clothes, but on their sweating faces
is an almost sickly pallOr that con-
trasts curiously with the rudy COM
plexiOn of the Americans.
The band strikes up a lively rag
time tune. Two soldiers, khaki-clad,
slither over the tagged floor of the
plaza. A rifle is slung from the Shout
der of one of them.
Even the, Mexicans are compelled
to smile glumly at their antics.
Very difficult TO place are the Wo-

of officers. Others are expatriates.
Even the young among them seem
old. They are oVer-dressed. Their
faces are stained. Perhaps it's the
heat. One imagines they are tired,
and that their gaiety it artificial and
forced.
There are celebrities on the plaza.
Jack London, in loOse-ftting khaki,
knows every one and continues his
bout with John Barleycorn. Richard
Harding Davis, the novelist, looking
uncomfortable in correct and starchy
clothes, holds alOof.
To him comes a filthy beggar,
whining and showing hideous sores.
Davis shoulders and turns away.
The crowds at the table thin. The
women have. gone to bed to toss
through sleepIess hours in sitting

virtue may go abroad without es-
cort at any hour, and not at all after

Come then; pretty and smiling
senoritas of the underworld. Come,
too, singing from the alleys, the
creatures of the Mexican night, to
search for scraps among the tables
and in the cutters. Gaunt they are,
and very timid.
They are telling the story of the
