"The elders are very kind to their children" says Mr. Hushman, "and I found that harshness or ill treatment of the little ones is very rare.

The Argintine women are very beautiful and dress very well and are extremely graceful and attractive. Family restrictions were more severe as regards young marriageable ladies then they now are. Considerable supervision was at one time exercised over the women although the marriage usuages are much less religious than in France, and the unions are more those of affection than of arr rangements. All in all, next to America, give me the Argintine for lovable, kindly folks." In "The Charge of the Gauchos" Mr. Bushman, whose Mesella was the outstanding character in "Ben Hur," plays the part of Belgrano.
