 A stances have made the estima- ble women pictured herewith ~ the surviving travellers along the roa, that leads to the White House which one will prove to be the fa- vorite of fortune, swept by popular ac- r,airn around the last devious turning ana into the open door of the executive mansion? Popular favor is sensitive. even a nckie. thing. and. no matter now confident each candidate for the presi- aency may feel. the most trivial cir eurnstance may intervene to oaik sue eess even in its final stages.
 No matter how the election may go. whether Mrs Bryan or Mrs. Taft Is to he the first lady in the land. no Arneri- ean will have cause to blush for his country's choice.
 Roth Mrs. Taft and Mrs Bryan are aaughters of the middle west. that nection of the Union which has con sributed so much to the brain of the nation during the past decade. Mrs. raft is a native of Ohio. the town of Cincinnati being her birthplace. Mrs. Bryan first saw the light in Illinois. Perry being her birthplace. Mrs Rrvan frankly tells her age. She Is forty-sevan. Mrs. Taft. who cannot be much younger, keeps discreet silence on the point and manages not to look her years. Mrs. Taft belongs to the class that cares much for the roses and lilies of life. She Is fond Of society and pretty clothes, adorese music. is a graceful figure at afternoon teas and. hest of all a good wife and mother. Mrs. Bryan, like the sturdy women Of the newer west, of which she has be- come a part, is serious, very much In earnest about everything. a thorough believer in the doctrine that the coun : fry needs her husband. She Is type of the woman of the countrywide best fype. be 1t understood-tust as Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Roosevelt are types of the city woman. Mrs. Bryan is hap pfest in the beautiful rural home at Fairview, near Lincoln. Neb. driving over the prairies in the early morning or at the quiet sunset hour. when the meadow lark is singing in the hedge rows. Mrs. Taft is at her best in fetching gown at smart musical or while enjoying the newest opera.
 Frequent Guest at the White House.
 Mrs. William Howard Taft was Miss Helen Heron, the daughter of Cin cinnati lawyer. Her father was th' law partner of the late President Ruth erford B. Hayes. and her first glimps' of white House life was obtained wheI the Hayes family occupied the man sion. In those days she was often in vited to be the guest of Miss Fam! Hayes, now Mrs. Harry E. Smith ant a resident of Fremont O.

From the very first young Taet prospered, and when he married the sweetheart of his childhood days he could afford to give her honeymoon tour abroad. MT. Taft has been lucky. exceptionally lucky. and one of the things in which he has been luckiest is in his wife.
 Mrs. Taft is an admirable housewife. If 1t had not been for her skill with a needle on the momentous occasion in Russia when Mir Taft's best trousers sprang a tear and kept the czar walt | ing all of half hour this country
 might have been sadly discredited
 Not only can Mrs. Taft sew. but she I can put on patch in such a manner
 that no ordinary eye Is likely to dis
 cover 1t. Likewise Mrs. Taft under
 stands children. One of her theories is that all promises made to them should
 be kept. no matter how trivial they are A friend tells that one day Mrs. Taft ] delayed a drive at some inconvenience l to herself in order that she might keep her promise to Master Charlie in re- gard to playing with him the first time

 4 Woman Of Affairs.
 Mrs Bryan is interested in philan- thropic work and is member of so-.

She is con- l slstent church member. but most toi- erant ln her views of the faith or others. Formerly the Bryans' home was in Lincoln. Neb.. but a few years aro they were enabled to buy a large

They have huilt one of the handsomest and most convenient houses in the state. which they cali Fairview because 1t stands on a knoll that commands view of mile after mile of the most beautiful prairie scenery. Mrs. Bryan is asSapa- ble woman politician. although she has
 the wisdom to keep altogether out of
 sight and permits her husband to take I the helm. She is his trusted comrade and adviser. Locked in her little brown head are probably more weighty
 condolences and political secrets than
 any other feminine head in America has been intrusted with They are I perfectly safe, for she has gift that
 is rare among women. She knows without being told when it is wise to hold her tongue. With her natural ret-
 icence she combines a practical good sense that makes what she does say altogether to the point and worth hear ing. If one looked for parallel foT Mrs. Bryan 1t might be found in stha : high minded matron of the best days of the Roman republic.
