WE MAY BE PARDONED for remarking that we think the color pictures in this number of Sunset are particularly fine and especially the three pictures which pertain to New Mexico, the land of the turquoise sky. The frontispiece, one of the best examples of Maynard Dixon's painting of the colorful Southwest, is a reproduction of a canvas which has recently been a feature of two of the winter exhibitions in San Francisco.
The photographic studies of Indian life by Karl Moon were almost paintings when they went to W. H. Bull to be colored for reproduction. These art pages illustrate the curious and picturesque interest of New Mexico while the more sober pictures portray the practical wonders that are being wrought in a fertile desert by the application of water and intelligent labor.
The original of “The Lass o' the Lasso,” on this month's cover, is Nan Aspinwall,the girl who made a sensational horseback ride from San Francisco to New York last year and who won a championship this year for “fancy roping.” Of the West Western!-
