querque. Near Laguna a little stream
called the Rio Puerco flows southwark and
Joins the Rio Grande. There Ia verdurs
along these streams, and gardens and fruit
orchards repay the rude irrigation. In
spite of these watercourses the aspect of
the landscape Is wild and desert like
low barren hills and ragged lodges, wide
sweeps of sand and dry gray bushes, with
mountains and long lines of horizontal
lodges Ia the distance. Laguna Ia built
upon rounded elevation OF rock.
Its appearance Is exactly that OF Syrian
village; the same cluster Of little, square,
fiat rooted houses In terraces, the same
brown color, and under the same pale blue
sky, And the resemblance was completed
by the appearance Of the women on the
roofs, or moving down the SLOPE erect and
supple, carrying ON the head a water jar,
and holding together by one hand the
mantle worn like Spanish rebozo. The
village Is irregularly built, without much
regard to streets or alleys, and IL has no
special side of entrance or approach. Every
side presents blank wall OF adobe, and
the entrance seems quite by chance. Yet
the way we went over the smooth slope
was worn here and there In channels three
or four inches deep. as II by the passing
feet of many generations.
The only semblance OF architectural regu-
iarity Is In the plaza, not perfectly square,
upon which some of the houses look, and
where the annual dances take place The
houses have the effect of being built In ter
races rising one above the other, but IL Is
hard to say exactly what a house is
whether 1t is anything more than one
room. You can reach some of the houses
only by aid OF ladder. You enter Others
