thony is obdurate can fill the chair accept
ably. In the first place, Mrs. Gait has
been tested thoroughly, and Miss Anthony
thinks her organizing abilities are simply
wonderful. If she has executive ability in
proportion. her friends believe that she will
be second Miss Anthony. Mrs. Gait is a
beautiful woman, tall and slender and
graceful. a lover of rich attire. and with
the means to crafty all her artistic tastes.
She is western born, claiming Iowa as her
native state, and is happily married to Mr..
George A. Gait, vice president of, the New

She is noted housekeeper and a fine cook.

never been a pie baked in her house. She
has but one passion, and that is love for
her flowers. She finds among them her
only recreation. Mrs. Gait is that rare
thing among women an orator. Her voice
