In addition te writing poetry Juanita albe did Hna.sniedJc sketching, She
la shown here en mmw iiicwaiimiB percn
shocked, lnitnteil. lilea.ed. They main
tained a sullen, Indignant silence, they
ImiKhed, they snickered, they whipercd
hysterically.
The moon moved six feet seven feet
eight feet ncre's the grent jeweled
bowl of the heavens, nnd the lips still
clung.
Had the bride fainted? She gave
no sign of life. ,Aml the young man
in that ridiculous ceNtnnie! llnd" he
'been strtiek solid like l.et'i peer wife?
Suddenly, however, the beautiful
"dead" sprang up. She urprised even
her husband. She almost bowled him
ever. She did tear away much of the
beflewered bier. Fer nn Instant the
lips were parted. Then Junniln, with a
vftettlrn nf InfinltA inv lliiliv liet nrillN
I about the neck of her "lily-white ' and
fastened her lips en lii ngnln.
The moon moved nine but what's the
tisp? In the end Juanita found herself
"alive" dgniii. According te their con
victions, the kiss of life had Helemnlred
their niuirlage 11s nn priest or justice
of the pence could. Hut there wn mm It
mere te this uncanny ceremony.
The brid exchanged her burlap bag
dress and covered her hare leas in a
long, shimmering costume of an Indian
1'ilneess, and her icd-liaired lever put
nts naming locks tlie leathered
plumes of n mighty chieftain, llnnd-und-hnntl
they walked away, cnrrylng
between them the grinning kull of the
vacied fnmilv cow.
They walked slowly te the feet of
, the stone nltnr erected by the bride's
I father .'ears hefme te tin unknown god.
Here several goats were sacrifiied. with-
out the knowledge of the S. 1'. V. A.
The flesh of the goats wjs barbecued,
and together with cakes made by the
bride's own fair hands, comprised the
wedding supper, te which nil spectators
had been imlted.
Denned Modern Garb
for Part of Ceremony
Here again the bride ehanged
dt ess for thnt of a twentieth century
fashleii-mndel, Jewelv glittered nt her
white neck, ertinge blossoms peeped from
her hair, en her fingers shone the huge
pe.iil which plighted "the troth whieli
ei owned her" with what she called,
"the white lilies of the answered
pttnrr." 'I he groom went luck te
flannels.
And the next day, they lueke fast en
plain ham nnd eggs! And within

In July of this year ttit sued for dl-
rerce. She said that he had n let of
unpaid bills, that he Insisted en getting
up at 7 o'clock In the morning whsn V
wanted te sleep till 10.
In addition te that, he" unccre.
monleusly left her. And just the ethsr
day, the decree of ceinpl te separation
was given her.
Hhe sits alone new. en the top of hsr
hill. Juann. the family horse, hid
te be sold, because .Titan didn't pre.
vide. .Tuante. the family goat, had
te be sold, because .luan didn't pro pre
vide. In despair, the luckless bride nf
the clouds sits, with her hare feet firm
ly plapted en solid earth, eating tn
indigo pepples that lull dcspalrer
smelling them, or whatever it is nsci
snry te de with them.
"I can only live in memory," sne
sighs. "My disillusion." shc BOb, nnd
she thinks long and silently about hr
disillusion. "In the mornings I wmiM
go Inte the garden and sound the Ietp
call, and at night 1 would mimic the
love-cooing of the dove, but Junn only
yawned. lie was cold se cold."
Juanita Is Queer, But
Then Se Was Her Dad
And there's little doubt that tn
bride of the cleudH will return te the
gods and the muses of her strange fnthr
again. And he wbh ii strange old boy.
