LAND OF ROMANCE
Portugal Offers Many Induce
mentS to the Traveller.
Ancient Castles and Converts, Beau
tiful IN Ruin, Offer Never-End-
ing, Interesting Study.

For the traveller In Portugal not
many more days are richly filled with
interest than that on which he drives
or rides or walks from Leiria to Ba-
talha and Alcobaca, writes the Lon
don Morning Posts Lisbon correspond
ent. He sees Leiria's beautiful ruined
castle, built by King Dinis the splen-
die stretch of pine woods planted by
the same king, and the wonderful
Gothic churches Of Alcobaca, the Cis-
terician convent founded by Portugals
first king in the Twelfth century, and
Of Batalha, built near the battle field
Of Aljubarrota (1384) to commend.
rate the winning Of Portugal's indie
pendence.
At Alcobaca Is huge caldron left
by the retreating Spaniards after the
battle In which English archers took
part on the side of Portugal; at AL
cobaca, too, the beautifully carved
tomb Of Ines de Castro, murdered at
Coimgra in 1855 and brought to burial
here along league of road lined with
burning torches. But it Is Batalha
that has the most interesting memo
ries of Englishmen, and it Is thus of
happy augury for the future Of the
ancient alliance that Portugal's two
unknown soldiers are to be solemnly
buried there.
The victory of 1885 was won by
John l, master Of Avis, and his young
constable, Nuno Alvarez, whose boyish
ideals had been fired with tales of
Galahad and the Knights of the Round
Table. John / married the daughter
of John of Gaunt, ''time-honored Lam
caster; their tombs lie in the Found
er's chapel of Batalha church with
those of their sons. The motto of ore
of these half-Engllsh brothers, WHO
were King Edward the eloquent,
Prince Henry the navigator, Prince
John, master Of Santiago, Prince Fer
dinand the constant and Don Pedro,
Duke Of Coimbra, almost describes the
noble simplicity of the interior Of the
church: lie bein me plet."
Batalha was built on an English
model, begun by English workmen
called after Battle abbey tits full
name being st. Mary of Victory. The
pinnacles and finals Of the roof are
gray against the dark, pine-covered
hills, but the entrance door and the
main part Of the building are of stone,
originally white, and turned by time
and weather to r;ch> golden brown.
The unfinished chapels" are marvel
Of the later Manueline style, eloquent
Of glory and wealth achieved, whereas
the Gothic church tells of austere,
soaring aspiration. The whole build
ing has been skillfully restored dur
ing the last hundred years, but unfor-
tunately little of the fine old stained
glass remains.

French Professor Makes Prophecy
That May or May Net Cause Feel
inQs Of Alarm.

~
Old maids are going to rule the world
within another generation. and when
that happens all sensible men, looking
for happy existences. will try to fee
this earth and try out the planet Mars
This is the opinion OF Professor Cir
Quilt, probably the best-known French
authority In political economy, who
addresses his beliefs to the University
Of Poitiers.
"WOmen are going to assume lead
ership, particularly in Europe. for the
next hundred years." Professor circuit
says. "This does not mean that CIV
ilization Is becoming effeminate. nor
does 1t result simply from the fact that
women will be numerically stronger.
But there are too many women for the
marriageable males and hundreds OF
thousands of them are being compelled
to make ill-ass0rted marriages In
which the man, in nearly every case.
is the weaker partner.
"In that way women are gaining the
ascendency and 1t Is certainty that
any society ruled by women will lack
intellectual courage. logic and initia-
tive. Women married to men who are
their interiors will become embittered
with life. Their experience will dis
courage other women who are think
ing of marriage. Presently we will
find whole body Of women, with a
large and active majority of unmar-
ried women controlling things, and
men will have e very unhappy time"
