RISE OF OLD SOCIAL
sun SEEN in CAPITAL
Mrs. Galt's Appointment of
Miss E. w. Benham as Social
Secretary Rouses Discussion

WASHINGTON, oct. 8-washington
society today interpreted the naming Of
Miss Edith Wallace Benham, daughter
OF the late Rear Admiral Benham, as
social secretary at the White House as
meaning that when Mrs. Norman Gait
takes her position at mistress of the
White House the old, conservative branch
of society will again come into It's own.
Miss Benham has been acting as special
secretary of Mrs. Gait for the last month,
and her appointment to take charge of
the White House social affairs was at
the direct request of the Presidents
flancee. As secretary she will have
charge of the various receptions that
are to follow the wedding and will hnve
more than an ordinary influence in maxi
ing up the lists of those who will be
acceptable guests at such functions.
Miss Benham has been very closely
Identified with the older navy set, being
the daughter of a Rear Admiral and the
granddaughter of a commodore, and her
interests have not been close to the
younger political element in society.
The new secretary was at her post in
the White House today for the first time
and the preparations for the wedding
were transferred there from the Gait
home. All of Mrs. Galt's correspondence
will now be handled from there. thus re-
lieving a congestion that has required
the employment of two expert stenog-
raphers.
Mrs. Gait accompanied the President
and Miss Helen w. Bones to the theatre
again last night, this time occupying one
OF the stage boxes, where she was the
centre Of interest. She was garbed in a
very low cut gown Of pink satin, entirely
trimmed with lace and with bouquet of
rare orchids on her left shoulder.

Wards Delight Authorities at Insti-
tuition With Accomplishments

Katherine Frick and Grace Pearl, State
wards IN the Pennsylvania Institution for
the Deaf and Dumb at Mount Airy, have
found happiness Despite the fact that
they are both deaf and blind, the girls
have learned to use the sewing machine
and have become almost experts in needle
work and embroidery. Instructors at the
institution consider their accomplishments
most extraordinary and class their work
with some OF Miss Keller's rare accom-
plishments.
Undoubtedly the girls are happy. They
have found happiness Ia work. Both were
taught to make themselves understood,
and their eagerness TO learn through the
sense OF touch has made their progress
a delight to pupils and instructors alike
The Mount Airy school reports an un-
usually prosperous year. Receipts for the
year amounted TO 5000 Expenditures
were S1siOOO. OF the receipts S15OOOO came
from the state at the rate Of 800 for each
pupil.
