Luncheon Under the Auspices of

Unauthorized statements have been made
in regard to the Postmaster General and
Mrs. Gary's selection of their future resi-
dence in Washington.
That they have been, and are still, very
assiduously househunting is true; but that
their selection has been made is erroneous.
Several houses have been considered, but
have proven to be too small for the Post
master Generals large family, and the
guests they expect to entertain. That the
Garys Will take the lead socially among
the officials of The new Administration is
due not only TO their wealth. but to their
personal qualifications, though OF course
wealth is a necessary adjunct. Mrs. Gary
is a woman of the highest culture and
refinement, and her knowledge OF social
etiquette, her perfect tact and gracious
ness are the golden keys which will be
the open sesame To the doors of Wash
ington's most exclusive circles.
The three charming daughters, who will
he with the Postmaster General and Mrs.
Gary, in this city, are the Misses Lillian,
Jessie, and Madeline Gary: all of whom
are young omen of unusual attractiveness.
They are highly accomplished and possess
that most admirable quality of all, perfect
naturalness There is a decided family
resemblance between them, though each
has her distinctive features. Miss Lillian,
the eldest, is smaller and siGhter than
the others, and is also the prettiest OF the
three, though all are decidedly handsome.
Each has light hair and blue or gray
eyes, with wellmarked brows, and regular
features. Miss Jessie Gary Is the tallest. and
Miss Madeline, the debutante, is of medium
height When they are all settled in their
new home, wherever ii may be, 1t is
safe to predict that the Gary household
will he the most attractive in Washington.
