	A Child in Blair House: Memoir
		The master of Blair House was my uncle, Gist Blair, and when he and his wife, my Aunt Laura, adopted me in 1927 I became part of a Washington family that for over a century had exerted a major influence on our national life.
		Because of the intimate associations that the Blairs had had with various American Presidents--and because my aunt and uncle were avid antique collectors--the house was full of historical memorabilia, and Uncle used his "props" to good effect in educating his young niece about her country’s past.
		Since I came to Blair House as a child, and since my aunt and uncle were so often occupied with the obligations of the Washington social scene, I probably spent as much time with the house’s servants as I did with visiting dignitaries, political friends of my uncle, or other examples of the "right" people.
