Mexico,s WAY With Women.

Woman's place in Mexican life is the
inevitable mingling of the Moorish
ideas of the Spanish conquerors and
the savage ideas Of the natives the
Milwaukee Sentinel says. The Castil-
ian hides his wife and daughters be,
hind stone walls and the picturesque
lattfces Of romance. and he Is their
lord and master On the other hand,
the Indian tribes are. OF course. stin
bound by the spirit of the ancient saw
age customs. Historians tell of one Of
the baptismal ceremonies of the Mesh
ic tribes. who fought their way to su-
premacy long before the Spanish ar
rived on the scene. To each boy baby
the priests chanted this command:
"Thy profession and faculty is war.
thy obligation to give the sun to drink
blood Of the enemies and the earth
corpses of the foes To the girl baby
they said with far less ceremonial:
"You are to stay within the house. as
the heart does within the body. Our
Lord enshrines you in that place. and
your office is to fetch and to grind
maize in the metate."
