good, every lofty ideal we're drawn
with perfect accuracy. Failures and
successes, defeats and victories passed
in rapid review. Never were there
such noble ambitions, such possibili-
ties and such fatal aim1essness
crowded into so small compass. The
sight alarmed me and cried, rs it
too later,
Suddenly the Scene Changed.
The Judgment was set amid alblaze
of majesty and power and glory, be-
yond my most fertile imagination.
Every human being stood before it,
waiting to render an account of the
life now closed. Notably,
The Poor Led the Way.
A boy from one of the great mer-
camille houses preceded several 9TH
ers whom he had influenced for good.
Then came man with a score of his
fellow workmen, whom he had res
cued, by his holy living, from lives of
ungodliness. He was followed by a
woman, Interestingly poor while on
earth, but filled with the Holy Spirit.
She with her children, whom she had
brought up in the fear of the Lord,
together assembled the massive steps
which led them through the portals
of glory into--who can describe 'the
things which eye hath not seen nor
ear heard?"
For a Thousand Years
the endless procession continued to
advance until the last man and wom-
an had rendered an accounting of the
life entrusted to them | was greatly
distressed at the sight of one whom
/ had known; he brought his work, a
marvel of human goodness, but it was
Rejected, Because 1t Was Christless.
The scene closed. Alarmed, /
awoke from my reverie. Instantly /
fell on my knees, consecrated my life
to Him who bought me with His
blood, allowed Him to fill me with His
Holy Spirit. Now, after several
years. / write to say, this is what
did with my life.

The Next Mistress Of The
 White House at Washington

Washington. Nov. s.-No woman ever called upon to fill the dificuit and ex- acting position of mistress of the White House was better prepared and equipped for her task than Is Mrs. Helen H. Taft. the wife of President. elect Taft She is a woman of cui. ture and refinement and of many ac- complishments. possesses unusual tact. social finish and, above all, a large measure of sound common sense. For number of years she has lived in Washington as one of the most dis- tinguished women of the oficial cir- cles and the training which she receiv- ed during that time will, undoubtedly. prove of great value to her as mis. tress of the White House.
 Personally, Mrs. Taft ts quite as attractive as she is from an intellee- tual point of view. She is fair. slen- der and girlish looking and no one would suspect from her appearance that she has a son old enough to be In college. She Is frank and vivacious, unpretentious, and yet possessed of marked dignity of bearing and the self poise so necessary to a woman in her exalted position. She is always cor- dial a rare accomplishment among so- cfety women and posses an excellent memory for persons and names. an invaluable gift for the wife of poe litical leader.
 The new mistress of the White House was Miss Helen Heron, daugh- ter of the law partner of the late Pres ident Hayes, when she married Will liam H Taft in Cincinnati in 1886. She was a bright and talented girl with a perfect passion for music. In addition to a good education she received an excellent training in music and through all her future life music has ever been her favorite recreation. She is not only an accomplished pianist, but pos- sesses a thorough knowledge of the theory of music and an extensive ac- ouaintance with the best works of mus sicaf literature. But. notwithstanding her great love of music and her ard- ent devotion to 1t. she has never ale lowed if to become an all-absorbing pa ssion, or even a fad to the extent of interfering with her duties to her hus- band and family.
 Although. probably. better equipped for a high social position than most women holding important positions in American society. Mrs. Taft is by no means a typical "society woman" For that she is too intelligent. sensible and well balanced. Ever since her husband entered official life in Wash- ington and even before that, when he
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-11-04

was still holding a judgeship in Ohio, Mrs. Taft has made 1t her study and aim to i'll to the best of her ability the position in society to which she was entitled by virtue of her husbands official rank. Her natural talent and the intellectual training of her girl- hood days made the task easier for her and her inborn tact helped her to avoid the pitfalls SO disastrous to in- experienced and but indifferently equip. ped women in official society.
 Nowhere is the new mistress of tho White House seen to gisater advant- age than in her home circle, the su- preme- test for the sterling qualities of any woman. no matter what her po- sition in society She Is devoted to her husband and her children, takes interest in everything pertaining to her domestic estabiishmnet and Is consid- cred a model house keeper. She does not consider 1t below her dignity to attend to her household duties and de. votes great personal care to the proper conduct of her domestic establishment. No woman in washintgon society ever
 knew better than Mrs. Taft to add
 wholesome and refreshing charm to
 her social entertainments. No matter
 how formal the function may be. Mrs.
 Taft as the hostess makes all her guests feel that they are received at
 her h0n~. not in nobel paftOr pr h
 public hall. She knows better than
 most women the secret of making her
 guests feel at ease. without vuigariz- ing the tone dominant of her hospit-
 able board
 Mrs. Taft Is an accomplished mu- sician and has great love for her art. but she never obtrudes the subject of music fin conversation nor does she ever bore her guests with inane ac- counts of petty tribulations to which every woman at the head of large domestic establishment Is more or less exposed. Of her family and her own affairs she speaks with well-bred dis cretion and sparingly. while she shows remarkable skill and tact in drawing out visitors by manifesting sympa-
 thetic interest in their affairs. Her
 home, wherever she may be. Is always filled with that intangible charm which
 springs from the intellectually. re- fnernent and exquisite artistic taste
 Of the hostess, Mrs. Taft. like her
