Uncle Sam's City of
It's the Home of the Zuni Indians, 1,600
By GARRETT P. .SERVISS.
The oldest cit in America is a city
of pagans. It is the last of the "seven
cities of Cibola," which were con
quered by the romantic1 Spanish ad
venturer, Coronado, when he marched
into what is now the state of New
Mexico in the year 1550.
We know this old city as Zuni, or
Pueblo Zuni, 'and its inhabitants,
some 1,600 in number, as the Zuni
Indians. It is one of the greatest
curiosities m existence, ine - best
brief account of it and its people
that I have ever seen is by Prof.
A. L. Kroeber of the University of
California in the American Museum
Journal, from which the Illustrations
here are taken.
We are apt to forget that we white
people have never really conquered
the original inhabitants of this conti
nent. To exterminate is not to con
quer. To hold in. subjection is not to
conquer. The world has known few
peoples who could not be conquered,
because their fundamental social and
religious ideas cannot be changed by
external pressure,, either of force or
of education.
The Jews are the most notable ex
ample of an unconquerable people.
Roman militarism could take their
sacred city and destroy their ancient
temple, but the Jewish mind was in
destructible. They have spread over
the earth and carried their genius ev
erywhere. The nation that undertakes
to persecute them shakes its own
foundations.
The little handful of the Zuni In
dians have been no less true to their
origin. In the middle of the old
pueblo of the Zuni, says Professor
kroeber, "stands a decaying, roofless
and gutted Catholic church, wHich Jiis
Who Gives Up
Most
BY DOROTHY DIX.
The Blue Pencil club of Brooklyn
recently discussed this burning topic:
Does the husband or the wife give
us the most in matrimony? -
Among the very clever opinions
contributed to the debate was one by
a lawyer, Who said:
"The round of matrimony is divided
ihto three great daily eras the first,
when the contracting 'parties are to
gether; the second, when they are
apart; the third, when they are rest
ing up for the first era to start again
the next day.
"The first era should mean the
glories, the joys, the sweets of life,
the veritable bursting forth of heaven
ly benedictions;' and so it does in
some cases. . " ,
"The second era should ' mean
heart-hunger, longing and pain in
duced by separation. I know ' it
means that; if I didn't I would sus
pect that it embraces altthe beauties
that era one should. The third era
is unquestionably the greatest of all.
To those who are Irnly ideal it means
preparation for the day to come. Jo
those who are not it means relief and
succor from the day that has gone.
"Should the. man in matrimony
give up his rights to a club? As a
headquarters yes; as a place for oc
casional relaxation no. His rights to
friends? As an obsession yes; as a
means to keep ripened the sweetness
of existence no. His rights to smok
ing? To the detriment of his wife's
health yes; because it is bad for the
lace curtains no. ' ,i ,
"Should he give up his rigtits to
free speech? If it is dominating,
abusive and unjust yes; if. it is in
self-defense no. I His rights to spend
his own money? If he does not pro
vide justly yes; if he has any left
after paying the bills no. His rights

forefathers built of adobe under the
direction of Spanish missionaries, but
two centuries of Christian regime
have not influenced the inward spirit
of the Zuni.
"No sooner did Spanish and Mexi
can authority relax than the Indian
quietly shook off the hateful yoke of
imposed religion and reverted openly
to the ancient native ceremonials,
which he and his fathers kept alive
by secret practices in hidden under
ground rooms within fifty yards of
the walls of the mission.

some of our kinds of food and use a

no.
"Should he give up his rights to
pinochle or bridge parties? If he
doesn't ' win yes; if he includes
wifey in the game no. His rights
to exercise after business hours? If
it is to the corner yes; if it is with
the baby no.
"I can well imagine that the aver
age old bachelor is positive that
were he to enter portals of matrimony
he would be passing through the gates
of doom. And no wonder! Look
around you as you pass up and down
the great thoroughfares of this great
city. See the high-heeled, hideously
painted, powder dabbed, short-skirted,
outlandishly i garbed individuals,
who with perfumed breaths and
nicotine stained fingers do the pea
cock promenade, adroitly disguising
the fact that, they are the daughters
of our most respected families.
"Then hie thee home to the fam
ily album to gaze upon the sweet,
lovely picture of mother there look,
ing forth at you. Can't yon see that
our wary old bachelor determines he
doesnjt want to marry one of the
pages of our modern fashion books
and make her the mother of his chil
dren? "No one car) say, as a broad, sweep
ing proposition, whether it is the man
or the woman, as a class, who are
chief contributing causes to matri
monial infelicities. It is my exper
ence as a lawyer that each case has
a different story to tell; that no two
are exactly alike.
"It is-a mistake to ask for expert
opinion from a married man or. wo
man, a father or a mother, on such
questions as this, on how to rear chil
dren, on marriage and divorce. If one
may judge by the volumes of matter
written on such subjects it would ap
pear that those who are best equipped
lo analyze, digest and solve any and
all domestic problems are the old
maids and sour, crusty old bachelors.
1 therefore submit this question to
them for answer."

bus' day. They know the white men
living among them only by nick
names of their own invention, which
may sometimes contain a sly sar
casm, and they count the progress
of time, not by our almanacs. but,by
the succession of ceremonials ar
ranged by their priests.
They still build terraced houses,
plastered with clay, in a fashion that
antedates history, and cultivate corn
by hand, in sandy soil on which a
white farmer would starve. They
kmake their rude, yet artistic pottery,
tneir simple garment ana ineir eiauut
ate religiouss ymbols and decorations,
just as they were made in the days
of their forefathers, and pursue their
lives according to antique ideas with
complete disregard of the new civ
ilization about them. -
They are friendly, polite hospitable,
but they ask to be let alone in .their
inner life, just as they let their neigh
bore alone; For them their religious
dances are the most important events
in the world, and their fSith is not
shaken or their minds altered by any
amousement or ridicule of dis
courteous or unsympathetic onlook
ers. They are simply indifferent to
such things.
There are sixteen clans among the
Zuni, each named after some ani
mal or plant. Descent is traced from
the mother. Monogamous marriage
prevails, but the wife owns the house
and in many ways holds the whip
hand. If a wife wants a divorce she
may take a new husband, install him
fn the house, and the old one has to
get out. Yet, notwithstanding th
ease of divorce, family life and the
institution of marriage are the bases
of society.
The whole genius of this singular
people seems to have expressed itself
in religion. Although while men, like
F. H. Cushing, have studied the Zunis
for years, and even joined the tribe
as regularly recognized members, still
much remains that is dark and mys
terious in their ceremonial life.
No day passes without some reli
gious ritual; no month, and in some
seasons, no week without a religious
dance, while the gods and mythologi
cal personages represented in the
ceremonies are believed to number

What Makes a Lady
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
"A lady is a woman who always re
members others and never forgets
herself."
This simple definition rather thor
oughly covers the situation in regard
to a woman who wants to deserve the
title "lady." A lady is a gentlewoman
who lives up to the best traditions of
her womanhood. '
A woman Who shirks her respons
ibilities, who lives the modern selfish
society life, who spends her days "on
pleasure bent" is not a lady at all,
however charming her manner and
elegant her appearance. She's just a
beautiful parasite creature living off
the world, and the little shop-girl who
sighs, ' Oh, I wish I was a lady like
her" is not picking out a particularly
good model.
I verv much Drefer the good old
English word, "gentlewoman" to the
title lady. It means so much more of
simple honesty in our standards. i
"For Judy O'Grady and the Col-
onel's Lady are sisters under their
skin," wrote Kipling and there lies
ft.. koB.V irtttU rf ,li luhU matter
French heels and marcelled hair, with
model gowns in between may make
up the semblance of what we call a
lady and cover over nothing more
than the skeleton of true womanhood.
A gentlewoman has some of that
fineChivalry in her heart which in
stinctly she demands of a real gentle
man. She is tender and kind to the
old and loves with the instinctive
mother love all little, young, helpless
or weak things. - , r"

The Telephone Operator Cannot
Tell Who Called Your Hnmber
Perhaps today your telephone
bell rang, and when you answer
ed the operator asked, "Number,
please?" , "
"Why, my bell rang!" you
probably replied.
You were answered courteous
ly, "Will you excuse it, please?"
The operator knew some sub-'
scriber had asked for your tele
phone number, then remembered
it was not the number he wanted
and had hung up his receiver, or
that you were a bit slow in an
swering and the party calling
yon had tiredf waiting and had

Topics
Cleanliness and daintiness are her
very instincts.
A low voice, a quiet manner, mod
esty and neatness are the outer signs
of a real lady. And she helps her men
folks toward the neatness and clean
ness that indicate their fineness of
fiber as instinctively as they offer her
the easier path in life to protect her
from difficulty. .
A. gentlewoman who is worthy -of
that, fine old title is honest, above
petty trickery, above intriguing to get
what she wants or jealously decrying
those who have more than she. She
doesn't cheaply cater to the weak
nesses in masculine nature. She is in
stinctively fine in herself and she re
spects all fineness, and makes her ap
peal to life through nobility and sim
ple honesty.
A real gentlewoman doesn't draw
her skirts away from those less for
tunate than she. She holds out her
hand with tender longing to help her
little sister who has gone tray.
Her charitv is never smug and com
placent. It is loving and generous. She
would no more SDeak evil than do it.
If a gentlewoman is a mother, she
thanks God for her holy estate, and
tries to be worthy of it. If she is just
a woman in the ranks of workers, she
holds the torch of ' her womanhood
high with simple belief in all woman-
hOOfi.
Reverence for herself and love for
humanity are qualities that any woman
worthy of the name must have. After
all, to be a lady one has only to be a
true woman.
No nobler task 'was ever given .
woman than to hold men and boys to
a standard of respect and reverence
for all women a belief .in mother
hood and in the sanctity of the home.
Are you .such 'a woman-a real
gentlewoman?
