Who's Who in
Washington Society.

There Is the Army and Navy set, the
makeup OF which needs no explanation.
There is the "old Washington set
sometimes called the cave dwellers"-
representing old families long resident in
Washington.
Finally. there is the fashionable
crowd" composed wholly OF rich (mainly
new-rich) people and the hangers-on Of
the rich-plus the diplomats, who are
beloved by the rich because a certain
social prestige envelopes them, and who
seek the rich for the sake of being gor-
geously entertained and otherwise
amused.
The boundaries between set and set
are not absolutely and definitely fixed
they merge into one another TO some
extent Thus there are some members
OF Congress, few, who belong to the
fashionable crowd. But this is because
they have wealth and are willing to
entertain the circumstance that they are
in Congress (even though Senators) does
not help them materially in social way.
Many is the Congressman's wife who
comes to Washington with the confident
expectation Of being "high-fyer of fash
ion" at the capital, only to suffer bitter
disappointment.
The fashionable crowd is very new tas
at present constituted. and leaving the
diplomats out of question:, hut none the
less exclusive on that account. 1t has
been built up mainly by millionaire and
mult-millionaire people who. having dis.
covered the delights of Washington as a
place of Winter residence, have come

Most or them were nobodies, socially or
otherwise, generation back.
1t Will now be understood what the
conditions were as found by Mrs. Calf
when she first came to Washington as
the newly married wife of Norman Gait,
who at that time was the city's foremost
jewelry merchant owning with his
brother) the same shop on Pennsylvania
avenue that Is occupied to-day by the
business.

If you will turn the pages of the Social

not entitled to social position. His widow
could not obtain social recognition. cspc.
cially since 1t could not be denied that

But the magic touch OF the occupant Of

to punish the social leaders who ignored
her BY the distribution OF painful snubs?
That is what Washington is waiting to

curiously in the next generation. The

ficial SET because her husband held no
official position She had nothing to do
with the Army or Navy for a like rea-
son. She was impossible from the view
point of the fashionable crowd because
she had not money enough. Besides, she
was "in trade" which, particularly in the
eyes of the old Washington set, placed
her in the undesirable middle class, with
whom "one does not exchange visits"
In a word, Mrs. Norman Gait was "out
of 1t" entirely and hopelessly. Her posi-
ton was especially peculiar because, IL
she had come to Washington unmarried,
as Edith Boiling, descendant of one of
the very best families OF the Old Domin-
ion and related by cousinship to all the
really truly +. F. VS., she would have
been received as matter OF course and
with open arms by the most exclusive
and conservative "caye-dwellers" AS
q BRIDESMAIDS wife, however she was un.
acceptable.
Virginia people. to-day as in former
times, are arstocratic and exclusive.
But, since the civil war, and owing to
the loss Of wealth thereby caused, most
of them have been obliged to work for
living. In that State it is not account
ed infra-dig. to keep shop. Indeed
many scions OF the best and oldest fami
nj
end towns as clerks, and none the less is
thought of them on that account from
q social point of view.
In Washington 1t is different. Here
retail trade is not tolerated socially, if 1t
represents means OF livelihood for the
present and immediate generation. For
a past generation, even though it be the
one directly preceding, II is politely ig-
nored. Thus, for example, the Letters

Powhatan in those days was military
and civil governor Of what is now the
District of Columbia. But his lineal de-
scendant, Edith Boiling Calf, has not
found herself acceptable to the persons of
more or less dubious immediate ancestry
who largely compose the fashionable
society Of Washington at the present time
II proof OF this fact be wanted, look
at the Social Register of Washington.
Her name will not be found in it, as al
ready mentioned. Not only is Mrs. Gait
not of Washington's 400; she has not

the number of names included in the
