The 9ailly Arg,ts,
The Pirst Gypsy Of the Season.

q. - Il
From the Reading (Pa,l Eagle, April s.
: 1t was on Saturday that the first real
gypsy woman of the season put in an ap-
pearance on Penn street. She was the
color of an old copper cent, and her hair
was black, coarse, and very straight. She
was dressed 10 cherry colored clothing, and
her eyes were black and piercing. Her
people were encamped outside the city
limits, having arrived IN this section from
Chester County. She gave her name as
Barbara Gomez, and, although she was
but thirty 1--WE, years of age, she was the
mother of fourteen children She was
born near the foot Of the Pyrenees Noun
tains, in Northern Spain, and was married
at the early, age of fifteen, when she. re-
moved to the north of England. Five
years ago they came to America. They
wintered in Alabama, and left there about
a month ago for the north travelling by
wagon and railroad. The woman said
that Pennsylvania was their state for bus
mess for the entire season from April un-
til November Her husband with his
brothers and their families travel. togeta-
er. The men deal in horses, while the
women tell fortunes and sell trinkets. In
this way they gain livelihood, and the
woman was very emphatic when she said
it was an honest livelihood. The gypsy
woman was asked her opinion of the Ross
abduction case. She gravely shook her
head and replied that h. had heard about
it and had contemplated it in great sorrow.
Then she flew into passion and cor
demned the people for blaming the gyp
sizes. In broken English she said tn;
gypsies generally had enough children Of
their own to take care of, without stealing
those belonging to other folks. After the
woman had been paid for her time and
opinion, she drew from the depths of her
pocket small piece of dried root. Take
this, she said, land keep it about you.
There viii be many trials and troubles In
the land before long, both by sickness and
misfortune. This root of the wild flower
will do you no harm" And with great
ceremony she handed the charm to her
visitor, just as if its power to protect was
actually as great as she represented it to
be. She prides herself on her great power
to tell fortunes truly,and she said that she
averages $40 and $l2 day In the pursuit
of that business. y She said that she was a
real gypsy, and had acquired her knowl.
edge at the age of fourteen from her great.
grandmother in Spain, Finally she be-
came sullen and cross, and with shrug Of
her shoulders she departed without saying
another word. Somuch for the first gyp
sy of the season. ....f ~. = .f.-..
