MEXICAN SENORITES.
Fascinating Creatures Permitted to Make
Love Only with Their Eyes.

Letter in Boston Journal.
The streets of Mexico are, in measure, un-
like those OF any other city we have so far
visited. Straight, wide and lined with handsome
houses two or three stories high, almost invar-
iabIy of stone and lighted by large windows
opening upon the small stone balconies, it loses
something of the English character which the
narrow lanes of blank adobe walls give the lesser
towns but gains a corresponding richness
These little balconies, ornamented often by
carvings and always by balustrades of wrought
iron often frightened by gliding and color and
shaded by linen awnings, make a feature in
themselves Here on Sunday and fete day, AS
well as towards evening" the youth of the city
gathers in the full dress of private life, and the
stolen glances, which form the only in
tercourse allowed between the sexes, fash
back and forward between youth and maiden.
Even deprived of the opportunity for inter
change of vows, for andclasping and tender
greeting it is self-evident that young Mejcana,
true to the traditions of her Castilian forbears,
can make as much havoc with her languishing
dark eyes and the softly futtering fan, which
supplements them, as any other girl arrayed in
the full rational outfit of courtship. This is
true, of course only when she. as always should
be but seldom is, happens to be beautiful The
pretty girls are exquisite. The slender oval OF
the face, the rich olive of the cheek, the long,
sweeping dark lashes of the superb eyes glowing
at once with passion and tenderness, the low
forehead with its ripping mass of dusky hair,
the slender neck, the 1.-the form, the sprngy step
and the dainty foot make them IKE a poets
dream of darkly brilliant loneliness not to be
measured by any type with which we have been
heretofore familiar But nature is never
overlavish, and the number of these
splendid creatures is as few as
their projections are many. Rendering
the streets at home after the Friday afternoon
rehearsal, filled with the fragile fowerlike
bloom Of winsome but delicate girihood, its
brave eyes looking the world full in the face,
with that mixture Of innocence and boldness
which is the hybrid blossom of modern civiliza-
ton, these shy but rich specimens, as as
they are wonderful, look few indeed Their
perfection is offset by an equally pronounced
ugliness on the part of the many, and young
womanhood changes into faded middle-age even
sooner than with us-which is saying great
deal Nevertheless the graceful lace mantilla,
which is yet almost universally worn in the
street, but which unfortunately is beginning to
give way to the ugly stiffness of the French hat
and bonnet, gives to many plain face such
soft and effective background that one brings
back from walk only piquant and pleasing
impression. If the Mexican women knew what
they were about they would cling to this becom-
ing headdress as they do to their faith; the sex
has no right to set aside such q charming acces-

New York Evening Post.

new YORK Evening fost.
At dainty ''pink high tea, recently given in
a city up the Hubs On, the floral decorations
upon the table were formed wholly of pink roses
and buds, set into low banks of dark green moss.
and at the plate of each guest was laid small
bouquet of pink carnations, the sweet blossoms
quickly imparting delightful fragrance to the
atmosphere of the rooms Pink and gold can
dies were set in the sconces, pink paper shades
tempered the soft glow of the many small
electric lights in the chandelier hung above the
table, and the wine jelles, creams, ices, and
blancs-manges, all took on a palei pink
shade of color. The cakes were
iced pink, the china was pink
by chance, and most appropriately, the few in
vitation cards and cases were of a like shade,
and the fair hostess wore an exquisite dress of
pale pink surah made in simple Gretchen"
style, and minus scrap of lace trimming of any
sort, except the lace guimpe around her fair
throat A single rose at her belt, and one in her
raven black hair gave a charming finishing
touch to this most attractive toilet. The scene,
complete, was glimpse of Arcadia The twelve
guests at table were served in perfect manner
by one little black-eyed waiting maid arrayed
