They Take the Initiative I'm Love
Affairs and Do the Counting.
The custom of Mexico requires the
Indian girl to do all the counting. She
Is just as bashful as the young swain
whom she wishes to fascinate, but she
has to take the initiative in love af-
fairs. 1The young, people meet only at
the feasts, and after she has got mildly
under the influence of the native beer
that is literally consumed by all she
tries to attract his attention by dane
ing before him in clumsy way up and
down on the same spot. But so bashful
is she that she persistently keeps her
back turned toward him. She may
also sit down near him and pull his
blanket and sing to him in a gentle,
low voice a simple love song, such as
Beautiful msn to be sure" If occa-
sion requires, the parents of the girl
may say to the parents Of the boy,
Our daughter wants to marry your
SON" Then they send the girl to the
boys home that the young people may
become acquainted. For two or three
days perhaps they do not speak to each
ether; but finally she playfuiiy begins
to throw pebbles at him. If he does
not return them she Understands that
he does not care for her. If he throws
them back dit her she knows that she
has won him. She let's her blanket
drop and runs off into the woods, and
he is not long in following her.-Carl
Lumholtz in Unknown Mexico"

Wild Horse Capturing.

The work of capturing wild horses
In the vicinity Of Fox mountain and
