the Spokane women who met her She
is interested in the trip and the re-

is taboo. She would prefer to talk of
her eastern home

ly in dark green silk. She wore a
white hat with black trimming ans
carried black and white feather boa.

which the candidate bowed. Then he
was whisked away by automobile to
the Davenport hotel.

crowd waiting. Mr.. Hughes agreed to
