PRETTY GARNET LADIES.
The Daughter of the Secretary o
the Interior First

The Daughter of the Secretary of
the Interior First.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Among the
''Cabinet rOsebuds" who will blossom out
into society here this winter, the most at
tractive by far is Miss Jennie Lamar, the
eighteen -year-0ld daughter of the Secre-
tary Of the Interior. She is already
known in society, since she has been for
a year the chief social support OF her
widower father. She Is a typical South
ern beauty. Her form is somewhat tall,
1.-the and willOwy; her movements
particularly graceful, and her manner
marked by the peculiar high culture OBJ
servable in blue-blooded Southern la
dies. She has an oval face, almost per-
feet In contour, olive complexion, a pret-
ty rosebud mouth and velvety brown eyes, =,
which are wonderfully expressive. As "a
cOnverser she has few equals here, while
in the matter OF social tact those who have
been at her fathers receptions say that
she is like veteran society woman.
For the first time since Mr.. Lamar
came to Washington he has taken a whole
house, and proposes TO entertain this
winter on scale only below that of
Secretary Whitney. Whether he relies
only on his daughter as an assistant or
whether he expects to have wife at the
head of the house soon is not known for
certain. Anyhow he might well rely on
his lovely daughter, for she has all the
qualifications that 20 TO make up a leader
in society. The Secretary is said to be
very fond of Miss Jennie. She generally
accompanies him on his frequent
| horseback rides, and he never
looks so happy as when she is lean
ing on his arm. MIR. Lamar had seen
very little of his daughter before last win
hn ha W Ia fn ITnff
States Senate he placed her, then a little
| girl, under the care OF a relative who kept
a young ladies' seminary at oxford,
| Miss, and there she remained until he
| became a member OF President Cleve-
| lands Cabinet. Engaged In his duties
and dreams, he took little account OF the
child at home, so that when she came
here last winter to help her father in his
social duties he was immensely surprised
at and proud of her development into "a
lovely young woman.
1t is probable that the Secretary would
never have had thought of second
marriage venture, having such a beauti-
| full daughter, but for the fact tnat he saw
| she was not destined to remain with him
! long. From her first appearance here the
| young men have been chasing her among
angels and other supernatural beings,
and she has mad so many suitors that IL
hold out much longer. The Secretary
recognizes this fact-hence his turning
| towards life partner.
Mas Endicott, daughter of the Secretary
of War, will figure in society this winter
also. She is as different from Miss Lamar
as Massachusetts, Is different from Mis-.
sissippi. She is a Boston girl to the tips
| OF her fingers. While not pretty she has
an agreeable figure and face Of marked
intelligence. She has blonde hair aud
sometimes wears glasses. Her bearing
is proud, almost disdainiul apparently,
and her manners the acme of Boston cut
ture. You would likely find many like her
ON Beacon street, but few anywhere
else. Like most Of the highly cultured
girls OF the Hub she is serious,
has an expression Of intellectu-
alIty and likes to talk about
philosophy. She has written poetry, too
or, at least, verses. One Of her poems
was printed In the Chicago Current, and
some more, 1t is said, appeared in the
Springfield Republican. Miss Endicott,
with her calm, proud bearing, will un-
doubtedly attract attention in society,
but it is doubtful If she will be as we'll
liked as pretty Miss Lamar. Secretary
Mannng's daughter is another debutante.
She resembles a good looking country
girl and Is the picture OF health, with her
almost rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes.
She is little more than a schoolgirl yet,
and is as Jolly as one in the chewing gum
period. IL is not at all certain that ahe
could preside at her fathers receptions
with marked success, but, under the
training OF her pretty young stepmother,
she will soon be imbued with the social
graces. Mrs. Manning seems fond OF her
stepdaughter. They are always together
in drives and look like pair of loving
sisters. The girl calls Mrs. Manning
Mamma" although the name sounds
rather absurd as applied by her TO the
young wife OF the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
Miss Mollle Villas, daughter Of the Post
master General, will be in what is known
rs the "traDsition period" this season.
She is not old enough TO become a full
fledged debutante, still she will assist at
receptions and go through a course OF
training, as IL were, for next winter. She
is, after Miss Lamar, the prettiest Of the
cabinet TOsebuds." She is golden
haired blonde with a sunsbiny face and
great big blue eyes Of the kind that retain
Ine expression OF childish inno-
passed middle age. There Is one
more debutante, outside OF Cabi-
net circles, who will probably attract
more attention than those mentioned
above. This IL MISS Myra Christmas,
granddaughter and one OF the heirs OF the
late Mrs. Myra Clark Games, the famous
New Orleans litigant. Miss Christmas
will probably be the possess0r Of over
a million dollars in her own right by the
time she comes OF age, ana, as she is
pretty as well as rich, society will open
its arms very Wide indeed TO receive her.
sEe has just finished her studies and will,
It. is said, be brought out this winter by
the wife OF one OF the Louisiana Senator'S.
EDUCATIONAL INTELLIGENCE There was
an examination OF the graduating class OF the
u University OF Texas.
