No Suffrueeffes in MEXICO
OF Whatever Social Class the Women Beyond

However much the Mexican men OF TO-

In the blame or the glory. because they
know very little of affairs outside OF wom-

like ''Incle Toms Cabin and no women
abolitionists and orators TO help fire the
zeal of warriors. Even the women of the
highest classes take little interest in public
affairs and such a thing as suitraSeue
would be an impCssiblity i'll land where
no senorita who regards her good name
appears on the street unchaperoned, and
where fashionable education consists OF a
little music and embroidery In marked
contrast to the fascinating senorita OF
Spanish descent, but keeping, like her,
"woman's place in the home" Is the peon.
or Indian girl. of the class which makes
up the great bulk of Mexican population.
She performs patiently and stoically all the
kinds of domestic drudgery which fail TO
women in a primitive state of society.
Woman's place in Mexican life is the
inevitable mnSling of the Moorish ideas of
the Spanish Conquerors and the savage
ideas of the Indian natives. The Castilian

walls and the picturesque lattces OF ro-
