setting to the gay blankets OF the In
dian weavers, who. full OF excitement
at seeing us In Mr. Cushing's com
pany. crowded around the ambulance
to inspect us. our clothes commanding
the women's deepest interest. We
were shown into the house OF the
cleanest woman OF the pueblo. who
vacated 1t in our favor. She thought
herself we'll paid when upon our de-
parture she received for rent two sill.
yer dollars and two packages OF
needles The rooms were low, but
very pretty in color. The floors had
been covered with a thick paste OF
some earthly substance, which gilt
tered with specks OF mica and was of
a warm mauve hue. Upon this, while
II was soft, the Indian housekeeper
had drawn with stick patterns In
artistic waves and ridges. Our thick
shoes, sad to tell. soon spoiled the
pretty design, but the moccasin does
not injure II, and il therefore lasts a
long time.
Before we had time to look about us
visitors began to pour in. All the wom-
en- OF Zuni are attractive. especially
the young ones. They are slender
and graceful, and wear a charming
dress woven by themselves: II is al
ways dark blue, embroidered in a
broad band around the lower edge of
light blue in kind OF Kensington
stitch. They wear red sashes. and the
effect OF the costume is harmonious
and pleasing to the eye. We named
one little woman. Maggie Mitchell,
after the popular actress. ! never saw
anything more graceful than her at
titude as she piled us with endless
questions. Singing out the almost as
tiny southerner, our lieutenants wife,
she bounded to her side and with
pretty gestures measured heights and
compared one little foot with an
other, until, her vanity satisfied, she
gave a joyous laugh and melted away
into the crowd.
We had large following when we
went out to see the people at work

more beautiful intonating. nor looked

wearied out and dreaming OF Indian
girls brushing their lovers hair to
show their affection. of jealous wives
scolding majestic husbands, and OF
men who wanted to steal fair-haired
girls.
We rose early next day and strolled
through the narrow streets before the
city was awake. Every door stood
open, not a creature was stirring
within. and we could see the natives,
looking like chrysalises. as. rolled in

AS we started one bright summer
morning in an ambulance drawn by
four mules Mr.. Cushing rode gayly
beside us on diminutive pony which
he managed like a consummate horse
man. When he walked, as he did
sometimes to ease his horse. his
movements were full of elastic grace.
1t was due TO his Indian training that
he leaped SO lightly from rock to
rock in the deep canyons or sprung SO
alertly up the mountain sides, never
out of breath or showing the least
sign of exertion. ever ready to point
out the beauty that encompassed us.
The road was rough, and the clum-
sy old ambulance was not q bed OF

time to stop beside an adobe house at
Nutria. This was used by some of
the Zunis as summer home, where
they lived while planting and raising

planting requires no irrigation, but
draws its needed water in some mys-
terious way from the arid soil.
We found seven or eight men and
one woman in the house when we &C.
cepted Mr.. Cushing's invitation to
enter. They gazed at us long and curl
ously. asking Mr.. Cushing, whom they
called Tenatsali (the medicine flow.

the usually small and gentle Zuni
maiden. was a huge, masculine-look-

with every appearance OF intense an

room. flirting her scanty skirts in dis
dain as she passed us.

Mexican High Life VIII Not Receive
Divorces.

Divorces.
The average Mexican does not
think of marriage until he has at his
disposal a sum more than moderate,
If he happens to belong to the higher
stratum Of society, nor until 1t is con-
sented to by the unanimous vote of
every one of the members of the fam
lily. Instances can be mentioned of
two young persons who have never
met each other and in whose minds
the idea OF matrimony has never yet
entered, becoming man and wife
through the within of their parents.
1t may be that the family of the
bridegroom looks upon his matri-
monial union with a certain girl who
may happen to be the daughter of a
magnate as the means of oft avoid
ing bankruptcy; it may be that the
father of the bride considers her al
lance with the son of a politician as
an adroit measure in preventing the
downfall of the head of the house, or
in point of trivial circumstances, it
may be that a marriage is brought
about with the object of reducing the
yearly tax by the father of the bride
, groom or hat of the bride.
The motives given, and those never
given, for the Encouragement OF
such alliances vary according to con
! ditions and are always in relation to
! the position occupied by the w fam
lilies.
The frequent brevity of the pro-
ceedings in the arrangement of bridal
ties is, fortunately, giving way to a
more liberal and conscientious be
havior on the part Of parents TOWARD
i their sons and daughters. But |
should also be added that the custom
