When President Castro OF Venezuela
married, and before he made himself
president. Nine. Castro was simple
country girl. Venezuela was therefore
much surprised to see her take her place
as the wife Of the president in Mirafores,
the palace, with such ease and grace as
to make her at once charming and de-
lightful occupant of that high position
Her people worship her, and well they
may, for in her they find a friend who is
always ready and waiting to help them in
their times of sorrow and depression.
President Castro has very little time for
purely social functions Therefore he is
only at infrequent intervals seen in COM
pany with his charming wife. She is al
ways attended by her private secretary,
Banet de Nazaris, who acts as her in
terpreter, for Nine. Castro speaks no Ian
guage but her own soft Spanish. This
she does in such a sweet and unaffected
manner that one listens to every word
and cannot help smiling with delight at
her bright little upturned face Like the
president, she is short and dark. Her
eyes are large and dark, and her whole
expression is almost child like in its SIM
plicity. She is now about % years old.
She dresses extremely WELL and her
Jewels are exquisite. was fortunate in

she said to her interpreter: 1.-THE seno-

when she Is about to leave me, she talks
so much. Why is that?'' She did not
understand that had said ever word I
