Girl Enjoys Excitement
OUer LindbeTyh-MO Engagement

Miss Lilita Dawson Is
Now Guest, Presum
ably, at u. S. Embass,
in Mexico City
On her return to the
Capital, a Washington girl,
Miss Lilita Dawson, will
probably be bubbling over
with interesting details about
the announcement of the
most thrilling engagement
of the day-Lindy's.
For it is probable that
Miss Dawson was a guest at
the U. S. Embassy at Mex
leo City when the "official "
news of the oft-rumored en-
gagement of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh and Miss Anne
Morrow, daughter of our
Ambassador to Mexico, was
given out.
With Her Brother
She went to Mexico several
weeks ago to visit her brother,
Allan Dawson, who is secretary
of the u. S. Embassy, and was
to visit the Morrows soon after
their return to Mexico City.
They had not yet arrived when
her last letters were written.
Allan Dawson is following in
the footsteps of his father in
choosing a diplomatic career,
the late Mr.. Dawson having
been long in our diplomatic ser
vice. His mother-and Miss
Dawson's-is Nine. Duval So
yez, a Brazilian by birth, but
resident of Washington for, 10,
these many years.
When Ambassador Morrow
was last in the United States,
Mr.. Dawson came with him and
visited his mother here. He
took his sister with him when
he returned to Mexico City.
The Morrow Girls
It is curious how little known
the Morrow girls arc in Washing
ton. but they have never visited
here-at least since their father
burst into political prominence.
Mr.. Morrow has been here quite
frequently, occasionally as White
House guest. and Mrs. Morrow
If memory serves-once or twice,
but not the girls.
There are three OF them, Eliza
beth, Anne and Constance, al
though the youngest seems to
have been overlooked a bit IN
writing of this interesting family.
However, the child has now come
in for bit of undeserved publicity,
for her picture was pretty gen.
orally printed in yesterdays news
papers under the caption " En-
gagged to Lindbergh." Constance
Morrow is described as having her
fathers quick intelligence and it
is prophesied that this youngster
she is but 15-will be heard
from later.
Anne Morrow, who is %, was
graduated from Smith College
last June. She took several
poetry prizes and is said to have
her gift for verse making from
her mother. The eldest girl,
Elizabeth Morrow. has been teach
ing in Englewood, N. j.. the home
of Ambassador and Mrs. Morrow.

 Pamela glanced around investi- gatingly and her eye fell upon the string of beads that she had flung from her moment before. They lay near at hand showing up plain- ly against the black velvet carpet that Panel had demanded when last her rooms were redecorated.
 She paid scant attention to them as she leaned over for better view of the floor. thinking someone might have dropped perfumed handkerchief there.
