CUBANENV0Y'S
WIFE KEEPS
A SECRET
DR.. and Nine. Ferrara to
Be in Havana for
Presidents Visit

WHO says a woman can't keep
w secret? Mime. Ferrara.
wife of the Ambassador Of Cuba,
Is one who can. For six months
she has known definitely and au.
thoritatively that President Cool
tdge was to go to Cuba to attend
: the Pan-American Conference in
January, but she never told .
soul until after the news had
been given out officially from the
White House.
1t happened this way: When
President Machado, of Cuba, came
to Washington last spring to ex.
tend an official invitation to Pres.
tdent Coolidge to address the con.
ference, the official answer was
that the Chief Executive of the
United States would like very
much to be present and would
make the trip to Havana IL his
uutles permitted. Naturally
enough he did not choose" to
commit himself so far in advance,
RUT Nine. Ferrara wanted very
much to know definitely. So
at the dinner given at the White
House for President Machado she
said to President Coolidge: ST
have a question l want very much
10 ask you, but, being a new.
conner to diplomacy, don't know
Wnetner 1t would be quite the
thing" 'Try me-" She did, and
70 the query, Are you really CO.
ing to Cuba in january" he re-
Piled, Yes" The usual Coolidge
economy in words, but certainly
explicit enough.
ATER Nine. Ferrara told Mrs.
~ Coolidge how delighted she
was that the President and the
First Lady wero to attend the
conference. "Are we?" Mrs. Cool.
idge replied. 'I didn't know IT."
which again is characteristic of
President Coolidge.
\ y
HE Ambassador of Cuba and
- Nine. Ferrara expect to be in
Havana while President and Mrs.
Coolidge are there, leaving here on
January 4 so as to be on hand
10 welcome the American delexa-
tion. Thew will be absent some
six or eight weeks.
Meanwhile thew are having a
