MEXICAN LOVE.
How A Mexican Girl Revenges Herself
When She Is Tilted.

When q young Mexican woman falls In love
there is no nonsense about 1t, no thought OF
the consequences, no mercenary object In
view. The world becomes to her scene OF
enchantment, and the idol Of her affections a
seraphic being especially created for hsr wor-
ship. Her absortiOn into Its existence Is COM
plete. She revels ln the atmosphere OF pla-
tonic love, as a lady-bird OF Paradise revels In
the tropical ether, and as Innocent, guleless
and happy. TO her life ID a delicious dream,
and only one adored object existing In all that
beautiful dreamland. She Is Eve In the Car
den OF Eden, and woe to the serpent Ia wo-
realms OF that garden How subdued and
saint-llke Is the expression OF her face; how
dove-like the GoOiDg and the wooiDg OF this
happy, happy creature.
Who would think that beneath all this the
tigfess turks, and Is only waiting to spring
upon some hated rival? Let her appear and
then the enchantnent is ruthiessly broken,
the saiute5s no longer exists. All la changed
There 10 q marvellous transformation into the
machetera, who, maddened with jealousy,
seeks vengeance upon her who has desecrated
Eden and robbed 1t OF Its glory by looking on
the Idol with longing eyes. The machetera
has no murder in her heart, no love OF she'd
ding human blood, but with the finer woman
Instinct she knows that II she can only mar
the beauty OF her rival she has more thor
onghly murdered her than II she were dead.
To have her victim carry exposed scars
through life ls the penalty that alone must be
paid. Watching her opportunity, the macha-
tera springs upon her victim, and, with
uplifted weapon, strikes her upon the
cheeks or delicate, MISUNDERSTANDING hands
with the skill OF u surgeon who knows how
far to 90 without endangeripg the life OF his
patient. This accomplished, the machetera,
having satisfied her terrible jealousy, goes
quietly hofne while the wounded woman is
the objec. OF the most tender and devoted care
on the part Of her friends. The affair is not
considered disgracefuI, because tho pure, un-
selfish love which caused it sanctifies the act
OF the one and the Injuries Of the other. Wo-
men in the higher circles OF life never Indulge
In such warfare, preferIing to suffer in ST.
lence, while those In the lower strata have
such surroundings as Danish both love aud
rheteras are s9 IF + the middis Glasses nodest

fault Is they love not wisely but too well.

When the Danish missionaries had secured
the confidence Of the GreenlanderS marriage
WAS made religious ceremony. Formerly
the man married the woman rs the Romans
dill the Sabiue wOmen-by force. One OF the
missionaries, writing to his journal, describes
The style Of present courtship AS follows:
The suitor, coming to the missionary, SAID
Il should like to have wife"
"Whom 2" asks the missionary. The man
names the woman.
'Hssb thou spoken TO her z"
Sometimes the man will answer: "Yes She
ID not willing, but thou knewest worn snkind."
More frequently the answer is: mo"
t'Why mott"
1T ts difficult. Girls arc prudish. Thou
must speGk to her."
The missionary summons the girl and
after little conversation, says:
7 think 1t time TO have thee married"
i won't marry"
What pity! had sutton for thee"
"WhoIn?"
The missionary names the man who has
sought his old.
"He Is good for nothing. 1 won't have
him."
But" replies the missionary, she Ia good
provider, he throws his Larpoon with skill,
and he loves thee"
Though listening to his praise with evident
pleasure, the girl answers:
Il won't marry; won't have him.
swell, / won't force thee. / shall soon find
q wife for such a clever fellow"
The missionary remains silent, IA though
he understood her mo to have ended the
matter.
At last with a. sigh, she whispers: Gust as
thou wilt, missionary"
NO" replied the clergyman. "as thou wilt;
I'll not persuade thee"
Then, with a deep groan, comes "yes," and
the matter Is settled.
