These qualities often make them quite
irresistible to foreign men. accustomed
to the colder and more artificial man
ners of northern women.
There is no doubt that the climate of
Mexico incines to both physical and
moral Incidence. and exercise of either
body or mind such as people indulge in
in the United States or Europe seems
impossible there. The old fashioned
Mexican of culture was quite content II
his daughters went to church con-
stantly embroidered. sang a little and
painted a little.
Mexicans read very little. The chill
dren generally have a talent for music
and drawing. but do not often become
proficient In either.
But II Mexican ladies are ignorant
they very seldom show II. They have.
as a rule. great tact which prevents
them from wandering out of their
depth or showing that they are not well
informed on the subject under discus
sion. Many OF them have fine voices
and they sing with much good nature
and readiness. They are self-possessed
and never awkward.
Whatever the private conduct OF the
individuals their outward behavior is
marked by perfect decorum. II they 60
to church regularly, are charitable and
give no scandal by their outward be-
havior they may do pretty much as
they please otherwise. Flirtations in

in most daughters Of Eve. Women OF
the upper class dress very handsomely
though sometimes a trife gaudily for
northern taste. Many beautiful dia-
monds and pearls are seen. The pos
session of diamonds is not always q
proof Of wealth. as no man above the
lowest rank ever marries without pre-
senting his bride with at least a pair OF
diamond earrings or a pearl necklace
with a diamond clasp.
Mexican families who have lived for
any length OF time In Europe have nat
urally adopted many foreign ways. but

Of "old maid" Is unknown, and the most
