Social Ambition and Notable Figures Stir Washington
A digest of Washington society and public life notes Mrs George Dewey and Mrs Nelson Miles as leading social figures amid talks of promotions for General Miles. It recounts family ties to Senator Sherman, ex senator Don Cameron, and details lecturer Wolf Thompson and his travels from Manitoba to New York and Paris. It also cites US Navy readiness against China, Admiral Kempff’s career, and Octave Thanet’s remarks on pen names and origins of her writing, with biographical threads and connections to Kipling and a mutual friend.
