YOUNG WOMEN WHO CHEAPEN MORALITY,

A VICAR'S WARNING.

The future of the morals and manners of young people lies for more with the young women than with the men, declared the Viear of Leeds, (the Rev. W. Thompson Elliott) in the course of an ad- dress in Leeds to young people on "Friends and Lovers."

Over 100 guests were present, among them being the Spanish Ambassador, the Duque de Alba, the Marques de Andia, the Mar Looking back upon 25 or 30 ques de Aycinena (Counsellor to years in which one had learned the Embassy), the Duque de Mir-the meaning and value of friend- anda (Mayordomo Mayor to the ship, he said, he could truly say Kir of Spain), M.

Spanish connexion.

..

M. Andres Moreno warmly wel- comed the King of Spain in the name of all the Spaniards and Englishmen present.

The King of Spain congratula- ted the Spanish Club on its re- organization, and said that its development was the result of the united efforts among Spaniards in London. He would talk of Spain, as he always tried to do on such occasions, in an endeavour to bring his listeners a remembrance of Spain. He recalled that this was the 25th anniversary of his accession to the throne of Spain, although he had actually been King from the day of his birth, 41 years ago. The years were beginning to tell, but his interest in all that appertained to the good of his country and country men remained unabated. Ideals were the only thing that led na

tions forward.

amuse-

Especially was this so of the friendship between man and wo- man, a girl and a young man— what was called "being in love."! The joy of this friendship was a richer one, but the responsibilities were greater.

Things have changed very much in this respect during the present generation, said the Vicar. We have practically got right away from that stolid, artificial and re- stricted convention which govern- ed the lives of our fathers and mothers when they were young, and, indeed, the lives of some of

When Things Go Wrong.

The young people have a far greater opportunity of associating with one another than was, the I think, case 25 years ago, and on the whole, it is an advantage. I am quite sure that that greater liberty will in the end develop a greater moral consciousness; but I am quite sure that we deluding ourselves if we think that we have already developed that higher moral consciousness.

This greater liberty is being paid for at the present time by the ruin that is befalling a certain number of people who are not able to use that liberty as, by-and-by, we hope it will be used.

He particularly wished to em- phasize the facts about the new Cindad Universitaria (University City, which was being built near Madrid in remembrance of his 25th anniversary as King. The centre would embody not only the Spanish tradition, but all that was best in modern science. In it they would welcome students not only from all parts of the Penin-

Union of Interests. The secret of success was union, and he was pleased that the Spanish Club in London realized that so well. From Spain he did I think there is nothing more not bring them promises, but news pathetic in all the things that go of accomplished facts.

Instinctive Chivalry.

The future of the morals and manners of young people lies far more with the young women than with the men. Let the young wa men demand that these matters be treated with the regard they should have, and they will be so treated; cheapen them and they will be so treated.

His Majesty then continued his speech in English as follows.

"And now let me Add a few words for our British friends. I am particularly glad to see them here today sitting among us Spaniards at the same table, for this happy association appears ty me as a symbol of the close con- nexion between our two nations, for which I have striven, as you well know, from my earliest years.
