When You Admire a Girl In Peru.

For young Peruvian to be seen on
the street with girl other than from
his immediate family, no matter how
well he might be known to her, would
involve either a marriage or coffee and
pistols for two If you are not con-
tent with gazing you had best follow
the custom and purchase as many
photographs of her as you may desire
from the stock kept on hand in the
shops. If you hesitate to pay the
price asked you as a foreigner you
must be prepared to meet the indigna-
ton of the clerk that one of Lima's
fairest daughters should be so cheaply
held. Perhaps, as the senior desires
the picture merely as souvenir, he
would be satisfied to accept others at
lower prices-lower because they are
ostensibly cheaper prints. But Senori-
ia X wears a vacuous expression,
while Senorita Y squints markedly,
and so you pay twice over for your
original choice for the sake of honoring
her pretty face. And it is considered
an honor, for girls standing in the
