Head of JeweIry Store Started
As Messenger so Years Ago
William H. Wright
Honored at Dinner
Porty Lost Night

just a half century ago yesterday
Gait & Bros. Inc, sent a request
to Western Union for a messenger
boy to run errands during their
Christmas season. That errand boy
is now president of the jewelry COM
pany.
William H. Wright, whose 50th
anniversary with the company was
celebrated at a dinner party at the
Madrillon last night, had just
turned 13 when he came to the
store.
While still in his teens he became
buyer and salesman and, before he
was 80, was promoted to assistant
manager. He became manager Of
the store in 1923 and in 1894 he
organized a stock company COM
posed of employees and bought the
store and fixtures from Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, who had inherited 1t
from her first husband, Norman
Gait. 1t was established by the Galts
in 1887.
In the course of his half century
with the company, Mr.. Wright has
become a recognized authority on
gems. He can tell, just by looking
at his favorite stone. the diamond,
how fine it is, even before he puts
it under the diamondscope. The
Hope Diamond is among the pre-
ciouS stones he has handled.
Although he has spent most Of
his life around jewels and loves
working with them, he wears very
little jewelry himself. He has re-
fused, however, to follow the male
trend toward button cuffs, prefer
ring always his initiated green gold
cuff links. On state occasions he
wears q pearl and diamond scarf
pin.
While he enjoys spending long
hours with his diamonds, matching
and appraising them with pains
taking care, he also has a warm
spot for pigeon-blood rubies and
Oriental sapphires and loves to
point out the delicate silk lines in
the finest of them.
He's never been abroad, never
been to the diamond fields, but he
can tell you each step in the his
tory of a diamond from its grubby
beginnings to its radiant resting
place on milady's hand
Despite his 63 years, Mr.. Wright
is still studying, still irving to learn
more about precious stones. In jan
uary he expects to take the rigid
examination to become a certified
gemologist of the Genealogical In
stitute of America, coveted title
held by few of the country's jew
elers. He is already a registered
jeweler of the American Gem So
ciety and a member of the society's
Board of Directors.
That party for the ex-errand boy
was supposed to be surprise, but
the employees and associates who
gave it suspected Mr.. Wright Of
much too keenness to be much sur
prised-particularly because a few
| friends made a mistake in the date
OF his anniversary and filled the
store with flowers and kilograms
| during the week.
Tomorrow, just as he has done
every day for so years, except for the
weeks Of his illness last year, Mr..
Wright will go back to the store,
back to his diamonds

The third annual lily show of the
Garden Club of Virginia, with the
flower show of the Rappahannock
Valley Garden Club, assisted by the

the Dolly Madison Garden Club will
be held in Seacobeck Hall, Mary
Washington College, Fredericksburg

to gardeners who contemplate the
use of lilies in connection with the
herbaceous border. The many classes
in the schedule devoted to garden
flowers in general will show to great
advantage the relationship of color
variety and blooming periods. Dis
plays Of lilies from New York to
South Carolina will make valuable
contribution to the much debated
questions of section blooming dates
and succession of bloom, while ex-
hibits showing diseases of lilies will
be of greatest horticultural value.
The schedules for the show have
been printed and may be obtained
either from Mrs. Robert B. Payne,
