The classic type seems better pre-
served among the ''chulas" of the low
er quarters of Madrid than among the
higher classes, and this is due TO the
fact that the ''chula" dresses in a way
that follows the fashions Of the past
Her shoes are made and her hair is ar
ranged in the Spanish manner, and
she wraps around her the MANILA
shawl embroidered with bright colors.
When the ladies of the aristocracy
bring out the mantilla during Holy
Week, the classic type shines forth
Immediately in all its genuine brilli-
ancy like a diamond in its setting. On
visiting Spain, every tourist of artistic
instincts laments the disappearance of
the mantilla. Formerly a hope re-
manned for him outside Holy Week,
namely, the bull fights. But even
from this last stronghold the mantilla
has been cast out by fashion. Now
adays the proper thing is TO go 10 the
bull fight in hats, the more exagger-
ated the better; and if the simple truth
must be told the right thing is not to
go to the bull fights at all, but TO pre-
fer the race course, with its ms
and outs of betting, its rivalry of os-
tentation in the rows of carriages, and
its exhibition of loud summer cos

which is the true Spanish taste, with

of "A bull fight, which the philan-
thropic propaganda has represented
to her rs similar TO those experienced
in the coliseum of old.-Fortnightly
