Show t IN THE SOCIAL SWIM I AT WASHINGTON CITY II Trlbuno Correspondence i WASHINGTON, March 19. MiUdcn tmlatresscs of Important cstabllslimcnts in Washington arc conspicuously plentiful. plen-tiful. Tho way young girls are queening queen-ing It over widowed father's homes at 4 the capital, keeping all step-mothers fi "belligerently at bay, Js a menaco to un-attached un-attached females at largo with matrl-monlal matrl-monlal Intentions. They've got a good I job, and they proposo to hold on to It. ' n It's the day of the daughters. Aspiring Jl widows and spinsters should look into J the matter. II There's Speaker Cannon, for Instance, fche quaint and tho droll. What chances have tho matrimonially unemployed with this notable widower when his delightful de-lightful daughter, Miss Helen, who makes two of her father, keeps him so "'comfy" and coddled by her own unaided un-aided efforts? The Cannon home on iiB Vermont avonuo Is the quintessence of snugncss and good cheer. At the motherless homo of tho Secretary Secre-tary of Agrlculturo on Vormont avenue, quite close to the Cannon's, Mlsa Flora Wilson, tho young daughter of tho house, qulto fills the bill. Pew matrons? preside with tho dignity and oweotness that characterize this young girl on all 1 occasions, both great and small. Her face, with ltfl framo of dark hair, Is ( singularly attractive. She Is stately and ' graceful, and Infinitely maidenly, the most charming figure In the receiving line, aa noxt to the last among the Cabinet Cab-inet ladies she stands with the President Presi-dent and his wife at tho great White Houso functions. The head of a Cabinet Cabi-net household with all Its honors and obligations is a rare position for n . young clrl. But no step-mothers need apply here. Miss Wilson personally cares little for society, having graver tastes than most women of hor ago. She J lias a decidedly literary trend, evl-1 evl-1 denced in a novel upon which she has f been engaged for somo time. F Tho young daughters of tho widowed ;' Senator Cookrell of Missouri, a Presi-' Presi-' dentlal suggestion, havo had their turn as mistress of his pleasant homo on R I : street. Miss Marion Cockrell, a belle ! 3 and beauty, the adored protegee of the multl-milllonalro Walshes, upon her marriage a year ago delivered tho reins J of government into the hands of her 1 younger sister, Anna, one of the most ; striking and vivacious girls In gay so-! so-! - cicty. Miss Cockrell makes an acccpt-3 acccpt-3 able chatelaine, dispensing hospitality In tho good old Southern way. - 1 It would bo a doughty step-mamma indeed, who would trespass upon the preserves of the volatile and volcanic llttlo Marguerite Casslno, who leads the dean of tho diplomatic corps such a mad and merry dance. The domestlo Ihorizon of that man of quiet dignity, as well as many millions, Senator Warren of Wyoming, is bound-Ad bound-Ad by his youni? girl daughter, Miss Helen Louise, who has Just been liberated liber-ated from Wellealy, and Is therefore tho baby of the bumsh. Tho two or three years' widowcrhood of the accomplished Senator threatens; to becomo a chronlo case under the daughterly ministrations ministra-tions of the bright Miss Helen. Sho is entirely equal to her position, presiding with aplomb at ti e many brilliant dinners din-ners her father has given all the season at tho New Wlllard, and receiving tho h.lghest of the land with lightheartcd ease. She is full of laughter and fun. As queen of the feast at a sumptuous banquet in the syjlcndld '.'Presidential suh'e" at tho New Wlllard this week, Mls.9 Warren numbered among her guevts Senator and Mrs. Clark of Wyoming, Wyo-ming, Senator and Mrs. Depew, Senator and Mrs. McCreary, Mrs. Cowlea, Gen. and Mrs. Draper, Senator Beverldge and .a score or so more. American Beauties and jonquils were tho table decorations, with palms making Jungles of the corners of the rooms. There Is magical lavishness Ln the banquets with which 'Washington abounds almost a barbaric exuberance. Mlas Helen Louise. Warren, tho handsome hand-some young daughter of tho Senator from Wyoming, one of the most popular of all tho fashionable young women of Washington, received thlB week with Mrs. Francis B. Nash at a tea given by tho latter at her homo on Q strcot. Miss Warren was gracefully arrayed ln pure white. Senator Hcyburn of Idaho and his petite bride enjoyed tho opera season In Washington.
