Member o{ Scnflt; Notable Woman of Wyoming Shared Husband's Politi- cal Honors and Now| Greets His Successor in National Affairs. One of the most interested spectators in the Senate gallery on March 4 will | be Mrs. Joseph Carey of Cheyenne, | Wyo., who, having shared the honor | of a husband’s election as both Senator and Governor of her State, will now be present to see the honor repeated for her son, Robert Carey, who will take his seat as Senator from Wyoming. | In 1876 the trouble which had | smouldered in Wyoming for some time between the white men and the Sioux | broke out in actual warfare. Gen. Custer lost his life at that time, but the Indians were permanently sup- pressed and the territory made safe | for white men. On March 4, he will take his seat as Senator from his State, succeeding Patrick Sullivan, who was appointed by the Governor to fill the vacancy created by the death of the late Senator ‘Warren, Like many wives and mothers of noted men, Mrs. Carey is extremely modest. “I have absolutely no accom- plishments,” she declares, refusing to talk about herself. “But the proudest day of my life will be when I see my son take his seat in Congress on March 4. Yes, it will be even a greater day for me than when my husband took his seat. You see, this time, it will be my son—and—well, I think all mothers feel prouder of their sons’ accomplish- ments than those of their husbands'.” Mrs. Carey will remain in Washington until March 4 only, and then will re- turn to her home in Cheyenne. —_— To Wed Bostonian Mrs. Stevens to Entertain Hospital Nursery Guild Mrs. Cabot Stevens, president of the Woman's Board of Garfield Memorial Hospital, will entertain the Junior, Nursery Guild of the board at her resi- dence, 1516 Webster street, tomorrow. | The “thimble party” is from 2 to 4| o'clock, with tea served at 4.

Among the many young men who | danced and rode with Miss David over the plains where the buffalos ranged was Joseph Carey, who later won her hand. The same perseverance which led him to success in his courtship gained for Joseph Carey the highest political honors of Wyoming. Coming to Washington with his at- tractive young wife during the first term of President Cleveland's administration, Mr. Carey, afterward Senator, repre- sented the Wyoming Territory in the Forty-ninth Congres He was a leader in the movement tated in the early | 80’s to admit Wyoming to the Union as a State and was a member of the House at the time Wyoming was ad- mitted as the forty-fourth State of the Union. - Young Mrs. Carey -was of that old school which believed that ladies should not “mix” in politics, but noted that through personal charm and an attrac- tive home they could gain powerful friends for their husbands. During both President Cleveland's administra- tions, and later during that of President Harrison, Mrs. Carey carried out the teachings of her school, entertained ex- tensively and delightfully and gained many warm friends for herself and the Senator in the Capital. Mrs. Carey, who is visiting her son, Senator Robert Carey, at the Hay- Adams House, recalls with pleasure her | days as a young hostess in Washington | during her husband's congressional service, “I think Washington was far more | attractive then than now,” she re- | marked. “But, then, I think those days | were more pleasant everywhere.” | Senator Joseph Carey returned to | Wyoming after a successful six years in Congress and entered into private | business. In 1911, he was honored by election as Governor of Wyoming. “No, I did not assist my husband “Since 1843" NOTHING can take the place of experience which age carries with it. MISS MARY GENE FAWSETT Of Rockville, Md., whose father, Mr. William H. Fawsett, has announced her engagement to Mr. Bradley C. Karn of Rockville, ~—Underwood Photo, in his political campaigns,” Mrs. Carey replied, when asked whether, like the famed lady, Gov. Nellie Ross, she par- ticipated personally in politics. “But my home was always open to my hus- band’s friends.” One of her husband’s outstanding ac- complishments for his State, Mrs. Carey tells you, was his work toward the reclamation of arid lands. Joseph Carey was first Senator an@l then Governor. His son, Robert Carey, has known the same honors, but the governorship came to the Senator-elect before his election to Congress. He served as Governor from 1919 to 1923.
