give very much information except
in a general way. To begin with, IL
there are any beautiful women here
they must be in the converts or some
other place as inaccessible, as have
never seen one that could be called
beautiful. They are easy to get ac-
quainted with, as they all want to
get married, and each wants an
American. If one calls upon one of
the senoritas he must see her in the
presence of the whole family, and
this is a rule never broken. The sec
ond time, a person is supposed to be
impressed by the girls beauty and
looked upon as a near possibility for
husband. The girl makes no hest
fancy in asking IL you are married,
and il you want a wife. The
