GUC4allAs tue lACQUliUE aNH4hlSNEa-
ton will satisfy the most exaeting de.
mands, both Governor-elect and Mrs.
Goldsborough being prominent in the
social life Of the Eastern Shore, al
though both care more for the quiet of
their home. surrounded by friends.
The Governor-eleet and Mrs. Colds
borough belong to the oldest families
of that section Of the State, which is
noted tor its old families. Mr.. Colds
borough is the son of Rear-Admiral
NJ. Worthington Goldsborough, U. S.
N, retired, who was chief pay direc-
tor Of the navy.
The Goldsborough family traces its
ancestry back to Nicholas Golisbor-
ough, who came to Maryland from
England in the middle of the seven
teenth century and settled in Kent Is
land. From the same family came
Governor Charles Goldsborough, who
was the chief executive of Maryland
early in the last century, and through
the numerous branches Of the family
the Governor-elect is related TO nearly
every family Of prom inence on the
Eastern Shore.
| Mr.. Goldsborough has three brothers,
DR.. Brice W. Goldsborough, who is at
the head of the Cambridge hospital DR..
/ Martin W. Goldsborough, a practicing
/ physician of Princess Anne, Somerset
county, and McGil Il. Goldsborough,
paymaster in the navy. Eight years
/ ago the Governor-elect, then State s
| Attorney of Dorchester county, went
accounting in the neighboring county
of Worcester. The lady of his choice
was Miss Ellen Showell, daughter of
William Shovel. Mr.. Showell lived
az Langmede, the ancestral home, six
miles from Berlin. Her proud boast
today is that she was country girl
by inheritance, she was a Democrat
and her family expressed regret that
so likable fellow as young Colds
borough should be Republican.
This failing" has been overlooked
long ago, and among the letters of
congratulations that have been received
was one in which it was said: "For
the first time the whole Showell fam
lily voted the Republican ticket"
Since her marriage and residence in
Cambridge, Mrs. Goldsborough has
entered into the social life of the
town. Together with Mrs. William
Grome Dawson she started the Wo-
mems Club, a social organization of
Cambridge. She was its first presi-
dAnt and has always taken an active
interest in its affairs. She is also
member of a bridge whist club
and is said by her friends to be a
skilled player. Though not neglectful
of her social duties, Mrs. Colds
borough is essentially a lover of
her home. r.
Domestic in her taste, she loves
nothing so we'll as to be in her own
home surrounded by her friends, and
they are legion. She is active in
every movement for the good of her
own town or the benefit of it's people.
She is distinguished for her unfailing
courtesy and kindness to all with
whom she comes in contact The
Goldsborough home is noted even in
Cambridge, where everyone is hospit-
able, for its hospitality. It's doors
are never osed, and it has been the
custom there for many years to drop
in" at any time on the Goldsboroughs.
There is delightful informality
about the social life of Cambridge.
Formal affairs are almost unknown,
no place showing that better than at
Mrs. Goldsborough's. She promises
to introduce home customs in the
Executive Mansion, where they plan
to live during the greater part of
the year. All friends will be well
come to drop in" in the good old
Dorchester fashion.
Besides himself and wife Governor
elect Goldsborough's family consists
of two sons, Phillips Lee, Jr., and
Brice w. Goldsbcrough and Mrs.
Goldsborough's mother, Mrs. William
Shovel. In social affairs at the Exec
uive Mansion, Mrs. Goldsborough will
be assisted by her niece, Miss Eta
Goldsborough, daughter of DR.. Brice
w. Goldsborough.
Phillips Lee, Jr., is ii years old
and student at the Tome Institute,
Port Deposit, Nd Brice is years old.
He has been so excited that he has
scarcely eaten or slept for a week.
Thoughts of the new home in Annap-
oils are constantly before Brice. He
closely questioned everyone today as to
what kind of house the Executive
Mansion was, how many rooms it con-
tanned, whether it was twice as
large as his present home, and if it
were on the water. Marylanders can
look forward to a social reign at the
Executive Mansion that will uphold
tradition of the past While prob
ably not so elaborate as was the case
in some administrations, it will be in
accordance with Maryland famed
hospitality. -Baltimore Sun.
