Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Springer, whose
;husband was attached to our lega-
lItion in Havana, has excellent opportu-
nities Of observing society in- Cuba,
and in Leslie’s Weekly she tells some-
;thing about the maids and matrons of
the “Gem of the Antilles.”
i Slender, graceful Cuban maids, with
?smoot-hly plaited tresses. black as the
,raven’s wing; large, lustrous, dreamy
l-black eyes; clear, pale complexion, re-
sembling the waxen tint of the lily,
have their pretty heads filled with
schoolroom. ._

again; Adolphus restores to his uncle
that bargain-ocunter over-coat which
ionsodong'a time has kept his tender
brisket warm, though it betrayed him
in the matter of his legs; the buds are
bursting on the limb; the grass, the
flowers, and the trees invite to dalli-

Wheeling is not her metier. . Stout
gentlemen do not climb the, greased
pole- at the fish-fry. Hollow chested
citizens do not succeed in the prize
ring. The bicycle, like other things,
docs not adjust itself to everybody. ,
if men chose to make guys of them-
selves by chasing down the street in
silk hats and wildly waving Prince Al-
;eert coats, let them do-so by all means. ‘-
It doesn’t matter much .how men look,
anyhow. But we haven right to expect
that women shall be graceful and pretty
when they perform in public, and if
do not agree with them they should
wheel on their own premises, or, better
still, stop altogether. .
fortunately for us, the proposed dress
will fit our Norwalk girls like the paper
or. the wall. It will make. them look
sweeter than ever, which is straining

be the reason why Cuban girls look:
forward to matrimony as a release
from these irksome bonds. The rO~l
mantic manner in which courtship isl
carried on. tends to keep alive their'
illusion-s, for lovers usually walk up,
and down before their lady love's
dwelling, like a. sentinel on duty, be—
cause they are debarred from calling
on a. maiden until formally engaged,
and then they can only see her in. the

watch over her offspring.
Many years ago no gentleman was
permitted to touch a. lady’s hand, but
he would bow deeply before her; whilei
nowadays shaking hands is even more-
common than among our own people.
It used to be the height of impro-
priety for a bride to be seen until the
expiration of eight days after the wed—
ding, and she would keep in strict se-
clusion during that period; while new
the bridal couple do not shun society.
One of the customs still prevalent is,
that no gentleman can escort a lady:
as far as the next corner, although’
his hair were snowy white, if she
were not a member of his own fam-
ily. However, greater intercourse
with foreign nations, more extended
travel—for Cubans are cosmopolitan——
have tended to modify many of their;
customs. There is a peculiar feature
in Spanish ’law- which favors lovers.
Provided a'suitor can support a wife,
no matter how low his social condi-
tion-fend how inferior to that of the;
girl he loves, if she is willing to mar~§
ry him in spite of her parents' oppo-'i
sitio’n, he can appeal to law, the judge:

friemijs house and ‘the'marriag’e takes '

Divorce is unknown in Cuba, be-;
cause the Roman Catholic church does:-
not sanction divorce, although separa-’_
tion is allowable in extreme cases},
However, neither party can re-marryg;
until death releases the survivor. i
