CHAPTER XXIV.
IN THE NAME OF ALTRUISM In her apartments at the hotel the following morning Josephine St.
Auban looked over the journals of the day.

There were many columns of description of the only social event of the previous day thought worth extended mention.

The visitors from Hungary were lauded to the skies.

There did not lack many references to the similarity between the present struggles of the Hungarian people and those of our own earlier days.

A vast amount of rampant Americanism was crowded into all these matters.
[Illustration: She looked over the journals of the day.] Joined to this, there was considerable mention of the reappearance in Washington society of the beautiful Countess, Josephine St.
Auban, now discovered to have been originally a member of this Hungarian commission, and recently journeying in the western states of the republic.
