Mackay in declaring herself a candi- date for School Director in the village of Roslin, N. Y., is occasioning a lot of gossip in the smart sets of the big cities, here as elsewhere. While 1t is true that women have sought public office before, this is the first time in an American city that a leader in society—a woman of wealth and soclal supremacy—has offered to become a servant of the public. It has long been known that Mrs. Mackay was an intelligent student of economics and sociology, but few be- lieved she was so deeply in earnest as to offer her -services—whatever they might amount to—to the community in which she lives. Now there is no doubt but this very- much~-in-earnest society woman will do good work, having some strong notions about the responsibility of the school in the development of character in the child. But the chief importance attaching to Mrs. Mackay’'s desire to serve the Board of Education is the awakening it may cause among women of leisure of the duties they owe to the communities in which they make their homes. That Mrs. Mackay's civic interests in no way interfere with her social duties, she, with her husband, is now planning a great series of races and a gymkhana at their country place. . s e The wedding of Mrs. Helen Wagner and Thomas Butler Eastland to-mor- row afternoon will be the big event of the week. The ceremony will take place at the home of the bride's parents on Leaven- worth street, and will be performed by the Rev. Father Prendergast, vicar general of the diocese. There will be but few guests. | | |+ | + | | NEXR & Al 2z oo 3 —_ TWO NEW BRIDES, AND A MAID - WHO WILL WED ON THE MOR- months on the Atlantic N . The.John C.
