Machado, the only unmarried daugh-
ter of the president, has her own
court during these gala evenings, and
with. a group of friends, has supper
in one of the smaller dining rooms,
and often solo dancing may be enjoyed
there.
There is an air of large hospitality
about the presidents home in Cuba,
but one discordant note is that
whether visiting casually and after
the manner of the tourists who invade
the White House here during certain
hours or fortified with credentials
from the American embassy, the
stranger is met at the door by two
guards armed to the teeth, pistol on
one side plainly in view, an immense
dagger on the other. not to mention a
murderous looking stick in front.
These guards cling to the stranger,
walking behind or beside him, often
affably taking part in the conversa-
ton or explaining some finer point in
the embellishments of the rooms
These armed attendants are multiplied
on official occasions, and as they wear
plain blue denim for evening as well
as for street duty, they cannot be con-
sidered an essential part of the deco
rations. Another novel feature in the

home which the republic of Cuba pro-
vides for it's executive is a small but
exquisite chapel, glorious in gold and
hammered brass and bronze, with altar
and accessories seemingly taken from
some ancient shrine Of Spain. The
President of Cuba has a chaplain, and
he goes to the service in the Church
of the Merced opposite his palace only
on state occasions, and then with a
grand flourish, attended by outriders
and all his household, and there are
always popular manifestations to his
lofty rank. The palace occupies a
block of ground, and has a fine garden
which is part of the public parking
system and accessible at all hours to
the public. The largest and most
crowded market house in Havana is
right at the doors of the presidents
house. and the business streets crowd
it on every side save that which opens
on the Malecon or sea wall, where old
Morro and the fortress of the Cabanas
are in plain view. They are now
merely curiosities and historical mon
uments. though MORO serves in part
as a military academy but 1t is typical
Of Cuba to erect her splendid new pres
idential palace in full view of the old
dungeons and prisons where so many
of her illustrious sons languished and
where many died that their country
might be free.
