But the browning beauty OF Qua

the town. This is surrounded by bust

portals over the sidewalk. Under these
portals the women do a thriving trade
at their little stalls and here can be
found everything from shoe string
up to rare carved piece of onyx. Here
one can find at certain seasons the
wonderful penates or dolls which the
MeXicans use for Christmas instead
OF Christmas tree. These penates
are of all sizes and conditions, some
dressed elegantly and others clothed
In modest raiment. They hang in
the markets suspended from wires
placed high over head and are cut
down when sold and handed to the
buyer who may drive home in an
elegant carriage with one beside him
or may sling the penate over his back

There are fine cement walks and two
such walks with seats at the sido ex-

this Is not so. Guadalajara is partic-

however, are small and he feeds upon

remaining quiet for considerable
time at the surface of the sea without
moving about. You will notice from

military band in the Moorish pavilion,
the soft tropical nights, the flowers, the
