Rensselaer Republican, Volume 20, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 December 1887 — Senators Evarts's Daughter. [ARTICLE]

Senators Evarts's Daughter.

Wesfcington Special. Senator Evarts’s house used to be full of young girls, but they have married off with such surprising rapidity that only Miss Mary Evarts, tire Senator’s favorite daughter remains. Miss Evarts, it is said, is quite willing to retire from gay society, and begins to find it a_bore, but the Senator insists that she shall go every vhere, takes profound interest in her toilets, and complains thatsbe cannot get enough evening dresses to please him. The Evartses are as much Washington people as New York people. The traditions of the extremely good taste and perfect simplicity of the bringing up of Senator Evarts’s daughters and Mr. Hamilton Fish’s still remain, and the way in which they were kept in the background as half-grown girls is contrasted wi|h the present fashion of allowing school girls all the privileges and pleasures among their own set of grown girls.
