Spain

It is dangerous to attack the court favorites of King Alfonso. Father Calasanz, priest of a fashionable Madrid church, was imprisoned after preaching a sermon on the indecency of women's dress and directing his invective against an influential court lady, noted for her daring Parisian dresses.

At a meeting held in Madrid under the Marquesa Del Ter, president of the Union of Spanish Women, a motion was framed asking the Government to declare its policy toward the feminist movement. It was also stated that upon the Government's reply would depend the attitude of women at the approaching elections.

Women in Spain have no political rights, although it is a well-known fact that they have for a long time influenced the course of elections.
