"The characteristic clothes of the,
rural area of Brazil where the "gau-
chos" live is the only part of Brazil-
ian dress different from than that of
Americans," Mrs. Maria Pinto of
Brazil said in an interview yester-
day.
She said that the typical gaucho's
clothes consist of shirts and pants,
somewhat like English plus-fours,
and a large handkerchief worn a-
round the neck.
"They take care of the cattle in the
farms of the south. The "babiana"
clothes stylized by the Brazilian
movie star, Carmen Miranda, is used
only by Negro women in Babia state,
which is one of the states in Brazil,"
Mrs. Pinto said.
She said that in regard to amuse-
ments we have to consider the large
cities apart from the rural areas and
small villages.
In Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo,
Mrs. Pinto stated, we have the same
types of entertainment that are
found in the other large cities of the
world.
Mrs. Pinto added that the Kon-
gado, a primitive African public
dance, and the oxen run races, both
formerly common, are gradually dis-
appearing. The circus is the only
older. public amusement that re-
mains, and for the modern people in
Brazil the motion picture is the lead-
ing form of entertainment.
"Our people like sports also and
soccer is one of the most popular
centers of interest for the middle and
lower classes. The players are pro-
fessional and we have large stadiums,
some of them holding as many as
100,000 people," she stated.
Mrs. Pinto said that in the rural
areas they don't have entertainment
and that the farmer-tenants only
play a guitar, characteristic of that
area, and chant sad songs.
"There are no substantial differ-
ences between our food supplies as
Brazilians have all the food that
Americans have," she said. "The
food of the lower classes, however,
are influenced to a large extent by
economical and geographical fac-
tors."
Mrs. Pinto explained how different
foods are more widely used in differ-
ent sections of her country; meat in
the south, rice and beans in the cen-
the northwest coast.
"This discrimination applies only
to the lower classes as the middle and
high classes have a more varied
choice," Mrs. Pinto concluded.
