(Secta; Secretary to the Wife of the
President.)
full vitality proved stimulus to her
natural ambition.
To-day, with an infinitely more
strenuous life to be lived, Belle Hagner
is as beautiful and as much society
favorite as formerly and, withal, she
performs the duties of secretary to
half a dozen women of fashion who
swear by her talents and advice.
Mrs. Marcus A. Hanna admits frank
" that she is the cleverest girl in
Washington, and Mrs. Dryden, wife of
the millionaire senator from New Jer-
sey, could never have reached the dizzy
heights of leadership in one brief sea-
son without Miss Hagner's guiding
genius. There is hardly a social aspi-
rant or climber up the official ladder
who would not sacrifice the half of her
wardrobe to be taken under the wing,
so to speak, of Isabelle Hagner.
To Mrs. Roosevelt she is well-nigh
indispensable, says the Washington
L
closest friends. At Mrs. Roosevelt's
private teas and musicales it is Miss
Hagner who is "the second in COM
mand." She presides over the tea
table and exercises great care that con-
flicting elements never tread upon each
others sensitive toes. She prevents
MANY a heartache by arranging the
white house lists of guests so that diff
ferent sets and cliques will dovetail
with social nicely. She knows every
one by name and rank and reputation,
and nothing seems like work to Miss
Hagner. She simply glories in the re-
sponsibility that rests upon her. and it
is her pride, apparently, to assist Mrs.
Roosevelt in making historically ia
nous the social record of this admins
tration.
els it not odd" people say, "that
Belle Hagner does not marry? With
her attractions and opportunities and
the attention she receives, one would
think"
It is not difficult to~imagine what
they think. but it is not odd at all that
she has not married. At present she
has everything-the social fruit that
does not have to be gathered, but sim
DIV falls into her clever hands-the
EMISSION in life," for which most Amer
lean girls are crying-a congenial
"raison d'etre,"a as the French say
and the sum of all this is nothing more
or less than game of absorbing inter-
est to a young woman of strength and
brain. The time for the matrimo nial
move has not yet arrived.
You will see Belle Hagner by nine
o'clock every morning walking in,.atty
tailor garments or little later shop
pir.g with Mrs. Roosevelt. By ~ she
has dispatch more business than any
two official clerks on Uncle Sans pay
roll. She has answered and sent out
Invitations. arranged menus. suggest
ed decorations for half a dozen busy
society women. At 1870 she is serene
quest at a smart luncheon, and from
four o'clock on she shakes hands in the
most exclusive drawing rooms. dimes
with famous people and attends re-
ceptions and balls.

been nominated for the fourth tina

The new Herreshoff creation cannot
be called an independence, so far as
the whole shape is concerned, but there
are elements in her hull, perhaps, strik-
