PREFACE

"Contigo Pan y Cebolla," a prose comedy of the lightest sort, affords a pleasant and attractive glimpse of certain phases of Spanish life and thought. Manuel Eduardo de Gorostiza is said to have written the play in order to cure his daughter Luisa of her infatuation for a worthy but impecunious suitor; but in addition to this motive his purpose is obviously to entertain.
