her home at the legation. since 1925

Sonora de Izaguirre spent nearly all
last month in Spring Lake. N. j. She
had previously, with her children, made
a visit to Canada. She, like her hus-
band, speaks English very we'll and is
in her new home. Senior Izaguirre re-
ports through many letters received
from his home and from the papers,
that intense interest centers in the
November presidential elections and all
the characteristics of the two candi-
dates are as we'll known in that country
of Central America as in any State of
the Union. Senior Izaguirre, who
found an understanding of politics in
this Republic almost incomprehensible,
has since he has been studying in the
! local school begun to get distinct
notion of the difference between a
Democrat and Republican. Sonora
de Izaguirre has not been in robust
health since coming to Washington, but
| her Summer Sojourn in cooler climate
and her present home in the country
has greatly benefited her, and she will
mingle more freely in the social world
this coming season.

Now the trend is to eliminate the debu

and hold these events during the latt
Summer and early Fall in the countr!
homes of the prominent members o.

A reason for this change is seen II
the crowded condition of the winter

growing each year. Last season the lis,
of events far exceeded the time allotted

times half a dozen parties or dances In
a night to keep pace with the engage

There is no doubt that the new
method being adopted for debuts will
bring signs of relief from hundreds In
