dent is a woman of clearly defined
opinions and one who believes in wo-
man suffrage as well as the higher
education for women, she has no fads
or fancies. She is representative
American woman who believes that
the wife has duties as clearly defined
as those of the husband, but she
claims to be of the "old fashioned
type which believes that woman is
the complement of man and that
what is most feminine about her is
most attractive to man and therefore
of the greatest use to the world
Mrs. Taft is justly proud of the
studious nature of all her children.
She is keenly sympathetic toward her
daughters ambition for a college
course, and though she regrets that
Miss Helen Taft will not have the adj
vantage of the social life at the white
house during her fathers term of Of
flee as president of the United States,
she thinks it far more important that
she should continue her studies at
Bryn Mawr, where she is now stu
dent. After graduation she undoubt-
edly will make her debut in the pres
idential mansion.
Mrs. Taft is above the average
height, graceful, well-poised woman
of dignified carriage, who seems much
younger than she really is. When
asked recently how she managed to
keep so young she replied that she
thought it was probably because she
was contented and happy woman.
She thought that, being the mother OF
three lovely children and the wife of
good husband, she had no cause to
be disconnected, and that absolute
contentment did away with wrinkles.
Democratic and Broad-minded.
Among the many good qualities
which can be attributed to the future
mistress of the white house her dem
ocracy and broad-mindedness stand
out prominently. Mrs. Taft's home
and family are her first considera-
ton, and she is of the opinion that
home and family should come first to
every woman, yet she finds good in
women's clubs, though she admits
that she does not feel the need OF
club life for herself.
She thinks that after the home
duties are attended to- woman might
attend club meetings to advantage,
the variety and incentive to keep pace
with the times which clubs afford
being reason enough why they are Of
service.
With the incoming Of President
Taft the people may still point with
pride to the family of the head of
the nation as one of the best Ameri-
can types and should remember that
the credit in no small degree is due
the wife and mother.
Champion of Purity of Home.
Mrs. Taft has very radical ideas on
the matter of moral laxity, believing
the strength of a nation lies rather
in the purity of the home than in the
maintaining of great armies and
navies.
Though Mrs. Taft belives in woman
suffrage, she does not think women
should hold Office. She thinks that
to fulfill her greatest usefulness and
to find her greatest happiness wo-
man should marry, and with home
and children to care for, public office
would be out of the question.
Mrs. Taft is a womanly woman and
is on record as saying that the devo-
ton of her husband and the love of
her children are dearer to her than
anything else in the world, dearer
even than being the mistress of the
white house.
