towards us as a nation.

A good-sized audience of young women were
we'll entertained last night at the Y. W. C. a.,
the occasion of talk by Augustus L. Mason on
1.-THE Spaniard" Mr. Mason went into an ex-
haustive history of the Spanish race and discussed
the peculiar characteristics of the naughty Dons.
He quoted from the opinions of dinerent writer's
on the question of Spain's decadence. Macaulay
said that SPANS troubles were due to bad gov
eminent. Some Protestant writer's have asserted
that SPANS difficulties may be laid at the door
of the Roman Catholic Church. Others have de-
clared that SPANS trouble lies in the fact that
her government has not been in the hands of the
people, The country has been ruled by few.
Mr. Mason does not believe these things are
responsible for the condition of the Spanish peo-
pie. He thinks Ii is due TO the Moorish influence
on the race hich prevailed for eight centuries.
From the year AZ to 1905 the Mohammedans ruled
in Spain To illustrate his point. Mr. Mason
supposing that the Turks invaded this country
conquered the people, reigned here for centuries
and were then driven out The influence of their
teachings would undoubtedly remain. In the
opinion of the speaker the spell of Moorish magic
is still potent on the unhappy people of Spain.
They are yet under the influence of an Arabian
enchantment.
