that ''the Judge" is the best man yet

Mrs. Taft became acquainted with

at the age OF Is. abe was Helen Her-
ron of Cincinnati, and visited Mollie

at the White House. Her father was
John w. Heron, law partner OF Pres
ident Hayes.
Mrs. Taft takes great pride in being
a thoroughly domestic woman. She Is
a musician. and an accomplished lin
guist. She organized and was the FIRST
president Of the Cincinnati Symphony
orchestra.
On her sideboard Is a magnificent

graduated last year. and now ia pre-
pairing for Bryn Aawr college.
Robert Alphonso. the eldest. now

knows what he will be when he grows
up-a soldier in the army. He plans
to 60 to West Point as soon as dad
will let him.
Secretary Taft is not a man OF
wealth. He has always had to live on
his salary, and a secretary's salary
does not go far In Washington.
The Tafts. therefore, do not enter

NO CABINET MEETING
TEDDYHAS PHOTOS TAKEN

explanation~the executive told his ad-
visers not TO wait. but to come around
again next day. Then he donned his
riding clothes. telephoned the photog-
rapher. called for Captain Fitzhush
Lee. and hurried to the riding course
AT Rock Greek park.
For more than an hour the president
rode gracefully In front OF the pho
tographer, usually leaping his horse
over hurdles. Some splendid mega
lives we're obtained and Mr.. Roosevelt
feels more than justified in postponing
the cabinet meeting.
One pose in particular. where the
president is smiling as he sits on his
horse while going over a hurdle. is
deemed good enough to have warrant
