understood by anyone who
has ever had remodeling or
redecorating done-and it
wasn't until two or three
days ago that the Minister
and Nine. Samy got into
their new quarters. It just
wasn't possible to have
things ready for a big
party-so the dinner was
transferred to the May

months, but not lifted for six
months.
This period of national mourn
1ng-to digress a bit-has also
caused a postponement until May z
of the opening of the Ibero.Amer-
ican Exposition at Seville, Spain,
which was to have taken place
in March. Consequently Mrs.
Henry Wilder Keyes, who is to
"cover" this exposition as pre-
1ude to a series of articles for
Good Housekeeping on the Span
ish civilizations of South and Cen.
trail America, will not sail until
some weeks later than she had ex-
pected. The exposition has been
put off at least twice before be-
cause the Spaniards, who began
their preparations a dozen years
ago, were not willing to open in
the unfinished state which has
come to be expected in the case of
American eXpositions.
