reported a letter from Airs. Flor

all Round Tables, in which Mrs.
Griswold spoke of the fine recep
tion at the state convention in El
Paso of the Brownsville Round
Table report.
Mrs. Griswold wished to know if
the Brownsville unit would like to
have the 1834 convention meeting
in Brownsville next April or May,
that San Antonio had offered to be
hostess, but that it was believed
the younger branch might have the
meeting. Mrs. Johnson asked the
members to think it over and be

their opinion. She spoke of the
great loss sustained by the Mexico
City Round Table in the death last
month of one of their honorary
life presidents, Mrs. Zelia Nuttall.
A Mexico City paper's account of
the Round Table mentioned the
fact that Mrs. Thistlethwaite, their
director, had read Brownsville's let
ter of condolence at a luncheon
meeting.
Mrs. Johnson read from "Excel
sior” of Mexico City in relation of
a meeting honoring the memory
of Mrs. Nuttall. held in the Prin
cipal Salon of Mexican Geograph
ical Society at the National Acad
emy of Scientists, with the Ameri
can Ambassador. Swedish and
Guatemalan ministers present, as
well as many Mexican gentlemen
of note.
Paper of Interest
The whole world loses by the
passing of this American woman,
famous as an archeologist, botan
1st, charming hostess and loyal
friend.
For various reasons, no member
could be ready with a program so
Col. Pedro Chapa filled the breach
by consenting to give a talk on
South America's great man, Simon
Bolivar.
As an introduction, the director
told of a little known anecdote of
a visit by Bolivar to Mexico when
at the age of 15 he was on his way
to study for more education. Then
the speaker for the day held his
audience with his extremely able
epitomy of the life of the great
liberator.
Col. Chapa's idealistic style, his
exceptional choice of words makes
anything he tells a pleasure to hit
hearers, but the subject matter
this time added even more to the
interest of his paper.
A rising vote of thanks was given
as the meeting adjourned until
July, when Mrs. Volney W. Taylor
will be leader of the program on
Cuba.
