MRS. CALF SPENDS

Bride.EIect at Her Home Re-
ceives Visits From Init
mate Friends.

Mrs. Norman Gait, the White House
bride-elect, spent her first day today
as a figure in the public eye as quietly
and inconspicuously as she has spent
the rest of her life in Washington, at
her home, 1903 goth street northwest,
which is at the intersection of New
Hampshire avenue with Goth street,
just below the old Italian embassy, and
a few doors from the home of former
Secretary MetcaH of the Navy De-
partment in the administration of Col.
Roosevelt.
She was occupied most of the day in
receiving visits from intimate friends.
as well as telephone messages, special
delivery notes, kilograms and flowers.
Tonight there is to be family gath
ering of her relatives, of which she has
ia large number in Washington, a num-
Der of them identified with the BUSH
ness and civic life Of the capital.
Bride-Elect Declines Interview.
Mrs. Gait preferred not to be inter-
viewed today, when a representative
of The Star asked her for some of the
details of the romance which is so
greatly interesting the public at this
time, but she remarked that she would
have something of interest to tell "a
little later"
With the sweetest, most approach
able and democratic manner, Mrs. Gait
assured her would-be interviewer, with
the Tilt of happiness in her voice that
comes to all women at such time
as this, that she prefers to remain in
the background
Il am of no Importance" she said.
land the less the newspapers print
about me at this time, the more 1 will
appreciate their kindness, and so, am
sure, will the President"
Then she made her promise to an
nounce something later on, that Will
be, as she calls it, of Importance.
The voice of the bride-elect. by the
way, is in perfect harmony with her
smile, low, sweet and gentle. such as
one would expect from woman whose
characteristic expression is as great
a mark of her charm as her beauty of
feature and coloring. Mrs. Gait is of
the Irish type of beauty, with grayish-
blue eyes, very dark hair and the clear
white-and- pink coloring so often as
