Show NEW YEAR'S IN MANILA. To occidental eyes' New Year's day in Manila Is a strange olla podrida of Christmas, Etister and Fourth of July. The day Is ushered In with early mass, celebrated In the cathedral, which is attended by all the women attired In old clothes, and the poorer class bare-fooled, bare-fooled, and the wealthy In sombre black with black mantillas or shawls shrouding their heads. But Immediately Immedi-ately after breakfast everybody begins be-gins to prink and preen for callers. Raven locks are plastered Into elaborate elab-orate coiffures with cocoanut oil and crowned with red or yellow blossoms. |
