A Woman's Impression of the Philippines is an interesting take on the country based on a California citizen's travels to Honolulu, Manila, and throughout the Philippines. Excerpt: "On the morning on which we drew our travel-pay checks, one of the Radcliffe girls was most eager to get downtown before the bank closed. The shops of Manila had been altogether too alluring for the very small balance which remained in her purse after our ten days at Honolulu. The efforts of the small boys were fruitless, so she resorted to the expedient of trying to gather up a carromata from someone leaving his at the Exposition Building."
Excerpt from A Woman's Impressions of the Philippines When we returned to the deck, it was crowded with passengers, the mail was coming aboard, and all sorts Of bugle-calls were sounding, for we were carrying casuals. It was a matter of wonder that so many persons should have gathered to bid adieu to a pas senger list recruited from all parts Of the Union. The dock was black with people, and our deck was densely crowded. Khaki-clad soldiers leaned over the side to shout to more khaki on the dock. An aged, poorly dressed woman was crying bitterly, with her arms about the neck of a handsome boy, one of our cabin passengers; and all about, the signs Of intense feeling showed that the voyage marked no light interval Of separation. I stood at the forward rail of the promenade deck, and fell into conversation with a gentleman whom I had met in San Francisco and who was a fellow passenger. We agreed in being glad that none of our relatives were there to see us off; but, though we made much ado to seem matter-of-fact and quite strong-minded about Oxpatriating ourselves, I noticed that he cleared his throat a great deal, and my chin annoyed me by a desire to tremble.
