| characteristics of the Women of Catalonia
Easy and Bright.
In Catalina you are constantly re-
minded, among the women, of the
comely type of Provence. Straight,
well-balanced women, with bright,
eager glances, SO different from the
other Spaniards of their sex; not beau
tiful, but alert. easy of carriage,
healthy, and blithful workers, and at
times surprisingly free of the noticea-
bic degradation of the mouth, which is
characteristic of people in decay.
Not SO attractive as the pleasant
Provencale, of surety, butwith some
thing of her square brow and look of
diminished Roman.
The men are rougher and palmer,
and, while both sexes gesticulate and
are voluable enough, they possess as
little of true Provencal effervescense as
they do of Castillian courtesy and
charm. Good nature the women offer
as apology for brains, but the middle
and lower class male is frankly ex-
ecrable.
The very dialect he speaks and writes
is so hideous to the sight and ear that
there is fear of the foreigner approach
ing him with prejudice. Just SO suave
and beautiful is the language of
Castillo, composed of the most musical
vocables, and hardly less harmonious
on the printed page than in the ed
ucated mouth. Just SO harsh and bar
barrie is this dialect of Catalonia.
1t is not, l think, improbable that
the sound of the speech we habitually
utter may be guiding influence upon
our manners. ! offer this as an ex-
PLANTATION of the politeness of the
French and the courteous Tuscans,
and the dignity of the Castillians, who
speak, one a graceful, the other a
sweet. and the last noble language.
