THE ” BELLE OF THE CABINET.”

Ula. Minnie Wanamaker It Her Mother*! Right Hand. Miss Minnie Wanamaker may be jonsidered the “Belle of the Cabinet" is one of the prettiest girls it possesses. The home life of the Wanimakers is such that no amount of attention can change the simple, dignified character of the daughters. In society, in charity, and at home they work together with the utmost harmony, but Minnie is her mother’s right hand in everything. ' She wap educated in the most thorough school in Philadelphia, and her teachers encouraged the development of a mind that is unusually capdble. She is very fond of historical studies, and there is little in the Wanamaker library that she is not familiar with. She speaks French and German as easily as English, and is also a good Latin scholar. In spite of all the social life with which she is surrounded, Miss Wanamaker keeps many hours in which she attends to the charitable demands on her mother. Since they have been in Washington it has beert the custom of the Wanamaker girls, no matter how late,the retiring hour the previous night, to go out to Georgetown and take charge of the classes of colored children in the Industrial School. Miss Wanamaker assists her mother always in receiving, and if not close beside her is among the guests. The Wanamaker receptions are especially marked by the attendance of many strangers and odd characters. Miss Minnie never countenances smiles at these people, but is always sure to

give them some special attentions. Her demeanor on all occasions is such as to give pleasure to others and to Command respect for herself.

MISS WANAMAKER.
