ing, filmy Philippine fabrics, which she
brought back to the states with her
after her long residence in Manila
And yet she brought only what she
might have actual need of in the near
fture According to her thrifty nature.
she purchases only what she can see
use for. Mrs. Taft has never been
wealthy. Her money is always spent
judiciously.
Mrs. Taft patronizes always the con.
servative establishments. Good val
ne for the money is what she looks
for first in shopping. She rarely goes
into the cheap stores. except for unim'
portant articles, which careful women
know how to buy. During her resi-
dence in Washington she has done her
purchasing mainly in the shops along
r street
Mrs. Taft and her daughter are both
careful buyers. In doing Christmas
shopping, they rarely are guilty of pur-
chasing useless trifies. They go about
months before the holiday week. and
by the time other Christmas shoppers
are beginning to think of buying. their
gifts are bought and carefully put
away, carefully labeled. awaiting the
suspicious day. In this respect Mrs.
Taft is much like Mrs. Roosevelt, only
that Mrs. Roosevelt does much of her
gift shopping in the jewelry shops.
while Mrs. Taft is more apt to look
in the department or notion stores.

WASHINGTON rough RI
w ders' of the Taft administration
will be the members of the Yale class
of 1878. When Roosevelt became
president the soldiers of his famous
regiment became the White House
pets. The Rough Rider colonel never
overlooked an opportunity to show his
affection for his comrades by granting
them favors of great and small i'm
portance. The fondness of the presi-
dent for his cowboys and quick shoot
ers was so pronounced that it had a
marked effect on the popular under
standing of his administration.
Mr.. Taft's personal loyalty and de-
votion will go to an entirely different
set of men. The one set of men whom
he places above others in sentimental
and affectionate regard is made up of
the youngsters, now grown up, who
graduated at Yale in 1878. Nearly all
of these men are now n little over so
years of age. and most of them I'M
der 55.
Those in good health are in active
occupations, and a large number have
made their marks in various lines
They live in many countries of the
world and cover wide ranges of work.

WASHINGTON is now uDquestion-
w ably the most governed city on
earth. 1t stands without a rival in
the matter of statutes and regula-
tions. Congress enacts the laws and
a triumvirate of commissioners pre-
scribe the rules under which people
may live and move and have being.
Each and every walk of life is plas-
tered with regulations. These range
all the way from supervision of wash
erwomen to the control of corpora
tons.
And so it came to pass that the
other day the local health department
was besieged by washerwomen, all

of which they may be enabled to
sneak the weeks laundry of the or
binary taxpayer home without the
whole bundle being confiscated by a
ivigilant inspector. Every lady who
takes in washing, and they are esti-
maetd to number more than 5000.

always SO in the winter preceding the
Inauguration of new president.
That Mrs. Taft is so friendly to
Washington means many thousands of
dollars to them. Not many years has
president been elected who practi-
cally considered Washington his home.
In the matter of clothes Mrs. Taft
is woman of the plain type. While
well and usually handsomely gowned
her clothes are never the first thing
which attracts the attention of the
stranger. Her taste runs to the plain
cloth and rich silks. She is en-
phatically not the tailor-made silk
lined woman. Her favorite colors for
the street are brown and gray and for
evening wear pink, almost invariably.
She has never appeared in an i'm
ported gown. She has had number
