IP provinces' wlilcli produce this val-B&bto commodity In considerable quan-tity are the most prosperouH province!In the islands. Unfortunately, however,the cultivation of flbaca cannot be in-definitely extended. The plant needsfor its satisfactory development a richand well-drained soil and a heavy rainfall, quite uniformly distributedthroughout the year.

In many ui nj..' provinces, these con-ditions do not exist, whllo In others,like Vlndoro and Palawan, where sol)

Und climate are Ideal, scarcity -of la-bor renders the/ production of abacaupon a large scale impracticable.

Furthermore, .abaca plants are eerio-eraser damaged, or even killed,, by long-continued drought and are likely;. tpjbfl.uprooted during "severe typhoons. ThaInhabitants of Albay, Sorsogen andNorthern Somar were brought to dlra•trait* by the great typhoon of Sept2ti, 1906, while most of the hemp-grow-Inf provinces bave suffered seriouslywithin the past two or three yeanfrom drought

I wish you all many happy New Years;Several years ago I need to read, in a

leading New York daily, the 'articles ota witty reporter, of thejdoing8jBf_8omeof ihe^\V6men'8~Ciub8 in New Yorkand its vicinity. They were very enter-taining, but_ I got: the impression thatat a club meeting tbo air was full offlying fur, w.lili much polite -clawiueand scratching ; 'solwheu wo met, thatHpring day, to talk' over our proposed'Club, I sat oear the door to watch whatwould happen. To my pleased surprise,I found myself among old, tried friends,and others of whom the little I didknow made ~UB"the more"deW6tJ8 ~t(Tknow more,—all gentlewomen, with aknowledge of . business and practicalmutters that instantly won my respectand admiration. Tbe social atmosphere,too, VVUB so Renlal and inspiring that Icould feel myself blouoming oat, until Iacorn to have come Into a new life. Allthe drudgery of it seems glorified, andalter I have been with you, all the dlnli-washloK, dusting, and weed-pulling aremuch less irksome, as I know it mnet boto many of you.

So, to-day, this New Year's day. Iam thinking ol you all Tory tenderly .and when throe o'clock comes nextTuesday, I shall wish there wus a pri-vate telephone, between me and you.

I am In Newark, where nearly fortyyears of my life have boon speqt, and Invisiting among ray friends here, I liragathering up all kinds of hlntn that maybo Interesting 10 ue, In various ways.

In renewing my old Irlendnhlps bore,I am constantly reminded ot tho dainty"Imnd-oula" I ueod lo receive so grate-fully during llioflo hot days we woregathering up that 8300. The Wearinessnnd anxiety have been almost entirelyblotted out of my memory, but thomany pleasant happenings grow bright-er as tho dayo go on, I have broughtwith am a copy of Mrs, Dussatt's poem,about us, to thaw lo tlio punplu hero.Everybody laughs, Incrodulouitly, whenI nnnounce my tiutmncu Into Ulub-dom,Hut utter 11 wlillo ihoy begin l< Inquire,auxlously, U thtire nnrnny bulldliiij'ititiito he sold yu(, .011 uuny letiUd, in lluin-immlon.
