As he was a darkly handsome chap, with a small moustache, red lips and a little flash of teeth, the effect was quite good, but I couldn't care for his style. The bulk of the villagers were dressed in white. The women all carried the rebosa, and were thickly powdered. We could see a number of the Americans in the background.
One not infrequently sees a mother carrying two infants at a time wrapped in her rebosa, and tied across her chest; only ten months of age separating the little creatures. Besides these infants the mother carries her burden of vegetables, fruit, baskets, or pottery, to dispose of in the market near the plaza.
"Rebosa," says I, earnest, drawing upon my display of knowledge concerning the feminine intuitions of reason "ain't there a young man in Piña a nice young man that you think a heap of?" "Yep," says Rebosa, nodding her pansies "Sure there is! What do you think! Gracious!" "Does he like you?" I asks. "How does he stand in the matter?" "Crazy," says Rebosa.
The flag was made of a Mexican rebosa or scarf of unbleached muslin about a yard in width and five feet long. To the bottom of this they sewed a strip of red flannel; in one corner they outlined a five-pointed star, and facing it a grizzly bear. These were filled in with red ink and under them in black letters were the words "California Republic."
I pray you rest your arm here," said Isabella Gonzales, as she offered her rebosa supported in part by her own person! "You are too kind-far too kind to me," said the wounded officer, faintly; for he was now really very weak from loss of blood and the pain of his wounds.
A bright-colored ribbon served for a sash, and a lace handkerchief or a muslin scarf was folded over the shoulders and neck. In place of bonnet and wrap a lace or silk shawl, or a narrow scarf called a rebosa, was gracefully draped over the head and shoulders.
"Rebosa," says I, earnest, drawing upon my display of knowledge concerning the feminine intuitions of reason "ain't there a young man in Pina a nice young man that you think a heap of?" "Yep," says Rebosa, nodding her pansies "Sure there is! What do you think! Gracious!" "Does he like you?" I asks. "How does he stand in the matter?" "Crazy," says Rebosa.
"Ma has to wet down the front steps to keep him from sitting there all the time. But I guess that'll be all over after to-night," she winds up with a sigh. "Rebosa," says I, "you don't really experience any of this adoration called love for old Mack, do you?" "Lord! no," says the girl, shaking her head. "I think he's as dry as a lava bed. The idea!" "Who is this young man that you like, Rebosa?"
The girl stepped immediately back from the bedside, as she observed these tokens, and droping the rebosa that had been heretofore confined, veil-like to the crown of her head, and partially screened her features, but she showed most unmistakable signs of delight, as she read in the soldier's eyes that reason had once more returned to her throne, and that Lorenzo Bezan was once more rational.
Morning mass is over, and bonnetless women of low and high degree are returning to their homes; some wearing mantillas of satin, black and shining as their raven hair, which are pinned by a jeweled pin upon the top of their heads; others, more modern in their tastes, sport India shawls; while the common class still cling to the "rebosa," which they so ingeniously twirl around their heads and chests as to include in its narrow folds their arms, and all above the waist except the face.
