stare at you and sometimes call
nfter you. II you have red hair dye

"Rubia." Never bow to a man I'M
less lie lifts his hat first. If you are
man you may dress as an English
man, an operate tenor or a chorus
singer from Carmen without excit-
ing remark. Never wear glasses.
If YOU are blind take a dog on a
string. When you sit down at the
table or arise always bow and say,
.Buenas." This is imperative. You
may jostle people without apology,
but never speak to any one without
saying ''your grace be- he noble,
friend or beggar. evil your grace
do me the favor to bring me my
coffee at . o'clock tomorrow ?"
would strike an American bellboy
with dismay. But it is the literal
translation Of the Spanish request.
Never tell a beggar to clear out. but
say that You have left your purse at
home and that you viii remember
him tomorrow or gently murmur
that God viii reward him, whereat
he will smile, thank YOU and depart.
These same beggars, who spring
up on every side. seem TO have a
