SPANISH-( PEOPLE TO ENDORSE
REVOLUTION
Alcala Zambora is hoping that what
happened to George Henry recently
will happen to him on Sunday. For
some months past, in fact since the
April revolution, he has been prime
minister of Spain. On Sunday the
elections are to be held which, it is
everywhere expected, will confirm him
in, his position and give him and his
colleagues full authority to proceed
with Spain's new constitution. Broad-
ly speaking, there is just one issue
which the elections will decide. They
will either approive the revolution er
demand the restoration of the mon-
archy. It is to be remembered that
in his final manifesto Alfonso said:
"I renounce none of my rights. I am
waiting to learn the real expression
of the collective opinion of the public
and until the nation has spoken I de-
liberately suspend the exercise of the
royal power, and depart from Spain,
thus recognizing that she is the sole
mistress of her destinies." When the
palace halberdiers gave him the final
salute of "Viva el Rey," he replied,
"Viva Espana," thus suggesting that
he might have been on the point of
Becoming a republican.
But he nevertheless announced
that he considered himself King of
Spain, to which an anonymous
American wag retorted that this was
the limit in minority reports. The
fact remains that it was the result of
the municipal elections which caused
.Alfonso to leave the country and
brought about the proclamation of
the republic. The government which
has been in existence ever since has
been aptly called the dictatorship of
the aldermen. For since there was
Xao parliamentary government or par-
liamentary opposition, it fell to the
aldermen of Madrid, the capital, to
take charge of things when the peo-
ple surged into the public squares
and demanded that the king should
abdicate. The municipal govern-
ments of the country, as a matter of
fact, constitute about the only legal
government that has been in exist-
ence since April, for there was no par-
liament, no chamber of deputies,
merely a dictator acting with the
king's authority. When this authority
was removed there remained the
mayor, reeves, wardens, aldermen
and county councillors.
The voters on Sunday will have
the power to express the sovereign•
will of the people. But we have not
heard that there are any monarchist
candidates in the field. The choice
of the voters will be among various
shades of republicans, conservatives,
communists and socialists. It is un-
likely that in the new assembly which
will convene a few weeks hence there
will be a single man to rise and call
for the return of Alfonso. There will,
in fact. be no more evidence that
there is a popular demand that he
shall lead the nation than there was
on Wednesday that Sir Wm. Hearst
Should lead the Conservative party.
This is ensured not only by what is
believed to be the temper of the
Spanish people but by the fact that
the election machinery is in the
'hands of the Socialist -Republican
coalition which has established Zam-
ora. Moreover, if there should per-
sist any monarchist sentiment in the
Villages, it is likely to be engulfed
by the new redistribution measure
which for the first time gives the
larger towns and cities of Spain their
proper share of representation.
The old parties, the Liberals and
IConservativ'es, have been practically
dispersed. Their machinery is on
the junk heap with the monarchy.
Their members are looldng for new
political hones and they will natur-
ally divide between Republicans and
Socialists. There are those who
would try to establish a, Socialist
government after the pattern which
Ramsay MacDonald would no doubt
form' if the Labor party were in the
majority. There 'are others who
rather look to Russia for inspiration.
Probably something patterned upon
France will e the outcome. This
will be the important business of the
new chamber which will occupy most
of the Summer, The work done by
the provisional Coyerntnent will be
Formally approved, and finally Spain's
'first president is likely to be elected.
• Fn all probability he will be Manuel
jBartolome Cossio,. 'Profess'or of Edu-
Cation at the University of Madrid,
land one of the most famous educa-
tors in Spain. ,He is better known
Ito the outside world as the man who
brought to its atention the art of
Orem after it had remained forgotten
for ages.
But perhaps the most important
emblem that the•new 'Parliament will
`'have o settle is the relation Of
iChurch and State. The anti -clerical'
Ammemismismiel,
outbreak that -,accompanied the revo-
lution was practically the only vio-
lence that marked that extraordinary
national upheaval. There are those
who thought it representer the effort
of a Communist minority. But there
are others who say that for a long
time the Spanish people have been as
anti -clerical as they are anti -
monarchist. In their simple minds
the monarchy and the Church have
been almost identical. They know
well enough that the impulse that
overthrew the dictatorship did not
come from the church, but from the
universities, and the universities,
rightly or wrongly, have been long
suspected of extremely secularist not
to say agnostic leanings. It is in any
event taken for granted that the
disestablishment of the Church will
follow, and that all religions will be
put on an equality before the law.
AS THEY ARE AT HOME
Here is a picture of three ,women,
,he French, the German, and the Am-
erican.
To appreciate La Francaise to her
full worth you must see her in the
family circle. Such hospitality is not
commonly extended to foreigners in
France. That is why, outside her
own country, the Frenchwoman is so
widely misunderstood. Marriage in
France is a weighty undertaking. It
s an arranged affair and the laws
favor the married state. Marriage
gives a French girl dignity, and she
never forgets it. She prides herself
upon what she calls "mon interieur"
,—the fireside—less from the point of
view of luxury (French homes ar
seldom very comfortable) than of
management, her organizing skill. She
e, usually an excellent manager; Ma-
dame knows both hrewon
dame knows beth her own job and
hat of the servants as well. She is
lot easily imposed upon. She knows
how to buy well, whether it ik a hat
or a poulet a rotir. And she inostly
ontrives to look charming into the
bargain.
The Frenchwoman is a little cynical
about men. She is rarely under any
delusions about her husband. She
has a strong sense of duty toward
him as the breadwinner, but she also
•ealizes that to keep him she must re-
main attractive and keep him com-
ortable, too. The French wife invar-
ably keeps something in reserve from
her husband. She knows men; and
ets no man win her quite.
She is an admirable and sympa-
thetic mate; to her the husband takes
his worries; and he invariably re-
spects her and treats her with a de-
ightful courtesy. The French chil-
dren are seldom spoilt, although they
dominate the family circle. French
larents make friends with their chil-
lren, and take them on jaunts with
them, have them with them at meal
times. The most gadabout mother
would count it a shame to abandon
her ha'bies to the exclusive charge of
a nurse. With all hersterling quali-
ties, the French wife lo've's to relax.
to be gay, to show her smart flacks
at the races, to be admired. Her
husband will sit by and smile indul-
gently while his firends flirt outrage-
ously or carry on one of those inimit-
able French conversations in which
every snetence has a double meaning.
The Frenchwoman is not over -frivol-
ous; -she makes herself as pretty as
possible' merely because she knows
her husband likes her to be chic. And
there are probably more happy mar-
riages in France—in the smart set
too—than anywhere else in the world.
Now die Hausfrau. Ever since the
war a great gust of modernity has
gone sweeping across Germany.
Lumpy figures, "reform" costumes,
cotton stockings 'have vanished into
the Ewigkeit. The German woman of
to -day is slim, and well groomed, quite
up to her sisters of London, Paris, or
New York. Of course, the husbands
have to pay, for what a German al-
lowed his wife as a dress allowance
before the war would not keep her
to -day in bust bodices. But though
the modern German Hausfrau can
shake a cocktail and drive a ear, she
has remained firmly domesticated. Her
Mann, her children and her house are
still her major interests in life. It is
most surprising to find- the German
woman of to -day, improved out of all
recognition as to their personal ap-
pearance and charm, discussing the
same old subjects as in pre-war days,
their husbands and what their hus-
bands like to eat, their children, their
seeVamts, or lack of servants.
`The Gernrdnman, notwithstanding -
the invasion of long frocks and gos-
samer etAclrings, is still very much the
lord of ereettibn in the Fatherland.
This incidentally, is none of hie do-
ing; it is because the German woman

which. Germany has 1,-nown since the
war, however, the necessary of equip
'
ping the girls to earn their own living
instead 'of waiting patiently at home
for a husband has somewhat readjust-
ed the.'balance.
Rich and poor, whether she. goes out
to business or minds the home,: the
German married woman to -day is
still pre-eminently the Haus frau she
has always been. Wealth has nothr
ing to do with it; in all classes the
German wife takes an active pride in
her house and household possessions
and personally supervises the meals,
if she does not actually 'take a) hand'
in preparing them herself. The Ger-
mans are a highly strung race, and in
the German home the grownups are
apt to frown upon the clatter of
youngsters. As a rule it will be seen
that German children are kept strict-
ly in their place and noise is disap-
proved of. The duty of supervising
their health and upbringing falls
chiefly upon die Mutter: Papa has the
controlling voice in their education
and (perhaps the most noteworthy
feature of modern German life) their
physical training.
Finally, the American woman, Mod -
the regiment of woman. Herbert
ern America is the willing victim of
Hoover is President of the United
States; but woman is the queen. She
is the absolute autocrat of the home;
she sways legislation. The whole of
American life has adjusted itself to
this conception. Critics who have nev-
er visited the States impute this state
of affairs td the craven spirit of the
American male. But this is not a
matter of character, it is a national
attitude of mind. American life rests•s
upon the convention that the entire
male part of the population is in a
permanent posture of revehent adora-
tion before the female.
Whether the rule of women in the
United States is a fruit of American
liberty or whether it springs from an
eraticable tradition surviving from
pioneer days when the men outnum-
bered women by twenty to one, and,
amid the hardships and dangers of ex-
istence the safety of the women was
the men's unceasing care, is neither
here nor there. The fact is that mod-
ern America is a woman's country.
And 'another fact is that the discon-
tented wife has become one of the
clearly recognizable figures of the
American scene. Marriage is servi-
tude for the American man. He bows
his neck to the yoke gladly enough
(at any rate at first), but he is a
slave. His job is to earn; his wife's
to spend; and if life in modern Amer -
'ca is as standardized and monoton-
ous as her novelists represent it to
be it is because the American hus-
band works so hard that he does not
•know how to play. Anyone who
knows the Americans knows them to
be a nation of idealists, and knows
hat to represent the dollar as their
god is calumny. But in a country
virtually lacking in social castes mon-
ey becomes a criterion And the
habit of many American wives of
whipping their husbands • on to greater
efforts in business by pointing to the
more luxudious homes of their women
friends undoubtedly leads American
husbands to regard money lavished on
heir wives as part of the necessary
window-dressing.
The Latin girl is lovely in her teens
but withers early. Is there some-
hing in the American air that pro -
dues the same effect on American
women? The United States is the
and of exquisite young matrons, vi-
al, beautifully gowned and radiant
vith health and good spirits; but it
s also the land of prematurely aged
women in middle life, placid or rest-
ess according to their nature, but al-
most all vaguely dissatisfied if not
plainly bored. Life is very full for
he American woman. But she has
arge•ly to make her life for herself.
However happy her marriage, she
ees little ofher 'husband. At the
iterary functions—which are so pop-
ular in the States, at lunches and
ocktail parties, at the country club,
voman are mostly her companions.
Home life as it is understood in Eng -
and, is growing increasingly rare in
America. High .rents (and the Am-
erican will pay as much as a quarter
of his income in house rent as com-
pared with one-sixth or one-eighth
n England) and the dearth of dom-
estics are the principal contributary
causes.
The buffalo and the stork, as an
American humorist proclaims, are be-
coming extinct in America.
THE FIRST LADY OF ENGLAND
Gleaming silver hair, •clear tbluel
eyes, an exquisite complexion that
younger women often envy, a rich
deep voice. an air of graciousness,
quiet dignity, and friendly interest
combined—Her Majesty Queen Mary.
Standing before her golden throne at
court, occupying the chair of honor
at some great function, no woman
present is more brilliantly dazzling
than the Queen. ' Her tall regal form
and her natural bearing enhance her
gorgeous gown and magnificent jewels
so that all the (vivid pageantry of
State seems a fitting background for
her imperial figure.
But there is another aspect of the
Queen that only her family and her
intimate friends know: There is a
lady wearing a simply -made house,
dress of her favorite blue, her only
ornament a string of pearls that
were the King's wedding gift: A lady
contentedly sitting at her own fire-
side with some knitting or embroid-
ery. A practical mistress who really
understands the running of her own
ldtchens and who can discuss the
day's domestic work with intelligent
appreciation. A (charming hosrte,ss,
generous and sympathetic, delighted
to entertain her children and grand-
children aroundher board.
Famous artists have painted Queen
Mary in her robes of majesty with
the ribbon of the Garter across her
shoulder. Unfortunately they cannot
limn her when Princess Elizabeth
comes to tea and props up her fav-
orite dell at the table while 'Grand-
mother Queen" supplies an extra
pink and gold cup and inquires how
Geraldine has been behaving herself

STEWART BROS. SEAFORTH
of late.
The life of the first lady of the
British Empire is no leisurely one.
When the Court is at Buckingham
Palace eight o'clock every morning
sees the trim maid opening the silk
curtains is the Queen's room. Im-
mediately after breakfast the Queen
must go to her office, where her Sec-
retary, Sir Harry Verney, and her
lady-in-waiting are arranging the
day's correspondence, there are of-
ficial documents, invitations and noti-
fications of future functions, appeals
for charity, and a host of other
things- A•l1 receive her personal at-
tention and she dictates on what lines
she wishes each letter answered.
Then the Queen goes' to her boudoir,
where she receives the housekeeper
and gives instructions about the day's
meals and its work. Answering her
personal letters in her own round up-
right handwriting keeps her fully oc-
cupied until luncheon.
At half -past two one of the big
plum -colored Royal cars is waiting at
the door. Very probably the Queen
has some public engagement to fill,
a hospital to visit, a charity set-
tlement to inspeet, a bazaar or a
matinee to patronize. If not she
goes for a drive just the same. Fre-
qu@Aptly the car stops at sod private
picture gallery or a little antique shop
where the Queen goes inside, She
has always been deeply interested in
rtiques of every kind, and as a child
studied innumerable books about the
ancient arts and crafts. The Queen
has an instinctive understanding of
artistic coloring, which she attributes
to her Hungarian ancestress, the
Countess de Rhedey.
The perfectly 'balanced rooms of
the Royal residences. every treasure
displayed to individual advantage and
yet making an harmonious composite
picture, are all the personal work of
Her Majesty. At Buckingham Pal-
ace she has collected the more modern
of the Royal possessions. Even in
the State Apartment the golden fur-
niture is light and graceful. Par-
ticularly beautiful is the Queen's Blue
Chinese and Chippendale drawing
room, with its oriental 'bowls and
vases and the cabinets in Which are
kept the ivories and jades and small
china models of which she is an en-
thusiastic connoisseur.
In the imposing apartments of
Windsor Castle the Queen has been
able to indulge her taste for eight-
eenth -century arrangements. There
are Gainsboroughs and Reynolds on
the cream and gold walls of the draw=
ing room, which has inlaid Houle
tables and rare Georgian plates. In
the dining room are enormously elab-
orate pieces of Italian silver and fine
marbles and massive oak chairs.
The Queen's part in the work is not
limited to instruction and superintend-
ence. Confronted with an array, of
packing cases at ,with
Palace of Holy -
rood some years ago. Her Majesty
donned an apron and commenced to
lift out the contents herself. A fam-
ous statesman often describes how he
once called at 'Buckingham Palace
anr, being ushered into a reception
room, found the Queen at the top of
the ladders hanging old prints.
Modern flower pictures have an es-
pecial appeal for the Queen, since she
is herself an enthusiastic botanist
and gardener. At Sandringham she
often works among the terraced beds.
With a linen overall and stout gloves
she plants and weeds and trims her
shrubs in thoroughly practical fash-
ion.
Tea -time is a short oases of restin
the Queen's busy day. Sometimes
the, Duchess of York, or Princess
Mary, or one of the other Royal lad-
ies joins her, otherwise Her Majesty
picks up a novel and reads for half
an hour. She frankly admits her ap-
preciation of • well-written romantic
fiction and she also enjoys a good
travel book or a volume of those
homey little poems of everyday life.
Sonestimes, of course, the Queen
must entertain officially at tea -time,
in which case she goes to the white
and gold state drawing -room. It may
be necessary to welcome a foreign
;Royal lady or some other distinguish-
ed feminine visitor to London, or to
receive the womenfolk who have ac-
companied overseas delegates to an
important conference.
When the Queen goes to her room
to dress for dinner she always has
her daily consultation with her priv-
ate maid about her wardrobe. Eti-
quette forbids the Queen to do her
sown shopping personally, so patterns
and designs are sent to the Palace,
and when the Queen has made her
choice, her maid visits the dressmak-
er or the milliner or the famous West
End stores to give the necessary or-
ders.
Then, after dinner, the Queen goes
to the office once more, signs her let-
ters and peruses any official papers
'that have been laid out for her at-
tention. These include reports and
balance sheets and so forth of the
many charitable objects favored by
the Queen's interest. Her Majesty
never gives her patronage to any-
thing without first assuring herself
that it is thoroughly worthy in ever
way.
From nine till ten the Queen at
last .,finds leisure. Usually the King
joins her in the blue drawing -room
and they sit in easy chairs listening
to the wireless or the King°% portable
gramophone. Very often the Queen
crochets as the music is being p1 &1
though it does not serve to diStrikit
her attention. The Queen is eite -
ingly fond of music of eleeit desert*
tion.iin Chopin and Se1mbert n
of her favorite cornpteera, and to hear
a classical pianoforte ree1tal gi • '
her the keenest pleasure,
