some merely for the summer: some, |
alas. for good. On the other hand
people whom everybody either knows
or knows all about have been pouring
into the city. some merely as transient
guests, others as more or less perma-

individual hosts, and the Mexican Am
bassador and Mime. Bonillas running

Don Candida Aguilar. Governor OF
Vera Cruz, son-in-law OF President
Carranza, and head of the mission
which Mexico Is sending to Paris to
see that she Is included In the League
of Nations, by all odds the busiest in

There have been weddings, weddings,

with the bride. Incidentally the dear
boys have been graduating just about
as numerously as the sweet girls, and
between them they have kept the
Cabinet Ministers almost as busy Of

brides have the ministers of the Gospel
oficiating at their weddings. Finally

ing month par excellence, but a most
engaging month as well.
Engagements are being announced,
and IN many instances the wedding
