heart than warm reception in strange
land. Tho smallest favors seem the greatest
kindnosses. friendly feeling springs toward
the man who shows you friendship without
knowing you. We find these good souls every
where In all great cities there are circles that
receive lonely strangers with encouraging
smiles and warm grasp OF the hand There
is not n town In the world more gracious in this
respect than the good old city Of Madrid. Intel
ligence. elegance. and beauty. no matter from
what country they come. invariably find her
doors open. II you know how to please. how to
appreciate the hand that Is offered to you. you
are more than welcome. Spanish character. like
flowers warmed by the sun. opens softly In tho
warmth OF friendship. In Spain women are
good and men are honorable. Their faults
spring from national fermentation. from pow
erty. from lack Of employment. from an excess
OF imagination. from the necessities OF life. and
from an excessive love OF luxury; but the es-
eence OF their character. a rude Gothic vgor
combined with a Moorish effeminacy still re-
mains. Good nature Is truly Spanish. You
find warm welcome in every household.
Without knowing you. they invite you to dine.
Should you accept. you may be sure that you
will annoy nobody. Every Spaniard feels like
a feudal lord.
Paris is the Clrce who has tainted the old-f
ioned frankness and genial manners OF tho
Spaniards. BY initiating the French they have
lost their originality. and have not replaced it
with the inmitable ease and exquisite refine
ment Of Parsian life. As in the days OF Bol-
leau. nothing to-day is splendid that is not gcn-
uine. Tho foreign invasion is complete. You
must have French name to be modiste. and
an Italian name to be a singer. Shopping s
done only in foreign stores. and fashionable
watering places are those where Spanish is not
spoken. But the women OF Spain. born for
love. are not made for vice. Ennui, the great
tempter. poverty. and the desire for sight-see-
ing which devours Spanish women may throw
them into vice; but when they fall. they fall
into the arms OF lovers really loved.
Tho world is blotted out. The glorious sun
shuts his eyes and covers them with his great
blue cloak. Sometimes they awake TO reality
and weep. but they are SO thoroughly enmeshed
that they again return to dreamand. Although
they give themselves entirely to love- they are
chaste and proud toward those whom they do
not love. Vice is really repugnant to them. Pa
risian life. however. Is contagious. The women
who return from the French capital are giddy.
Mile Ghinazzi threw herself into q cage OF lions
to draw attention to her pretty Chinese face
Her example is powerful There are women in
Spain. lust as there are in Paris who 20 so far
as to employ men to perform the functions OF
a femme de chdntbre. This. however. is not
fashionable. In the streets. however. you see
only French signboards The very shop girls
tryto speak the language Of Racine. Women
with smattering Of the new language some-
times buy lace for velvet. and take what is
offered rather than allow II to be known that
