THE MANTILLA.
A4spanish Woman Auswers ths ou,

A Spanish Woman Answers the ouOs-
 ton, Why Do Ycu Wear .It?" The, writer sonce asked of a well known lady of the Spanish aristocracy who was seated in the box of the pres ident of a corrida in Madrid, ''Why do you wear a mantila?" and the fair duchess repIied: ''Because we all wear mantilla at a bullfight or at any truly Spanish function. It is the prop CT thing to do, and we do it."
 A little later as 1 Strolled among a group of aicionados I ventured to ask a woman of the people over whose head and shouldersawas also thrown a mantilla why all Spanish women. to whatever class they belonged. wore this natiouH headgear, if it may be called thus.
 This woman was sitting in the open air, and I was thinking that a large straw hat would have protected her better fFuinethe burning. rays of the sun and been quite as picturesque. She replied in that droning. warm tone so typical of the Spanish: "Well.l hap pened lo have often thought of this. and l think the reason why we all wear the nrantilla Is because we Span Ish women are most careful about our hair. We think the chief charms of E woman are hers eyes and her hair And sas you may see. we all have splentifd. thick lIstr6us hair. and we are suppesed-to have. many of us, fas- cinating eyes. Now. why should we hide our elaborately arranged hair .un- der bat Aitd conceal our eyes in the shade cast bS the brIn Of hat?g x z
 No doubt this wonian, was. right. Pa risian elegance to the Spanish women of the upper classes, may have it's at- fractions, but they. as their less fortu- nate compatriots. all agree that beau tiful hair and expressive eyes are more important. And both of these may be. cultivated. < London Mail.
