LIFE PUBLISHING COMPANY 19 West Thirty-first Street New York City The Rainy Season in the Philippines Tue rain began. Seated at her window she | would hear a roaring tattoo in the grove of |abaca palms to the south. The noise neared, | rose, thundered. Long, lithe cocoanuts bean an inexplicable bending to and fro, their tops circling in trembling descent almost to earth, then swinging back to the spring of the bow-t trunks in a movement exaggerated and vi like that of some stage tempest. Out of the grove, beaten, trampled down, there advanced into the open a black wall of rain, perpendicular from learth to s Abead_of it dust, twigs, rub suddenly ascended to heaven in rotary spirals; | trees were flayed of their leaves, roofs flew up like gigantic bats. Then her own house, strongly | built, shook as with earthquake; the thatch of the roof sprang vertical, like hair that stiffens with fear, and between the interstices she saw the | muddy sky stream by. A débris, of dry rot, }snowed down upon the table, the books, the | chairs; little lizards, unperched, struck the floor | with a squeak like that of a mechanical doll, re- mained as dead for a long minute, then scam- | pered across the room and up the walls aga great black spiders, centipedes, scorpions, fell; sometimes a rat. Then the nipa clicked back to ition as a box is shut; breathless silence, a avy immobility, petrified the world. ‘There came three or four detached, resounding raps upon the roof, and suddenly a furious roaring, beating as of stones coming down, great stones | chuted in thousands, in millions—and the church, the plaza, the mountain, the whole land, dis- appeared in a yellow swirl of waters.—James Hopper, in McClure's. French Husbands HE French husband has a faculty that amounts almost to a genius for bestowing | the delicate attentions which cost little except the + exercise of a modicum of tact and thoughtfulness, but which carry joy y true woman’s heart. | He not only thinks to take home to her often (in the absence of the means to make a larger offer- ing) a ro-cent bunch of violets, pinks or roses (from the flower market or the itinerant flower vender’s barrow on his route, but he presents them gallantly with the compliment and the caress the occasion calls for; and this makes them jconfer a pleasure out of all proportion to their intrinsic worth, He remembers her birthday or féte day with a potted plant, a bit of game, a box of bonbons, cake from the pastry-cook’s or a bottle of good wine. He is marvelously fertile in expedients for making the time pass quickly and agrecably for her. He has a thousand amusing and suc- cessful devices for helping her to renew her youth. He projects unique and joyous Sunday and boli- day excursions. He improvises dainty Tittle banquets. He is a past master, especially in the art of conjuring up amiable mysteries and pre- paring charming little surprises. And in all these trivial enterprises he vindicates the old French theory that true courtesy consists in taking a certain amount of pains to so order ouf | words and our manners that others “be content \ with us and with themselves.” oe The American husband is particularly solid- tous to do the proper thing; the French lusband to do the agreeable thing.—/ndependent. comicbooks.com
