SIGHTS IN MEXICO.
Market Square"Narrow Stree!s and
Quaint Bulaings"Public Bath"
~ ~Wealth and Poverty Mingle
on the Plazas"How the
Young People do their
Courting.
After leaving the cathedrals,
mentioned in our last article, we
visited the market. This present-
ed os busy a scene on Sunday as
on week days, and afforded much
interest. Thousands of people
were gathered here buying and
gelling, some crying their wares,
some ringing bells to attract at-
tract attention, and nearly all
making some kind of noise. The
market house occupies the center
~ of a square, and beside this being
full of sellers the entire space
out to the street, and even in the
street, on every side contains
staucs, tables and counters fuli
of something to sell, some of
these be ug under awnings and
others right out in the hot sun.
Those who could not get stands
had a bianket spread out on the
street with their wares displayed
on it. And every imaginable
thing 's offerred for sale ght on
~this market square, Sceme had
full stocks of dry goods, some
haa grocer.er, some shoes, some
ciothing, some hats, some yege-
tables, some jewelr;, some no
tions, some sugar caue, some
fruits, some confections, some re-
freshmentz, some o:d junk, some
live pigs, sowe pottery, some
kindling wood, some coal, some
peaauts, some pies"and the bard
est looking pies we ever laid eyes
on, too. Well, we mighé take a
whole column naming things sold
there ard not mention haif of
them. It put the American city
department store in the shade for
variety.
As our party, now divided up
into small squads for better tak-
ing in the sights, wended our
way through and amoug this mar-
ket crowd, we attracted as much
attention end seemed objycis of
as great curiocity to the Mexicans
as they were to us. They al
wanted to sel us something, and
when we we would lovk at an ar-
ticle andask quanto? (how much)
they would jabber some Spanish
abus und look amazed that we
did not understand it. Now and
then ooe who anticipated that we
didoTt know it al was thovghtiul
encugh to sbow a coin represent-
ing the price. But our guide had
warned us to be careful about
making quick purchases, as the,

When they found out we were on
_ to their trick it was an easy mat-
ter to get things at our own price,
- go to speak. The market scenes
- and incidents were so interesting
*that muby of us made several vis.
ite there before leaving Monterey.
The streets of Monterey, as
proviously referred to, are yery
rrow, and on many of these the
walks are barely 8 feet wide.
houses are very tquaint and
suburbs they are built of stone,
alleys between them. Most of
them are only one story high,
one seldom being seen above two
stories. The walls are from two
to four feet thick and even the
floors and roofs are of stone or
cement. The only wood used
about a building is the shutters
to doors and windows and the
girders that support the roof or
upper floor. Being thus con-
structed they are practicall7 fire
proof, and it is well this 18 so, for
owing to the scarcity of water the
city has no means of fighting fire.
There are no porches to the
houses but frequently where
there are upper stories a bal-
cony hangs over the sidewalk.
All the windows are protected by
strong iron gratings giving the
appearance of a prison. The
buildings are all very much alike
and the only yard about any of
them is in an open court between
the rear wings.
The average Mexican is far be-
hind the American in point of
modesty. For instance, in the
heart of Monterey is a public
bath, where in the morning be-
fore the sun has become too hot
huodreds of children of both sex-
es, some of them nearly grown,
may be seen bathing together,
the only covering to the bodies
being a short garment about the
waist. Even the most abbri-
viuted bathing suits seen at our
American seaside resorts puts
the blush on those used in
Mexico.
There are many beautiful places
about Montery, notably the pla-
zas, several of them being con-
veniently located through the
city. These may not be alto-
gethed so grand, but in appears
ance call to mind the many
beautiful parks in Wassington.
In the throngs at the cathedrals
and about the market, and so far
as they had been seen on the
street in the morning part of the
day, we had noticed that the
women, with some excep.ions,
were still bonnetless. Comment-
ing on this we asked a guide if
this was the prevailing custom"
ifthe women wore nothing but
cloaks over their heads and if all
theT men wore sombreros. He
replied, oJust wait until evening
when the aristocracy comes out
and you will see style in plenty.�
And so we did.
The sun had barely dropped
sufficiently behind the mountains
to cast a shadow oTer the city
before Monterey seemed trans-
formed into another place so far
as population is concerned. ~The
plaza in front of our hotel rapidly
filled with landsomcly dressed
men and stylishly robed women
that looked almost Amerivan.
These promenaded the broad
walks for hours, while the sur-
rounding boulevards were gay
with elegant equipages. There
were now visible silk tiles and
snits that would have done credit
joany of our popular clotkiers,
bats that any of our .milliners
would nave been delighted to fur-
fushion. To entertain the crowd
a 3plundid band occupied the po-
gition in the centre of the plaza and
rendered popular airs. Such 4 con-

there to get his full share of it.

while sitting there a cilizen, who
spoke English quite fairly, ex-
plained some of the social customs
of the people. He said that in
Mexico parents were very guarded
of their daughters and did not
allow them the freedom of going
out at will like they doin America.
If a man stared at a lady in
public enough to displease her

punishment tor the offence, Ifa

become engaged the limit is ex-
tended to 15 minutes, and if they
get any further private conversa-
tion he must stand outside the
window and talk to her through
the bars.
All this may or may not be
tue, but that kind of custom, we
thought, would not agree with
the United States boy, even if his
girl could stand it. Put Bob
Moye, George Woodward, Jim
Starkey, or a dozen others that
could be named, to talking to
their girls through iron bars, and
theyTd file the bars in two inside
