel.—Christian Herald.
