and Cholas and the Cholitos. The Cho-
las are the women, and Cholitos is
semi -affectionate term for the girls. The
choles are the mixed breed made by the
crossing of the Spanlard and the Indian.
The Cholo men dress much as we do, but
the women and girls have the same COS
tune they have had for a generation or
more. They delight in delicate colors, and
seem to have robbed the gorgeous Andean
sunsets for the tints of their shawls and
dresses. They have skirts of rose-red
and sky-blue. Hundreds of them wear
skirts of sky-green, and not a few have
short dresses as red as the sun as its set
ting. They have shawls of the finest OF
silk of the most delicate hues, and these
are so draped that they stand out over
the skirts, which are propped out with
hoops. The skirts themselves reach only
to the ripe curve of the calf, whose
plumpness is brought out by the high
shoes of white, cream or blue kid that
form the fashionable footgear. The Chola
shoes have very high heels. They are
buttoned high up. but are always tied at
the top by cord with a tassel that
| hangs half way to the ankle.
! The girls have white straw hats with
| tiny black bands around the crown and
bows on one side. The bands seem to be
| pasted on the hat. and sometimes they
are merely streaks of black paint. AS the

ChOIO Women Are Proud.
The Cholo women are very proud Of
their admixture of white blood. They
! think themselves above their Indian sis
ters, and look down upon the woman who
wears blanket and sandals. They are
/ brighter than the Indians Many of them
, are traders who buy and sell in the mar
kets, and they do much of the retail
business of the Bolivian capital, having
small stores and saloons. Not few are

ing perhaps those of their husbands,
who strut the streets Of the Bolivian
capital. having allowances Of pin money
from the trade carried on by their wives.
the markets We pass scores of Indian
women wearing striped blankets of red,
yellow, blue and green. There are also
natives in black mantos, with black crepe
shawls wound tightly around their olive
skinned faces. They have stopped on
their way home from church. They have
prayer books in their hands, and also
prayer mats. Many are accompanied by
the men OF the family. who wear high
black silk hats, black clothes and black
gloves. There are also foreigners, for

farther on are peddlers of fruit Every
thing is sold by the pile, and you measure
the pile by your eyes. There are no
weights and measures to tell you how

pile, and the piles are exceedingly small.

Variety In Great.
The variety of the vegetables, fruits
and meats is great, and the quality
is especially fine. This high plateau is
the home of some of the chief crops Of
the world. 1t Is known that the potato
came from the Andes, and it is a question
as to whether this is not the birthplace Of
our Indian corn. Bolivia has maize, the
grains OF which are twice as large as any
| grown by our farmers. Some are OF a
bright yellow color, every grain as big
as my thumb nail. Others are white, OF
twice the size of a lima bean, and so
| floury that they could be mashed 10 a
powder between two stones. Some OF the
corn Is of a mulberry color, other kinds
| are red or even jet black
! AS TO the potatoes, they are red, white
and yellow, and some are as pink as the
toes Of the babies playing among them.
Some Of the potatoes are as big as your
fist, and other varieties not more than
the size of a thimble. They are all sold
by the pile and half dozen or ten make
up the average purchase.
Nearly every potato seller has ehuno
