Description

Vol. V No. 10 … The Cover: Most typical scene of the Latin Americas is the Marketplace. Some of the most colorful ones are to be found in Guatemala. Santiago Atitlan. Sloping down from a volcano to the shores of Lake Atitlan. Has one of the most unusual native markets. It is attended solely by women garbed in distinctive costume. Tall, majestic of carriage. They wear bright red skirts, white huipiles with tiny embroidered designs and halo like head dress of ten to twelve yards of colorful band tied into the hair and wrapped around the head. The men meanwhile sit around the central marketplace or on the steps of the ruins of the old colonial church. The lake, on whose shores lie several picturesque villages , has been compared to Como and Tahoe. The volcanoes which ring the lake furnish the natives with lave rock for the thatched-roof huts in which they live.
