The sign never fails. This pre-sensa-

Tehuantepec is Que Of the Oldest Of

from the beaten track Of the tourist
and trader that the olden customs and
costumes remain nearly as they were
two or three centuries ago.
The two women wear a bodice or
"camisa Of white linen, with insertion
around the neck and sleeves of the
beautiful Mexican drawn work. which
is bordered by embroidery Of red and
green. The skirt is generally bright
green, closely plated and with a deep
border of brilliantly colored cloth or
white drawn work. A broad red sash,
"rebosa, is knotted around the waist
and falls nearly to the edge of the
skirt. The costume is completed by
bright green slippers Stockings are
unknown. . ~.
The headdress is remarkable. It is
called ''huipil,'' and is made of broad,
stif11y starched lace founce, very full,
on narrow yoke. The flounce ex-
tends around the neck, as well as the
lower edge of the yoke, and is drawn
over the head and around the Shout
ders, framing the face in quantity de-
mure fashion.
The women are fond of jewelry, and
especially of long necklaces made of
gold coins. They have control Of the
greater part of the business They
throng the markets every day, some
with native chocolate, some with flow

Many of the women are handsome in
vivid, tropical way. They are tall and
