Text Appearing Before Image:
. The lower member of thewindow is composed in like manner of a combination of Ss. The partsare made by bending a pliable flat iron rod around a steel shape or moldfastened in a vise; the bending is done by hand, an expert workman turn-ing out the pieces bent to shape with facility and rapidity. En cada ticrra su uso—Every country has a way of its own—saidSancho Panza in accounting for the peculiarities of the houses in ElToboso. Havanas way has been determined by the Havana climate. Every-thing is arranged with reference to coolness. The thick walls and heavyroofs are to withstand the glare of the tropical sun; unglazed windowsare to admit the full inflow of every cooling draught. We need not behere long, even in midwinter, before we appreciate the good sense andwisdom of the Havana methods of house building. The open air life hashad a distinct effect upon the physique of the people. This has been asubject of frequent remark by travelers. The girls as well as the young HAVANA. 23
Text Appearing After Image:
TYPICAL HAVANA COLON XADES. men have rather narrow shoulders, noted William Cullen Bryant, butas they advance in life, the chest, in the v^omen particularly, seems to ex-pand from year to year, till it attains an amplitude by no means commonin our country. I fully believe that this efifect, and their general health,in spite of the inaction in which they spend their lives, is owing to thefree circulation of air through their apartments. 24 THE STANDARD GUIDE.
