CREOlES.

F. NJ. R.-Disabuse your mind
at once of the idea that "Creoles"
are crosses between whites and
negroes, Indians or some other
non white breed. Creole is
term originally used to designate
an inhabitant of the Spanish col
onies who was descended from
the European settlers, as distin-
guished from the aborigines, the
negroes and mulattoes. The same
thing applies to the French Gre
oles." The French Creole is the
descendant OF the original French
settlers in this country, and Is in
no sense negro, Indian or other
non Caucasian person.
