Courting a GHrl in Spain.
Courting in Spain is conducted
on prhyiples that might almost be
described as tini<;ue. The Spanish
girl of any attractions is almost al
ways attended by a young man who
is known as her novio. and who has
the privilege of squiring her on
her walks, although by a singular
nnomally no formal engagement
exists. So long as this state of
tilings continues the young lady
has to lie loyal and obedient toiler
gallant. lint hi* may cease his at
tentions at any time and openly
trnnsfer his attentions to some
other lady. Although tin* advan
tages of such a custom are all on
the side of the male, very few
Spanish girls would care to he
without a novio, however fickle.—
