They usually costumed in some kind thin, gauzy material, but the color is always black, and the somber tint really adds to their natural beauty. It was a nine days’ wonder, there- fore, when, soon after the Ameri- cans took possession of the island, a handsome young American girl, clad in breezy white, and decked with ritbons of gay colors, appeared on the plaza one hot afiernoon, prom- enading with a natty naval ensign from one of our warships tn the har- ee nn mmm not har in silent amazement, the senoras with distrust, and both seemed to think her the most wonderful creature they ever beheld, Instead of quiet, dig- nified demeanor, the American beau ty rattled away to her escort like railroad train running away from ite self, meanwhile pealing forth rings of merry laughter, and her bright, happy ways really had a depressing effect upon her more precise sisters, But the climax came a few day later when another American girt appeared on the plaza riding @ wheel, and clad, according to convention- ality In the States, in the usual short riding #kirts, Jockey hat and knee leggings.
