Mrs William H. Taft, wife of the
heavyweight secretary of war, was
Miss Helen Heron of Cincinnati. The
pair were married in 1886. Though the
mother of young children, to whom she
gives devoted care, Mrs. Taft has al
ways continued her interest in music.
She herself is a brilliant performer and
is a member of several clubs in Wash
ington whose object is to promote and
encourage musical culture. Mrs. Taft
seems to be the model all round woman
who can attend not only to both domes-
tic and society duties, but at the same
time maintain active interest in an in
tellectual or artistic pursuit outside
these narrow and narrowing limits.

END OF
EDDY CASE
ASSOCIATED Press Cable to The Starr
CONCORD, Mass, August 21-The
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy case has bees
withdrawn.

Suits were instituted to gain pos
session of the fortune of Mrs. Eddy,
founder of Christian Science, and a
commission was named recently to ex-
anime her as to sanity.
> Arthur Brisbane, editor of the New
York Journal, has just written the fol-
lowing regarding Mrs. Eddy, after see
ing her:
Mrs. Eddy's mind is clear, her
health is good for an old lady of eigh-
ty-six, her will is strong. She is pro-
tected by a very able and absolutely
honorable man in the person of her
trusted lawyer, General Streeter. She
is cared for in her home by women in
tensely devoted to her. She is able to
manage her affairs as much as she
may choose to do, and if she were not,
no greater crime could be committed
against her than to take her from the
surroundings that she loves and the
friends that make her happy. IF the
law should deprive this venerable lady
of her fortune and her liberty, there is
no reason why any woman past three
score and ten, and having accumulated
some money, should not be similarly
treated. Very lew women of seventy
have the business intelligence, power
of will, and clearness of thought pos
sessed by Mrs. Eddy at eighty-six."
