the eve of the departure of the
American delegation to the fifth
Pan American Congress. The
Secretary was not a delegate, but
he proposed to ''sit in" at some of
the sessions and was to have made
a rather comprehensive tours Of
South American republics. @
imagine his decision must
have been rather a relief to Mrs.
Hughes, for she had made up her
mind not, to accompany him If
he did go. She had rather q se-

couldn't bear to leave her little
daughter. Elizabeth, who has
progressed SO far toward conva-
lescense after her long illness.
