For Mrs Jimmie Mcvickar is the sister
of Mrs. vanderbilt-Baker. the hostess on
that memorable occasion.
Mr.. Emerson, the Baltimore medicine
millionaire, is the father of two daughters
Margaret and Daisy. And Daisy, through
no fault of hers, has had unpleasant noto-
riety before.
When Daisy Emerson, the heroine, or
rather the victim, of the ducking In the
lake, chose her first husband 1t was
Southern man, Mr. T. Mitchell Horner, of
Atlanta, Georgia.
But Daisy and Jack Horner," as he
was called, had not been married long be-

there began the unpleasant publicity Of "a
suit for 100000 damages brought by Mr..
Horner against Mr.. and Mrs. Emerson.
father and mother of Daisy. This suit
alleged that Captain Emerson and his wife
had alienated Daisy's affections from him.
in due time Horner and Daisy we're di-
vorced and the forthcoming marriage Of
the young woman to Jimmie McViokar was
announced.
Mr.. McVickar is connected by marriage

Church in 1901. So. as Mrs. McVickar,
Daisy Emerson took position among the
Oldest and most exclusive members Of New

But Il was in 1909 that Mrs. McVickar
vas the victim of the most unpleasant no
.oriety, because she was mentioned in a
suit brought by her friend, Mrs. Cora L.
Hanson, to break the will of Mrs. Hanson's
late husband, Major J. Fletcher Hanson,
of Georgia.
Both Major and Mrs. Hanson had been
her warm personal friends for many years,

in their home In Macon, Georgia. Why
her friend Mrs Hanson, should drag her
name into her suit astonished and infuri.
