A Mexican grandee IN equestrian cos

seen in the entire country. He often.
including his saddle, wears q thousand
dollars worth Of clothes and things.
From the crown ofhis head TO the soles
Of his feet he is thing TO be admired
and wondered at. Beginning at the top,
his sombrero cost anywhere from $50
to $3.50. No thoroughbred gentleman
ever wears one worth less than s25,
and even the man who blacks your
boots has as much and sometimes more
than that invested in his hat. A friend
Of mine who was away all summer paid
his footman, or portero," s42 back
wages on his return. The fellow spent
s35 for sombrero and gave the balance
to his family.
Then the equestrian has handsome
ly-embroidered velvet or cashmere
jacket, pale-pink sash, a silver
mounted revolver in silyer-mounted
belt, a sword that is worth ESQ OF a75,
solid silver buttons, sometimes in double
rows, with loops or chains down the
seams Of his trousers, which are often
of leather. Then his silver spurs aud
patent-leather boots sit gracefully upon
a silver-plated stirrup, which is at
tached to saddle that may be worth
from ESQ to $500.
Suits for boys ten and twelve years Of
age, with full outfit, from sombrero
to sword, can be purchased and are
often seen on dusky youngsters riding
