Friday, April 25, 1913. THE STATE JOURNAL. 15 The New Cabinet Hostesses (Continued from page 11.) of eleven children, of whom nine are living. Miss Agnes Wilson, who has been her father's secretary since she was fifteen, is a twin, and she it is who will do most of the social honors of the family for the next four years, in view of the fact that her mother is somewhat of an invalid, having suffered a stroke of paralysis a short time ago, from which she has not en tirely recovered. Three of the Secretary's children are married and the rest are with their mother at the home in Bloss burg, Pa. It is not unlikely that she may elect to remain there for a time to avoid disturbing their school work by a change to a strange city and sys tem. Miss Agnes is extremely clever and quaint. Her frank cordiality and sincerity win a ready response from every one. She has accompa nied her father to Washington for the sessions of Congress and has a profound knowledge of the most com plicated of the labor problems. Though only in her early twenties, she has filled the responsible posi tion of clerk to the congressional committee on labor. As a token of appreciation of her work for the American Federation of Labor they recently presented Miss Wilson with a beautiful gold watch. When questioned about her work, she said: "Do you know, I am actually dis fnpointed at having to give up the kind of work I have been doing to help father. I have been at his side constantly and have become so inter ested that I feel lost over the idea of abandoning it, for of course I could not think of keeping the position now. "What are my accomplishments? Bless you, I haven't any. I have had too many real things to do to acquire anything ornamental. We are plain people, coal miners, labor people, not society people, and there were eleven of us. I love music, but I neither play nor sing. I revel in grand opera and read during every bit of time I can spare. What books do I like? Oh, the classics, of course." The Wilsons will probably remain at a hotel, at least until the end of the short session of Congress, and in the fall will establish themselves in a house if Mrs. Wilson decides to join them. "This new life is all so different from the things I have always done that I expect there will be a great deal I will have to ask advice about," said Miss Wilson. She believes in a restricted suf frage for women, but does not see how any material benefit will be de rived if the suffrage movement is suc cessful in obtaining the ballot, unless the women organize themselves into a union for their own protection. It really seems as though each Cabinet must include a bachelor in its personnel, and Mr. Hitchcock's successor in this respect is James G. Reynolds, the new Attorney General, who is a Kentuckian by birth, a Vir ginian by university education, a Tennesseean by long residence and a New Yorker by business affiliation. He is not a stranger to the Capital, and if for no other reason than that he is a prepossessing eligible bache lor who has scarcely reached his prime, Secretary Reynolds will be an interesting factor in the social life of the administration. Likewise it seems that each new Cabinet also has one or two young lady daughters who preside over the households of their fathers. Secre tary of the Treasury McAdoo, being a widower, must depend upon his second daughter, Miss Nona Mc Adoo, to be the chetalaine of his es tablishment, in which she will prob ably have the assistance of her sister, Mrs. Martin, of Arizona. Miss Nona is just a girl, having made her debut only a brief time be fore her mother's death, about a year ago. This is one of the large family circles of the Cabinei, there being three sons and three daughters. The other daughter, Sallie, is but eight years old, while her brothers are of the college and boarding school age. Mr. McAdoo is preparing to transfer his family from their New York apartment to a residence at the Capi tal at an early dae. Perhaps of all of the new official family with which President Wilson has surrounded himself, that of Sec retary of Agriculture and Mrs. Hous ton is the least known of their as sociates. Mrs. Houston is a Texan, having been born at Austin. She is a great-grand-daughter of W. P. DuVal, who was the territorial Governor of Flor ida during the regime of Andrew Jackson. Like his wife, the Secre tary is also a Southerner, having mi grated from North Carolina. Mrs. Houston is a talented college woman of wide cultivation, and, through her husband's association with the Washington University of St. Louis, as its chancellor, she has been identified very extensively with college life and interests and is deep ly attached to sociological research. Secretary and Mrs. Houston have three children; the eldest and young est are boys, aged thirteen years and two months, respectively, with a little daughter two years. The youngest member of the family being such a very recent arrival, Mrs. Houston was obliged to return to her home imme diately after the ceremonies of inau guration day, as the infant had been left in the care of friends. She will return to establish a home in the autumn. Equally new to Washington social circles are the new War Secretary and his wife. Mrs. Lindley Garrison is the daughter of Capt. Samuel Hildeburn, U. S. A., and Mrs. Hilde burn. She grew up in Philadelphia, though she was born in the West. Being the daughter of an army officer establishes her more firmly and gives her a stronger affiliation among the army circles, over which branch of the governmental service her hus band is to preside. Secretary and Mrs. Garrison have been married thirteen years, the shortest period of any of the Cabinet families, and they are the only one that has no children.
