or Brazilian cowboy, living his daring
and picturesque existence apart on the
southern interior plains; then there Is
the important section of Brazilian soci-
ETY. best seen in its original home In
the state of Minas-the fazendeiro, or
caipira, as he is sometimes called, the
country magnate whose wealth Is his
proud plantations, and who lives also
more or less isolated with his family,
constituting his own kingdom indie
pendent and free and hospltable as
was any of our old southland planters,
or any medieval baronial lord. 1t Is
this land holders class that makes
strong appeal to young and old Brazil
alike.
This king Of the land and horses
and wide distances fascinates and calls
forth something inherent in the Bra
lillian character. This country is first
Of all an agricultural domain of colos-
sal area, and the fazendeiro still holds
in his hand the nations key. OF him
one has said: "Such authority as he
knows has vanished perhaps from the
greater part of the world, but in Bra
I'll 1t rules unquestioned forming a
powerful bond between the soil and
it's owner.
"In his powerful solitude the land
owner INDUCES in his love Of intellec-
tual culture, he inclines toward philos-
ophy; he possesses certain natural
eloouence, This Brazilian aristocracy
enjoys political as well as social pow

work of all party politics; they are It's
strength, its very life; It Is they who
govern and administer Brazil"
One is confronted here with the rem
Inants of feudal oligarchy, with the
culture and refinement belonging to 1t
in the. middle ages of Europe but with
the striking difference that this older
and influential Brazilian social order Is
being voluntarily changed and mixed
with a complex variety Of mass popu-
lation, slowly but surely forming a
democratic society," In which the spirit
of republcanism and equality is strong
err even than the spirit Of the national
religion.
Any concrete description of a home
of the better class is biography of
the life-and characteristics of the Bra
lillian woman--the wife and mother.
Domestic existence is peculiarly her
sphere Of action and influence, and
from this throne of home life she rules,
and also shines.
Brazilian women are not only nice

considering the best means Of show

Is probable that the large modern mu-
scum, with plenty Of light but with
little or no charm. will be adopted by
the civic authorities. There are many

the fortunes of war may place his
anatomy in. Also buckle, like that
on the cloth belt, for some reason, has
charms for the small boy, that are
lasting. This suit is made of dark
wooden goods, soft finish and with an
indistinct pin stripe. With stiff turn
down collar and gay-plaid tie, the boy
looks very trim and well set up in it.
For the smaller boy plain wool
goods is used to make straight, short
pants and a moderately long coat.
This is cut with pleats at each side,

belt of the material slips through

two buttons at the front to make as

ends. He may consider this tie little

Aesst DtNuuSE IL 49, iAhC thO UNIV
States, melting pot Of the nations.
When President Elect Epitacio Pes
soa was here recently he said, in a pub
lie address:
Having in mind the close rela-
lions which have always existed be-
tween our two countries It Is not sur
prising that the entrance of the United
States In the great European con-
fiict should have had a decisive In
fluence on Brazil's procedure. To the
precious title of friend, uniting our
destinies and claiming our share OF
effort and sacrifice, we added that of
ally--allied to the nation which has
just furnished to history the most
brilliant examples of ability and force.
'Now that the monstrous scourge
has disappeared from the face Of the
civilized world, and nations, impelled
by accumulated energy In the making
up of lost time, are to resume their
old life of peace and toll, Brazil will
rejoice in continuing to develop more
and more the relations of every kind
which bind her to the United States,
and to strive for this end will be one
of the fondest endeayors of my gov.
ernment."
1t is thus Of particular Importance
that the United States endeayor to un-
derstand the conditions of life in this
vast melting pot of the nations. The
melting pot OF Brazil Is not just like
ours. It seems, however, to be quite
as complicated a boiling. The racial
diversity in Brazilian society is as pro.
!, nounced as Is the variety Of its geo
graphical groups. A study Of the home
life Is. a study in ethnology. The orig
inaI Portuguese stock is found In all
4 phases Of transition from hnadulter-
ated purity through partial and COIN,
plete mixtures with native Indian and
negro and fusion with foreign ma
lions italian, German, English, Span
ish and American. The Brazil of to.
day Is a melting pot Of races and ma.
tionalities as heterogeneous as 1t is dis.
