Cuban women are irotty Also they hold
on to their beauty mull they are long past
tho ago when tho fairness usually leaves
Tho chief fuituies ot this beauty aro Uyes
ua black as sloen hair llko tho
ravoua wing
figures that are charming n manner that h
fascinating nnd a voice that Is melodious
well modulated sweet and confiding
Cuban women aro not all smokers When
tho avcrago man conjures up a vision of a
Castlllan or her sister In tbo Com ot tho
Antilles ho usually places a clgaietto In tho
mouth ot tho blickoyed beauty ho has
brought to his mental eje Ilu is mistaken
That is as a rule ho tu Thero aro excep
tions however and i good many Hut tho
wellieued dainty chaunlng Cuban girl
does not smoke Not any moro than does
tho sister sliu l = > likely to have in tho United
Slates What I mean hi that It does not
follow that because a girl is a Cuban she
Incessantly smokes
Thc avorago Cuban girl Is not as dark as-
a mulatto Sho is more llko a Yankee girl
who has passed all summer at a fashlonablo
resort and has suceeded In accomplishing
a ttn that te Just too cute for anything And
tbo best of It nil
is that this prettlnejs ie
tnnitib until sho Is very old She In fact
never does beromo really homely She
rather takes on a sort of nn old broiue
color which is not ut all objectionable
Cukin women aro not often seen In
streots after nightfall Only
tho
aro
rarely
they to be witnessed abroad In the daytime
And never without a ehaperone either
patent brother or husband In tho com
pany or ono of these the Cuban woman goes
to tbo park In thc evening mid enjoys tho
band concert when thero Is one Or la
tho samo company she vlslt3 tho docks
and looks nt tho arrival or departure of a
steamer If sho has a friend or a iclatlvo
on board either coming fiom or going to
tbo United States the occasion of this visit
is nude quito a llttlo ment Tho women
aie ttiken out to tho ship In a small boat
and tho gaudy dresses tho bright conversa
tion and the pretty faces make a combina
tion that Is Irresistible to the beholder
Tho best tlmo to tec the Cuban woman Is
