SPANISH etiquette.
Politeness to Servants and Even the
Street Begesrs,

From what we saw and from
what happened to us | made up a
page of Spanish etiquette. 1t is
probably not correct, but I offer it
as the result Of our experiences.
Other people may have had differ
ent impressions. If you are of the
| female sex never wear short skirt,
a sailor or English walking hat I'M
less you are willing to have people
stare at you and sometimes call
after you. If you have red hair dye
it or be prepared to be saluted as
''Rubia." Never bow to a man I'M
less he 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. "Will your grace
do me the favor to bring me my
coffee at 8 o'clock tomorrow ?"
would strike an American bellboy
with dismay But it is the literal
translation of the Spanish request.
Never tell beggar to clear out, but
say that you have left your purse at
home and that you will remember
him tomorrow or gently murmur
that God will reward him, whereat
he will smile, thank you and depart.
These same beggars, who spring.
up on every side, seem to have a
code of etiquette we could not faith
ON. After two or three days there
were a few who begged only from
me, two or three Others who be-
sought Jean. Evidently we were
understood to be the patrons of GER
tain beggars who out of a crowd of
mendicants were the only ones to
approach us who would take their
dole with thanks OF if we said ITO
morrow" would smilingly back
away Mt once.
A trip into Spain ought to mean
more than sketches of life as we
saw it in a single city. Yet it was
our pleasure to linger on in Mad.
rid, with the exception of three
days spent in Toledo and the Escu.
rial, for the whole of our two
months holiday, and to return di
rect to Paris without seeing any OF
the southern country, so beloved by
