Cuts Out Social Secretary.
Washington, March 15.-The knell
of the society secretary has struck
Washington society. This heretofore
indispensable functionary of admin
istration appears to have become a
thing of the past in the democratic
renaissance.
This power behind the throne will
be found only in two or three cab
met homes. Mrs. Marshall, wife of
the vice president, has stated that
her social plans as formulated for
next winter will not warrant SO.
cial secretary. In contrast, Mrs. Sher-
man, wife of the late vice president,
had two social secretaries during
the busy season and managed TO
keep them occupied.
The social secretary corps in Wash
ington has included number of not
able society women who desired to
earn money in this manner. Among
them were Miss Laura Harlan, daugh-
ter of the late Justice Harlan; Miss
Alma Ruggles, daughter of the late
Admiral Ruggles: Miss Katherine
LettermaD, Mrs. Richard Wainwright,
Jr, formerly Miss Alice Bleck, and
Miss Helen Squires.
