THE HOMEN or SPAIN.
Fettered by Both Custom and Law, They
Lead Narrow lives.

The vast majority Of Spanish women
still believe that 1t Is degrading for a lady
to take up any work for which she is paid.
Therefore IL they do not marry they
either enter a convent OF live with a mem-
Der Of the family, and they do not at all
mind being dependent on the charity Of
friend or relatives.
Though marriages are often arran ged
without the consent Of the bride-elect,
law or custom gives the Spanish woman
the power Of appealing to q Magistrate
II she wishes to escape from a union
which is distasteful to her.
According to the Queen. the Magistrate
may take her from her fathers home
until she is Of age, while Il she determines
to marry a man OF whom her parents
disapprove she may also place herseif
under the protection Of the law. and she
cannot be deprived Of her share Of the
family estate.
On reaching her majority she enjoys
the same privileges a. her brother with
regard to property. and may inherit.
she reverts to the position Of 4 minor,
and her husband has entire control Of
all her possessions. which he can squan-
der without rendering any account to
her. though she cannot spend q penny Of
her own money without his consent.
He may desert her and her. children
without mourning any punishment or
much public condemnation. A Spanish
lady confers on her husband the titles
Of nobility and any privilege connected
Herewith she may possess At the time Of
her marriage.
Public opinion is istill 90 strongly OBJ
posed to their education that Il viii be a
long dime before they arc fitted to take
their share in their oountry's work. and
many women are 90 ignorant that they
their names. This Il especially the oass
in small country towne. At Madrid
schools have been opened for their In
s%truction, and the Glasses have been
conducted by excellent professors, but
comparatively few women hAve availed
themselves OF the privileges.
