MEXICAN BEAUTIES.

"G TO mingir the blood of the Indians
with the blue blood of a certain ele-
mrut of their couquerors and descend
ants of the conquer0rs. This is the
gucra element, which has held its
own iuvlulate amidst the surelng
passions surrounding it,amidst temp
talions which nothing but naughty
prlhc of race would or could have re-
sisted. There are two types of
gucras. The first has some very dis
tlnct characteristics. The face is
-ulrirueltc.nnd has that subdued eX-
preston which invariably results from
religious meditation, and in color is
white as alabaster. The flesh is
;auItlcs>iy white, tinged with re-
lirci but healthy pallidness. The
yes are usually dark, large and ius-
irous, ami tie hair abundant aud
black as the ravens wing. The teeth
are perfect, and white rs snOwtiakes.
TIE "IubIas,' the second type, are
superb specimens of womanhood, and
are so called because they have au-
burn or golden hair, which in some
instances runs into flaming rich
red color. The eyes are often deep
b'ue, aud soft and entreating in their
expression. The flesh has sunset
'inge to it which indicates more
warm and sensuous nature than that
of the palerhued women. Near the
town of Aqua Caliente, state of Sim
atoa. there is a village of rubias, the
young women Of which are match

and graceful, with richly rounded
busts and symmetrical forms, and q
step as 1.-THE and elastic as fawu's

Of the poetry Of motion. They have
something in their manner and style
similar to the higher classes of Rus

resemble. The rubias, like the
gueras, live mostly in the interior,
where the climate is more mild and
genial, while the dark races inhabil
