Into this atmosphere, physical and

power of enjoying and her ardor In i'm

embraces Of the past to fly to the arms
Of the present to beckon gladly to the
future. No more than this had yet
emerged into consciousness. She was
not yet asking how for good or evil she
stood or was to stand toward the
prince. Fortune had done wonderful
things for her and was doing more yet.
That was enough. and beyond that for
the moment she was not driven. Fl.
The mixture of poetry and drilling
suited her to perfection. She got both

Mr.. Taft's Religion "UnanimOus.
New York World.)

The fact that Secretary Taft is a
Unitarian has been printed, but in
order to make 1t official statement
was given out at the White House
last week. The statement adds that
Mr.. Taft also frequently attends the
Episcopal church, of which his wife
is member, and that his summer
home in Murray Bay, Canada, he has
taken great interest in the Presbyte-
rian church.
Friends of the Secretary also
pointed out after the statement had
been issued that his action in the
Philippines friars' land case had
shown his friendship for the Catho-
lies, and one especially close to Sec
retary Taft said he had often heard
him speak highly of the Methodists.
AS n boy in Cincinnati Mr.. Taft
sometimes attended the German Lu-
theran Sunday school with his play
mates, and among his most valued
advisers are several Baptists of prom
inence.
On more than one occasion the
Secretary has accompanied the Pres
ident to the Dutch Reformed church
in Washington.
1t might be added that Mr.. taft
has attended weddings and funerals
in the churches of practically all of
the various religious denominations.
