!, most gracefully.
Mexico stll retains the title Of the
@home Of beautiful women" and has
/. had that reputation for years. Tho
young ladies from Audrnin's metro
poits have always been tine toasts Of
the entire state and men continue 10
come from far and near to choose
a beautiful and talented bride. How
ever short Of anything else Mexico
may fall, she will zsver be without
charming and lOvable women as the
, coming generation promises TO equal.
If not Eurpass the present and past.
Some years ago., TO lie exact IN
1886 zone Of the boys" of Mex
leo, q most brilliant gentleman, wrote
an article giving his opinion, and
that Of the "boys," concerning the
young ladies' of the city. The ar
ticle was published in the Ledger and
crested quite q stir-in fact the
editor received one letter as follows:
'WiIl you please tell me which one
Of the boys wrote US girls up? ]
want my Pa to lick him good. Yours,
etc, as mad as a hornet" The editor
answered the note in ms column with
the wisdom of Solomon. His answer
was: The handwriting looks like
0. Hits. The composition reminds
US Of Rem Gibbs. Have them both
licked and you won't be a miss. mo
pun intended.)" The matter was
dropped.
Many, in fact, a majority of the
young ladies mentioned by zone of
the boys" are married now and some !
Of them have daughters taking their
places in society. Lots of them {
have left Mexico and a few have
passed into the Great Beyond but I
everyone Of them is remembered by c
Mexico citizens who lived in that
day as charming, fascinating and {
lovable girls who have now blossomcd ,
into the finest of womanhood. B
