MR. MATTHEW ELTING HANNA.
Has charge of Mexican affairs in the State Department of Washington. “Joe,” as he is known to all his friends in Mexico City, was formerly First Secretary of the American Embassy. He is a hard worker, a genial host and a welcome guest and is greatly missed in the Capital.

MR. OSCAR MAXON.
Maxy is the wittiest American in Mexico City. Probably he would be called in his own home town “a wealthy and prominent realtor.” He collects many beautiful things and is always willing to open his packing cases to show them to genuine lovers of antiques.
