most distinguished guest, though there
were other cabinet officers, ambassadors
millionaires, and sprinkling Of
senators.
Among the well known participants
in the social functions OF the week was
Mrs. VIM. H. Taft, wife of the presi-
dental candidate. Mrs. Taft has Just
returned from Bryn Mawr where she
entered her daughter in college. She
has been visiting Miss Boardman, who
is at the head of the National Red
Cross Society, a young woman Of much
ability, the daughter Of a multi
millionaire and herself social leader.
Miss Helen Taft who is entering
Bryn Mawr this year, and who will be
the next young lady at the White
House il her father is elected, is the
same age as Ethel Roosevelt who has
done with unimportant and tedious
matters like school and who will make
her debut this year. Mrs. Taft is
rather inclined toward the thigh
browsv however. and while she is de-
voted to society and bridge whist her
self she is taking out her intellectual
ambitions on her only daughter
Young Charles has also been shipped
to boarding school to get him out Of
the political and social atmosphere
Charles is not an angel and the hattery
and cajolery he received on a trip
around the world and later as the son
of the most promising candidate fol
President, came near effectively spoil
ing naturally healthy and wholesome
boy-or as one of the newspaper at
taches Of the Taft suite expressed Il
made him the rottenest kid outside Of
the reform school," Mr. and Mrs. Taft
we're both averse to his being pushec
forward but neither was in position
nor had the time. to keep him in tn,
background. 80 boarding school wa
senably decided upon as a means o
reducing him to normal state.
