$} i4 Thursday, March 28, 1929 SPAIN IS PICTURESQUE, _ | BEAUTIFUL, FASCINATING | In fact oddly enough, she is everyâ€" ‘ $ thing she has been painted. To hurry | through Spain as I am doing is like ; , running through a large picture galâ€"~ . lery. Every mile is. a corridor in |â€" which you might well linger. The county _police . are garbed as g,entle-l men of Napoleon, the gesture with which that one throws back his cape | and puts his hand to his sword is | more than Napoleonic, it is royal.| The doorways, streets, each one-i beckons, all but commands. _ _‘ [ Traveling through Spain without | a word of Spanishâ€"not even able to | do more than guess that it is danâ€" gerous to lean out of the window has its humorous side. Two little ~Spaniards tried half; an hour yesâ€" ~terday on the train to ask me someâ€" thing, speaking. very loud and gutâ€" turally. Finally in despair I handed out my Frenchâ€"English dictionary and after half an hour more of comâ€" bined diligence they pointed to a word. I read "copyâ€"book." It finally transpired when they had resorted to the unjversal language of â€"signs ~that they. wondered if L would like some tea. . The connection between "copyâ€"book" and. "tea" was. obscure but feéaring apoplexy. I â€"didn‘t press the question. / ~ . is & Barcelona, my first ‘stop, is the 1 ~tuahe« af Spain" ~A bustling whirâ€" some tea. . Ine conn ucopy_boqk” and.

Not the conventional "Night in Spain" of the musical comedies, but |_ a far more interesting one which L watched at intervals from my balâ€" cony as from a box at the »play. ‘ During the evenmg all is moveâ€" ment, life, color, The Spaniards promenade endlessly on their bouleâ€" wards, talking incessantly their soft explosive language. As midnight comes and goes, life gradually thins | outâ€"on . the boulevards, _ and the smaller darker stréets gather it in. Directly across from my batcony is a tiny gambling place, set in a hole in the wall. â€"Here all â€"night long three or four men play their game. ~The clink of coins, the rattle of dice, a furious burst of language, silence again: Fewer and fewer people go | ~by, the taxis hoot along theâ€" streetst leaving the ‘silence trembling . as draperies in the wake of wind. One | of the gamblers turns away. To prove that it is Spain, in a voice of' _ purest melody, he breaks into_ a. ~song. The others join in, frequentâ€" ty, as if, under the director‘s baton, droning quickly away into silence and the sound of _thg'_coins. eP The stars are .bril a dying moon climbs the center of the sh goes . n_tgnotono{;sly $ and the sound Ol LNE CU°NCEâ€" The stars are brilhant.overheud.\ a dying moon climbs wearily toward the center of the sky. *The game goes monotonansly _ on.
