THEY LIVE ONLY FOR LOVE.
Mexican Senoritas Concern Themselves
Solely with Affairs of the Heart.

SOlcly with Analrs OF the Heart.
The Mexican educates his sons and sends
them to college, but his daughters have to
remain with their mother. There are too
many women there, and they live for moth
ing but love. They become accomplished,
of course, but beyond being good enter
tsiners, good Mexicans and good linguists,
they do not amount to much.
1t is considered disgrace for Mexican
lady to earn her own living, says the New
York Journal. The men do the cooking
and mile servants do the housew ork. If a
young lady should learn stenography and
typewriting, or should try in any manner
to earn her own living, she would be ostra-
cised from society. There are many heir
esses there and there are many Mexican
adventures who make their living marry.
ing them.
They are handsome, indolent spend.
Thrills, and the ladies fall in love with
them. A Mexican woman's beauty fades
and when wealthy heiress marries one of
these men she never lives long. When
she dies her husband invariably marries
another wealthy girl.
Mexican lover must WOO in patience,
as his intentions are from the start treated
as family matter by the parents of the
beloved of his soul. He is bound by Gus.
tom to make known to his lady-love his
desire to pay his addresses If the com.
munication is pleasant he is referred to the
mother, and the siege of the maidens
heart may be said to be begun.
Custom compels the youth to exc.
cute a movement called playing the
bear" which consists of daily afternoon
promenade before the shaded jslcusie, be-
hind which sits the maiden. fianked by
her mother, sisters. female cousins and
aun;s.
Before such battery of black eyes the
suitor must pace back and forth fol- at least
twenty minutes day. Hemay toss note
up into the jslousie, if so be he has suffi-
Gent courage to face the party, but his mis-
sives are read by the mother before they
are delivered to his love.
His love may answer the notes, bat her
replies must be read and edited by her
mother before they are given to the stately
senior pacing up and down in the blazing
tropical sun. If the sutton is approved by
the family he is soon permitted to talk to the
senorita still in the presence of her family.
Ere long he is allowed to call, and thence
forth the wooing progresses more in ac-
cordance with American views.

GRAND AVE Los ANGELES (Cal.), August
IL, 1SS9.-Mr. Cooper: Your letter received
this morning, and l am happy to oblige
you by testifyiug to the excellence of the
Mathushek Grand sold me some four years
ago. It has been in constant use, and
think, instead of deteriorating and becom-
ing thin, it has sofiened and deepened in
tone. 1t required little tuning during
the first year. l have frequently recon-
mended the piano, and consider that its
merits are equal to those of the best in the
United States.
The singing quality of this piano is par
ticularly suited for vocalists, and while
agreeable in a small room, it can by its
brilliancy and power fill "a large auditorium
effectively. Yours, ETC., MRS. GEORGE
