era Prfeta Wednesday, it is stated
ont on Montana street. in an impos-
ipe- residence numbered Ills, lives a
LITTLE Mexican woman, soft spoken and
diffident, who may some day be pre-
sfdino- over the social life of Mexico
CITY as the wife OF the president of
Mexico. She is Mrs. Venustiano Car
rama wife of "the first chief of the
CoDstitutionalist revolution"
George C. CarOthers, special repre
sentative Of the state department. has
returned from Aqua Prietas where he
held a conference with VenustianO
CarranZa. Mr. CarOthers was directed
bv the state department to see Car
rama, and left here Sunday morning
returning Tuesday morning. He saws
he is here awaiting orders from the
state department
ostentatious, Unassuming character
When a Herald man asked her how it
felt to be the wife of a man who has
become an international figure, she
smiled and with little gesture of
helpIessness placed the question in the
unanswered" category. Mrs. Carran-
"a is cordial and courteous to the
fullest degree. Natural and gentle. she
is full Of dignity, yet not so much as
to make the inquisitive caller i'll at
ease; she typifies the upper classes Of
her race.
She was dressed in the simplest of
black gowns Monday afternoon She
is not more than five feet tall and
weighs less than 100 pounds In her
face are lines of suffering.
st have not seen my husband for
nine months" said Mrs. ICarranza- 1--WE
have been separated all that time and
you can imagine with what joy I am
looking forward to our meeting in
Juarez soon. Of course, I know that
the revolution needs him. and am
willing to give him to it, but it is
hard to be separated nearly year at
a time"
with Mrs. Carranza are her two
daughters, Virginia and Julia. Both
are cOmely and accomplished. Both
speak English well, although the
mother does not use a word Of the
foreign tongue. A retinue of servants
and several relatives are also with the
family who came here from San An
tonic last Saturday.
Il do not care to express any views
on the political side Of the revoIu-
ton" Mrs Carranza said, except to
say that I know we are struggling for
what is right The revolution will
triumph-there is not the least doubt
Of that, but just how long it will take,
no one can say. The men who are
for it are fighting for the
people, not for themselves"
The house in which the "Constitu-
-ionalist" leaders family is living was
formerly occupied by W. c. Davis and
has been the scene Of many social af-
fairs for FL PasO's younger set When
Sen. Carranza arrives in Juarez. his
family will probably move to the Mex
can town.
