HANCH LIFE.
How lbs Women While Away the Tiana,
.^iat a Desirable Existence.
The women often show the wear and tear
of their isolated portions, without compen
sating social interests, more than do the ineo,
who are surrounded by men interested in the
same pursuits. Love of luxurious clothing
aipounte to a pawtion in the women of all
elassrt. About their homes they go dreroed
as elegantly as if in the fashionable streets of
Han Francisco. Thu is the result of the wish
of husbands, sons and fathom for the visible
display of their wealth speedily shown. Too
burned to build tba-good burnt-.' which they
need, all rushing along the heated race course
that leads to sudden wealth, they deck their
women as means of establishing their claims
to social importance, uiui to <-ompenmate them
for the real hardships of their lonely lives
during much of the time. * *-«

The religious, educational and moral tone
-of the community is largely upheld by
’women, and a reverential bearing is adopted
toward tbein which is beautiful and very
gratifying, without doubt. The immense six©
of the ranches, however, tends to isolation,
and the maddening monotony of the life is
very trying to the moral stamina—one day is
much like anqtbcr for months during tho
