It is said that in this partic ular case the debtor was obligated to pay S4O out of a $125 salary, leaving him only a small balance with whiph to support himself and family.

The “barong” is a shirt-like gar ment, with a narrow neck-band and takes the place of bothvshirt and coat Worn outside the belt of the treusere.. it gives Americans the im pression that the wearer had dress ed hastily and neglected to tuck his shirt into liis trousers. ■Representative Villaneu—' reso lution, recommending a boycott o' | foreign apparel, effects wo-.ep M dress as well, and bgns ml evening gowns made of imported materials.
