The few Spanish women who took law courses in national universities did not do so with the idea of fol- lowing as a luxury rather than the profession and even when they ob- tained the title of “letrado,” neglect- ed the career that was opened ‘to them. The situation is rapidly changing, however, and there are at present, throughout Spaln, numerous femi- nine law students who will soon be- come active members of the bar.

The audience which gathered at Kingsway Hall to hear the debate—between Gilbert K. Chesterton, and Lady Rhondda— were more tickled with the remarks of Shaw than in the actual debate. Formerly, Shaw said, woman had little leisure but nowadays that was | changed by the service in flats and residential hotels, and a woman “can spend her time drinking cock- tails, going to night clubs, dancing the Charleston and doing all the things many women seem to im- agine will fill their lives gloriousl He did not know whether Mr. Chesterton was going to defend the night clubs, but it was his opinion that if challenged to dance the Charleston with Lady Rhondda, Mr. Chesterton could not do it. Lady Rhondda, who heads the| list of high salaried British business women, declared that the existence| of the leisured woman co! grave menace to civiliz: “If we continue she said, “there evil may wreck civilization. The clothes women wear she de- scribed as invented only for the leis- ured class and “worn by the rest of us because the human animal is a herd animal.” Mr, Chesterton defended the ofd tradition that the woman of the home should remain at home and occupy herself with the tremendous business of bringing up children. “The home,” he said, “is the only place left where there is any liberty and individuality and any possibil- ity of human personalities counting as such.” Third Woman Lawyer Enters Spani-~ 3ar Madrid (UP)—Se; tilde Huici, the third man law- | He acted as chairman of a debate| Samuel P.
