...Sarah Bagley organized the Lowell Female Labor Reform Association in 1844. The association, 600 members strong within the first year, fought for a ten-hour day and forced the first governmental investigation into labor conditions in American history...
Some other would-be social bridges have been campaigning, with varying degrees of zeal, for roles as certified Carter hostesses. One of them is Vicki Bagley, wife of an heir to the Reynolds tobacco fortune. Vicki, 33, and Husband Smith Bagley, 41, moved to Washington from Winston-Salem, N.C., almost two years ago. They paid $650,000 for a big house in Georgetown, added a tennis court and other amenities, and eventually carved themselves a niche as big Carter boosters. It clicked. Says Vicki: "Six months after we were here, we were associated with Carter and all the dinnerparty invitations...
Down-Home Profile. Administration insiders say the hosts that the Carters will see most are the Lances. No other members of the White House family are likely to emerge as social lions (most Carter staffers, says Vicki Bagley, "have an intense feeling for work rather than play").

Carter has been there before, and, as in the past, he observed the political propriety of paying Bagley $300 a day. Most of the entourage stayed at the Cloister Hotel on nearby Sea Island (their bills, like Carter's, were paid from...
Equal polish was apparent in the concluding work of the program Friday night, the light and diverting National Emblem March of E.G. Bagley. As through most of the other parts of the concert, particularly the Persichetti and Milhaud, the Concert Band rose to the full demands of tonal color and concerted playing. The trombones highlighted the instrumentation, and the piece was conveyed rather enjoyably--like the Gabrieli Canzon--with an obvious glee not always suitable in other parts of the concert...
