Petite Miss Patrick To Mother Admiral’s Seven Russian Kiddies Though Still in Her Early Twenties, Niece of Or phans’ Benefactor Is Find- ing Keen Pleasure in Ta!l( . ) Miss Vina Patrick, niece of Rear Ad- miral Newton A. McCully, U. 8. N, who has come to Washington to pre- side over his household and play the part of Little Mother to the seven Russian children whom he regently brought to this country and adopted, is_a most interesting personality. Still_in the very early twenties, Miss Patrick is amazingly young for the altogether unusual duties which she has willingly undertaken. A petite, delicately ‘colored blonde, she appears at first sight scarcely more than a child herself, a fellow romper with the five little girls and two boys who have crossed the ocean to make their home in Washington. But while Miss Patrick came from her home at Anderson, 8. C., to pre- side in her uncle’s new home, she is by no means a stranger in Washington, for she was for a number of years a pupil here at a private school, and upon her graduation went for several years to Smith College. Not only is she already immersed in her duties in the admiral's household, but is taking a genuine interest in the arrangement of the quaint, old-fash- ioned house at 1821 I street, which Admiral McCully recently purchased for the housing of his little Russian brood. This is the old Eakin Gadsby house, where, on the north side of I between 18th and 19th streets, it formerly had many historically well known neigh- bors, such as the civil war provost marshal's office, where, subsequently, Count Cassini, then Russian ambassa- dor, and his daughter, Countess Mar- guerite de Cassini, made their home for many years. Immediately next to the old Gadsby house lived Gen, George H. Thomas—“Pap Thomas™ of the war of the rebellion. At the 18th street corner is the old Wallach house, and almost opposite the famous little old home of the Alibi ub. _Prior to his bringing home the seven little Russians, Admiral McCully made his home at the Benedick, where, in season and out, he retained his apart- ment. ‘After ail, the admiral's inte °st in the Russian peoples, and par- ticularly the children, is no new thin, but dates back many years to the time when, as United States naval attache to Russia urider former Ambassador George Marye, he co-operated with Mrs. Marye in founding a hospital and orphanage for destitute children of that stricken country. And so it has been, through reading her uncle's letters and in long inti- mate talks with him on hls visits home, Miss Vina Patrick, always in truth the apple of her uncle's eye, has in a way had her mind turned eagerly Mrs. William A. Corn. wife of Lieut. Corn, U. 8.
