WRITES INTERESTING LETTER
FROM MEXICO
Zitacuaro, Michoacan, Mexico,
April 1, 1924.
Dear Friends: i
If 1 were a writer, or thought I
vote, I'd give you the usual “Impvej- 1
sions of Mexico,” insto.ul of this infor I
ira! letter but even on *he lint day of!
A - ril, I can’t fool myself or H’j'hcdyj
else into thinking I am.
A« soon as we had cross \1 the U’o
Grande, we were appalled at the pov
erty of the people. Almost all wo saw
were distressingly poor. From Laredo
to Mexico City we could see poverty |
glaring everywhere, and the “impres
sion was lasting” when we stopped at
San Luis Potosi, the only city through
which we passed in day time. The im
pression was intensified in Mexico
City, and here, we have “the poor al
ways” with us. I have met wealthy
people, people of refinement and cul
ture, but they are few in comparison
to the hordes of bedraggled and apa
thetic ones.
One of my observations that inter
ests me most is the similarity of Mexi
co to the Holy Land. Though I have
never been to Palestine, things come
before me constantly to make me
think 1 am there. Almost any picture
we have of that part of the world
could be duplicated here. Most of the
customs and the manner of dress of
poorer classes are similar. Methods of
ploughing, grinding com—“two wo
men shall be grinding at the mill”—
washing clothers, carrying water,
modes of travel, are as primitive.
A few Sundays ago we walked a
bout three miles to a village Sunday
School. It must have been just such a
road “down” which the good Samari
tan traveled and found the suffering
Jew, who had been robbed. We walk
ed, for as in the time of Christ, the
only means of travel to the nearby
towns is on foot or on donkey. In our
city there is a mule car, but it runs
only from depot to plaza. There isn’t
a buggy, wagon, or automobile. In
Mexico City there are thousands of
automobiles, but here even wealthy
brides must walk to the church, for
the soldiers have the horses.
Not long ago we attended a wed
ding that was typical of the upper
classes. But the civil service had to be
at the home of a friend next door to
the church, as there was nothing to
ride and the bride couldn’t walk the
streets in bridal attire.
In Mexico everybody has to have
the “civil service” to be legally marri
ed. But as Roman Catholics won’t
recognize any marriage not made by
a priest, all Catholics have the reli
gious ceremony also. Protestants re
quire tlhe civil marriage, and uccept it
without the religious ceremony, but
most of them have the latter anyway
as a kind of benediction.
It was very much like a home wed
ding in the States, but longer drawn
out, and without music and prayer.
There was the signing of names in
the city registers of officials, par
ents, and other witnesses, as well as
of bride and groom.
Cupid was visibly present, in the j
form of little Isabel Ross, dressed in |
white, and equipped with bow, arrows, |
quiver and a big red heart. This last
she opened at the exact moment that
the groom and bride were pronounc
ed man and wife, and displayed their
initials in silver.
This over, the bridal procession
went out and stood in the corridor,
while the guests went to the church.
It was elaborately decorated. The
unique features were white crepe pa
per bows on the end of each seat, lace
curtains at the windows, and a canopy
of lace over the pulpit. In silver let
ters back of where the bride and
groom sat, were “Whom God Hath
Joined Together, Let No Man Put A
sunder.” ,
The bridal procession, excepting
bride, groom, two maids, two grooms
men, train bearers, and Cupid, march
ed up into the choir loft. These sat in
a circle below. Then the minister an
nounced a hymn and we all stood and
joined in. This was followed by pray
er, sermon, questioning the bride and
groom, blessing, another hymn, and
benediction, in not rapid sucession.
Then Dr. Zavalette lifted his wife’3
veil from her face, and they went out.
But the end was not yet. The es
pecially invited ones returned to the
house for the reception and long pro
gram. For this, the bride changed her
dress and wore a lavender satin crepe,
and carried lavender flowers. At the
close of the program the groom made
a short talk of appreciation. Then
came refreshments.
The wedding gown and veil and re
ception dress were in perfect taste,
as lovely as any American girl could
desire, but the wearer had nothing to
do with the purchasing of them, or
of any of her trousseau. It is a Mexi
can custom for the man to buy all his
bride’s outfit. Imagine not selecting
one’s own wedding dress! In this par
ticular case, Dr. Zavaletta’s father
and sister went to Mexico City and
bought everything. The wedding is
managed entirely by the groom’s fam
ily, though the civil service and recep- j
tion are usually at the girl’s home.
As Vance’s little cousin, Pauline, j
was one of the train bearers, I let him I
go. He was very much disappointed '
to see her marching in bearing a train j
of white satin instead of an interest- S
ing locomotive. Otherwise he was very I
much pleased.
Best of wishes to each one of you, |
Most sincerely yours,
SAMMIE ASKEW MYERS,
(Mrs. Z. V. Myers.)
Any letter with two cents postage, I
addressed to Mrs. Z. V. Myers, at I
Zitacuaro, Michoacan, Mexico, will
reach in due course of mail.
