MEXICAN FAMILIES ARE LARGE
Training of Children Said to be Lack
ing in Discipline.

Mexican families are proverbially
! large Almost all Of the actual care
of children is turned over to ser
wants, who are expected to humor
every whim of their charges. Middle
and upper class parents do not edu-
cate their offsprings to respect and
engage in wholesome labor. There is
a notable absence Of discipline in the
training of children, say contributor
to the Los Angeles Times.
A Mexican family. beside wife and
children. includes more often than not
dependent relatives. \ man is bound
il called upon, to care for his parents,
his wife's parents. the maiden sisters
on either side, as well as orphan
nieces and nephews. But the same
custom which provides that a wo-
mons male relatives should care for

days enjoyed by the English or Am
erican girl. As to intellectual culture,
some of the wealthiest senOritas are
educated in Europe and many at
home in music. d smattering Of paint
ing and in the languages. but they
do not attempt history or mathe-
mates. The majority of the women
of the country know little beyond
reading and writing.
The Mexican women being left more
free from household cares than the
women Of most other countries, would
seem to have much opportunity for
social intercourse But this phase
with them is extremely quiet. They
drive i'm their carriages and visit close
friends, but there is lacking the sys-
TEN of calls, clubs. receptions and
constant theater going which obtains
among American women.
Till few years ago even the shop
ing was done largely at home. the
stores obligingly sending quantities of
silks. laces OF other goods for the in
spection of an intending purchaser on
receipt of a message borne by a ser
want. The custom was modified by
the buyers driving to the stores and
having goods brought out to their
carriages. Now Mexican women shop
as Americans do.
Mexican homes are pretty well
closed to foreigners. But when once
a stranger is admitted to the family
circle he is accorded warm hospital
ity.
