1110 Spain like a swiftly moving picâ€" ture continues to rush by, of course from the point of view of knowing ‘the country it is execrable to rush through. like this, yet if one likes contrasts, pictures, vivid and strikâ€" ing, this method has its good points. From gay fowerâ€"filled Barcelona where it was spring to stern religâ€" ious Zaragoza whose very situation on its high tableâ€"land swept by icy winds reminds you that man is powâ€" erless before the will of God. * oN THROUGH SPAIN â€"â€"~Onâ€"in half a dayâ€"over that barâ€" ren brackish country which 'yields" little if anything at all to brilliantâ€" modern sophisticated Madrid with its wide streets, beautiful buildings â€"all that a capitol should have. Then two hours away Toledo clingâ€" ing to its rock hill, medigeval in aspect, surely unchanged since Cerâ€" vantes sat in one of these doorwa@ys or cafes and laughed at the world going by.â€" 4 r In Zaragoza, that "cradle ofâ€" the‘1 Iberian race" it was easy to rememâ€" ber also that one was in the center of the most religious district. of Spain. The cathedralâ€"though its interior is not beautiful because of the extravagant bacaqueâ€" was a scene of such animation as Iâ€"have never ‘seen. _ Women coming ‘in, way from work swathed to the eyes in woolen scarves, children on their way home from school. All pouring into the â€"cathedralâ€"asâ€"ifâ€"itâ€"were the most natural and most. necessary thing in the world. : Before the high alter mass is beâ€" ing held, carried on with that comâ€" bination of extreme formality and utter casualness which marks forâ€" eign services. Some people in atâ€" titudes of object worship, others moving about ‘and chatting pleasantâ€" ly, a man in robes and wig imporâ€" tantly opening gates and doors, priests â€" looking ‘about interestedly and humanly over" their spectacles, small boysâ€"small anywhere and inâ€" finitesimal in this vastnessâ€"carryâ€" ing huge silver candlesticks as casâ€" ually against their shoulders as if they were baseball bats. â€"All of it showing, not ‘irreverence, but lack of self consciousness in â€" religious things which are so natural and deep a part of their lives. â€"And over it all the droning of the mass=echoâ€" ing as if in canyons in these great aisles. i I have no space to tell of Madrid, except that for the usual tourist Madrid is the Prado. There are colâ€" lections of Velasquez, Murillo, Goya, El Greco, without seeing which you eannot hope to know these great masters. mc . Toledo as I have said, was most of zall Cervantes‘ town. In the shadow of the superb Cathedtal we sat in a.little lowâ€"ceilinged cafe in which he might have sat, sipping the country wine and eating omeâ€" lettes which we might have rolled down the hill as cartâ€"wheels intaad. F{ ESTHER GOULDS _ &TRAVE L,;:. : â€" CORNL R. .. The cathedral rightly called one â€"of theâ€"glories . of â€"Spain, is pure Gothic in style, its light grey stone pierced as with jewels by the winâ€" dows whose "lost art," though we try forever, we will probably never regain.
