Yes we had quite time convincing the
committee that waited upon us that Mexico
and New Mexico are not the same. My
friend got quite scared at their pertinacl'y
and was sure we would be made unlted
States citizens I'm spite Of ourselves II sc
did not run right away but l finally per-
suaded him to see the affair through
The three Of us had nice little inter-
national laugh then the Ambassador con-
tinued:
Il met Or. Shaw at the close of the con-
vention. He was greatly excited rhd In
formed me that it was his first experience
Of the kind"

the description you gave Of one that brought
me here" pursued my inquiry. DO you
mean to say that you could describe an
event so eloquently without having wit

"AlI hearsay," he commented, "all hear

I managed 10 insert here my stock ques-
ton concerning Our American writers:
DO you read any of the new literature
that is produced in this country"
but your political writings"
didn't think until I got home that I
might have asked II that was criticism

me TO be rather Machiavellian as I look
back.
At this moment the door opened, Just a
crack. and I had the vision OF charming

Of a positive order. the ambassador resumes
his aforetime apologies.
This time they are given however, rather
nonchalantly and with quite lack of the
embarrassment which had marked the for

look he exchanges seems TO imply: Il am
giving these just to appease madame, but

When the last explaining murnur has
died away and the door is ultimately closed,
