Princess Ear enters, to-day a wonderful country of which she is soon to become Queen. Prosaic works on geography call it Spain. History tells us that it is the land of yesterday, full of glorious tenditions, and famous in great painters, portu, soldiers. "Bot those of no who love it, and have explored ke quaiot, old-world cities, and have mixed with its county people, know it as the land of to-morrow, whare the sun shines, where even lhd poor are happy, and where the strepnová'life'is not. *...
Its contrasts and anomalies are great.---The ' Puerta del Sol in Madrid is Piccadilly-circus, the Place de la Concords and Unterden Lindon all rolled into one. The great sidewalks are
crowded with merchants, society men and wo- nen, clerks, studenis, peasants, match-sellers, soldiers, civil guards, dandier, and beggars, all jostling each other as they promenade, read the papers, discuss, politics, maka-love, and gossip. A bewildering array of canịsgos de- hotiches from the punerous streets converging on the square; a regiment, with baod playing, " marches past; ragamußios rate by with the latest newspaper; porters labour along unders loads, mules and donkeys, gaily copatisoned, appear here and there; while the clunging of the officers' scabbards, the sounds of guitars, and the cries of street-sellers complete the hubbub.
COSTUMES AND CONTRAST. A few paces away, in the middle of the day, stretched full length on the pavement, may be seen workmen and porters indulging in the national siesta. Every bench has an occupant sleeping away an hour or two, the sun beating down upon them all, as, for the time being, all !^ 'things are consigned to "masana "-to-morrow."
A smirtequippage, which would not disgrace... Long-acre itself, goes by, its occupants dressed in the latest Paris frocks. It passes on its way herd of goats, wandering peacefully through the streets to be milked at the door of any who care to buy.
At night a "caballero" will pa91, muffled to the cars in a graceful Spanish capa," the tip of his nose and the bright end of his, cigaretės |alone visible. But surmounting the whole is a
hideous latler-day bowler!
One goes to the opera in twentieth century'

On returning hêms, however, oner is plunged into the sixteenth century at ronco,..." for the owner of the house claps his hands, a... - #sereno," or night watchman, appears in long cloak and girdle, produces' a bundle of keys, and opens the door that we may enter.
In love-making and the art of complimen; the Spaniards remain true to oid customs. In Andalusia, whose lovely women," are so thoroughly fitted to suggest the idea of, abduc»,^ ios," a man will step off the pavement at the approach of a handsome lady, and exclaim. nloud, "The Lord bless the mother of such beauty!" and the lady, appreciating the com pliment, will thank him and pass on,
To stare at a pretty girl in the street is politeness of a high order, and ball whispered exclamations as to the beauty of her eyes, thie grace of her carriage, or the symmetry of har waist, ars received as only due.
THE PRIVILEGED SENORITA.
not so very long since many fathers' objected to their daughters learning to read and write on the ground that they would, then be able to decipher the love-tellers sent to them by unknown admirers, But the number of little notes that may be seen' dropped: by dainty hands from dark balconies indicate that this parental severity has now been relaxed.
Those who imagine the senorita to be so much, under the control of her family, will be surprised to learn that legally sho i ahead of her English sister, for, should' she fix her choice on a man whom bar father forbids her to marry, she may go 10 magistrate and claim his protec.. tion and assistance to carry out her desire. The sight of the chief magistrate arriving in state at the stern lather's door and demanding the daughter that he may give her over to the · husband of her own choosing is justructive. to oan who imagines that all is backward in Spain.
One has not far to go to find the Spain of popular repute. The gaily attired terem, the picturesque muletes, the flaunting Carmens and Paquitas in bright-colored petticoats and shawls, rose in hair, may be seen to-day just as we represent them in a comic-opera scene oz the stage at home.
Amid vast palaces, stately cathedrals, medite vat houses and modern dwellings, customs centuries old are observed side by side with innovations of yesterday. Young bucks about town will club together to run a swagger' turn- out on the Prado, and will return home to partake of the national "pachers,” in which figures so promiseslly the garbanzos, which ti has been described as "a pea which,' în its- ambition to become a bean, his succeeded. only too well. Similar instances of the up-to- date and the old-time in close juxtaposition are met with constantly.
MANNER'S MAKETH MAN.......
The beggars, "the aristocratic democracy," with their grandiloqrent air, and almost fierca') importunity, cause no little surprise and coo cern to the new-comer. A brusque, answer or a slighting word will bring down a torrent of abuse, and they will bang on like limpets to a rock. But, strangely enough, a polile word or request to be excused from giving the sought. for alms will invariably have the effect of send ing them away, apparently satisfied,
