McMillan of Michigan and Washington society splendor
Special correspondence from Washington reveals Senator McMillan of Michigan as a wealthy, multifaceted figure. He maintains three secretaries for railroads and corporate matters, manages a vast correspondence, and entertains lavishly. The piece notes his real estate savvy, fashion-forward image, and the easy entry to official society in Washington, contrasted with a Chicago retiree’s social bid and a tale of a conspicuously public dinner among Congress members.
