loose raiment and few other creature COM
forts are the best equipment for the most en-
joyable Of adventures, travel by way Of reading.
Here Is an invitation-one Of the best-to
see Spain, coming up from Morocco as a sort
OF open door through which centuries ago the
MoorS themselves moved to dominate Spain
to impregnate it with Moorish thought and
Moorish art. Through this wide gate Of illumi-
nation Mr. Newman leads the traveller, and the
reader, into the country of so many contra
dictions, into a land of natural beauty, where
the people are gracious and kind and good to
look upon. The book traveller Is provided, as
you know long before this, with the bounty
OF the Newman pictures, setting out mountain
and plain, people at their work and at their
play, great monuments Of art in cathedral and
street and plaza There Is q chapter on art
itself, the art of Valesquez, Of FL Greco, Mu-
rillo. Goya-a admirably informing in concrete
effects OF reproduced paintings. A whole chap
ter Is given to the Museo del Prado, repository
Of much that is inestimably rich and rare
On the way into Spain we catch view Of
the Basque country, so fascinating In it's old
history and in its new outlook. Toledo Madrid,
Seville, Barcelona-these each individual and
characteristic, pass our way, or we pass their
way, in a vivid partaking Of their separate
appearance and personality. Being of the
business breed of the world, we see the turning
Of Spain from old things to new ones. We
see the enterprise and activity and progress
A fine adventure-let me assure you. And now
we turn of the light and 80, to bed" in
phrase Of our beloved old diarist Of shady and
engaging ways.
