Ferria 3 Canlh0rn.
The Pacific commercial advertiser., 1908-11-15

In the course of his remarks the
lecturer reviewed the agricultural
prospects of the country; and as an
illustration told story of poor far
mer who had died, leaving to his wife
the farm heavily mortgaged. He said
that the widow set to work with
will and succeeded upon one year s
wheat crop in paying off the entire
mortgage. When he had completed
his lecture, the gentlema2 shook hands
and greeted the members of his au-
dience. One middle-aged man finally
approached him thoughtfully and be-
gan: ''I say, mister, you told a story
bout the widow raising a mortgage
on one years crop?" eyes, my
friend, that was a true story. 1t hap
peGed only two years ago. "Well,
sir, could YOU tell me who that widow
isl She's just the kind of woman
I've been looking for all the time. ;"

CHICAGO. November g." The first
lady of the land-what manner of wo-
man is she2" This, the all-absorbing
question in the feminine mind-and in
the masculine. too, for that matter-is
readily answered. Mrs. Helen Heron
Taft, wife of the President-eleet and
the next mistress of the White House,
has been for years a well-known figure
in Washington society, where her gra-
.eiousness, intellect and womanly ways
have won her a warm place in the
hearts of those who have met her.
The characteristic of the Taft home
lies in its atmosphere of hospitality to
friend and stranger alike. Mrs. Taft
is of the genuine type of American wo-
man. She has no fads; she has not
trace of affeetation; she possesses a re-
freshing sense of humOr; she has a
wealth of information on subjects run
ming the gamut from politics to art;
her manner is frank and direct; she
radiates graeiousness.
In these qualities of temperament the
next mistress of the White House is
remarkably like her husband, whose
genial smile has been pictured from one
end of the land to the other during the
campaign. Both the next President
and his wife like to welcome visitors
at their home Close friends are made
TO feel that the Taft hearthstone is
their own, business callers receive the
utmost courtesy; no one ever leaves the
Taft home feeling that he has been
an intruder.
In appearance Mrs. Taft is tall and
youthfully slender. Her hair is dark
brown and her eyes are blue gray
Serenity lies in her expression, and she
has a way of smiling when she is
amused which makes her face a charm
ing picture. 1t has often been said
that Mrs. Taft has as keen a sense of
humor as her husband and that her
flashes of wit often set her husband off
into explosions of laughter
Reading and music are Mrs Taft s
pet diversions. She devotes some part
of each day to the study of languages,
French and Spanish being her favorites.
Few mistresses of the White House
have been familiar with a Continental
language, which has prevented them
from absorbing a familiar knowledge
of that fascinating part of Washing
ton society, the diplomatic corps. Mrs.
Taft speaks several languages fuently.
She reads the musical reviews from
every country where music is power,
and in addition she peruses the maya
zines devoted to politics and the best
literature of the day.
Mrs. Taft s love of music has made
her something more than an amateur
musician and critic. In Cincinnati,
her home city, she took conspicuous
The Pacific commercial advertiser., 1908-11-15

part in musical affairs, and was at one
time president of the Cincinnati Sym
phony Orchestra, besides being con-
nected with other musical organizations.
Mrs. Roosevelt is fond of music and has
given several notable musieales in the
White House, but she is not the polish
ed musician that Mrs. Taft is.
The children of the Taft family are
a source of pride and joy to both Mrs.
Taft and the President-elect. There
are three children in the Taft family,
Robert, who is 10 and in the sophomore
year at Yale; Miss Helen, who has just
turned II, and who has elected to spend
four years more at school if her parents
consent. and Charles P. Taft I'd, 10
years old and named after his uncle,
the millionaire editor of Cincinnati.
The career of Miss Helen is giving
Mrs. Taft the most concern. The next
lady of the White House believes to
certain degree in higher education,
but she says that woman who has
studied earnestly makes more useful
member of society than one whose ac-
cOmplishments are varied, but mostly
artificial. The middle course of a good
academic school and special studies aft
erward, she believes, meet all require
ments for the vast majority of future
wives and mothers. So from the study
of Mrs. Taft s character and person
ality, it is easily seen that the country
need well be proud when she assumes
the title of "Leading Lady of the
Land
