THE CUBAN WOMEN
They Are Learning to Pattern After
Their American Sisters

AT present the eyes of the Cuban
American sister, whom she is begin
ming to ape in many ways. Among
other things h has adopted the thick
sOled walking shoe to take the place
of the little slippered effects hat Were
fit only for velvet carpets. The free
dom, too, enjoyed by American women
is attracting her, and no wonder. A
story is TOLD of a young American Off
Ger, who became enamoured of a young
Cuban girl, and was much surprised
the first time he invited her to walk
to find the entire family waiting at
the front dOor to accompany them.
This is almost equal to the story
that the ~Infanta Eulalie tells in Frank
Leslie's Monthly of the woman who
sat for hours waiting for her maid to
her across the street, it
lot being the proper thing for her to
go alone.
Perhaps the chief attraction of the
Cuban girl is her dizziness. Her
principal accomplishment is needle
work. and she likes to adorn herself
with dainty garments. She ear eX-
quisite linen, and for cleanliness is I'M
rivaled.
But she is not at all an up-to-date
young Oma She cares nothing for
cultivating her brains. She still re-
joiceS in ar e~ighteen-inch waist, and
thinks culture has not yet invaded
the Cuban shores.

MS appointment and will probably re-
turn Immediately to Norfolk. Mr.
Tunis is in Baltimore, where the law
yers in the case were in conference
yesterday.
The announcement of this receiver
ship was a great surprise. Not only
the lumber trade, but all the business
men of the city We're ignorant OF the
embarrassments of this large and rep
utabie firm.
a prominent member of the lumber
trade here, in speaking of the firm 10
a reporter, stated that the indications
are that the Tunis company will pay
out; but its financial status is not
known here. Its headquarters are in
Baltimore and few, if any persons,
here will be affected by the failure. He
said that valuable standing timber. a
large amount of marketable lumber
say S130, 900 worth, an up-tO-date plant
worth $3.50. 900 or 5000, 900, with a large
amount of cOllectible open accounts
should enable the receives To pay the
debts.
This company, he said, sold lumber
all over the country in CARROTS. These
lots Were considered small in the lum-
Der trade, 5000 and $500, and therefore
the merchants rarely gave notes for
them. They were sold on 80 days time.
That plan required the company to
put out a large amount Of money for
which there was no immediate return.
The plant has a capacity for 100, 900
feet a day. The mill here is the chief
mill, the one al Baltimore having been
burned several years ago and not re-
built. That mill was insured, s that
h company suffered no great loss.
This gentleman said also that the
members of the Tunis Company had
the respect of the trade and that the
other members would assist them in
returning TO business.
