The Misses Wilson Are Warmly
Welcomed by Young Set
at Teas and Dances.


Margaret Wilson, Miss Jessie
Wilson, and Miss Eleanor Will
son. were heralded to Washington
society as veritable bugaboos as to their
views on society, and the people of the
Capital are just now waking up to the
fact that they are not cloistered stu
dents of music, art, and literature, but
are just perfectly normal young college
women, with all the interest in society
which they show in every other feature
of life.
They were rather formally presented
to the social world at the beautiful re-
ception which John Barrett. director
general of the Pan-American Union,
gave at that building last week in honor
of the Secretary of State and Mrs.
Bryan, that they might meet the Latin
American diplomats. Miss Jessie Will
son and her elder sister both danced.
and enjoyed themselves in the most nor
NAL manner.
Friday, they were all three enter
tained at a luncheon at the Country
Club, and Friday night they went to the
dancing class at the Playhouse, to learn
some Of the newest steps.

at tea with Mrs. Wilson's secretary,
Miss Hatner, as hostess.
Tomorrow night they will be the
guests of Miss Elizabeth and Miss
Mary Howry, daughters of Judge
Charles B. Howry, at dinner dance at
the Chevy Chase club. Other events are
being constantly arranged for them and
their aunt, Mrs. Howe, and her charm
ing daughter, Mrs Cothran, until it
looks as though the Administration
would become quite as brilliant socially
as any ever known here.
Mrs. Wilson has accepted honorary
membership in the Congressional Club,
where the membership is composed of
the wives, daughters, and sisters of the
members OF Congress. Mrs. Taft and
Mrs. Roosevelt We're honorary members
