I'm Big Haul AT the LOnEvOrth
Residence, Including Two Mem
bers OF Roosevelt Family.

President Taft had a Mt Of the blues
yesterday.
The prospect Of dining alone in the big
White House depressed him greatly. The
solution Of his troubles was not TO dine
alone, so he arranged an impromptu
dinner party.
Getting into his motor cara large and
commodious affair-he went seurrying
around town picking up congeniaI people
who would assist in the laudable purpose
Of keeping loneliness from returning. Al
the residence Of Representative Long
worth he made a big haul
There he gathered in Mr.. and Mrs.
Longworth, Theodore Roosevelt, jr.. who
was visiting his brother-in-law and sis
ter, and Mr.. waInngford, Of Cincinnati.
Mr. LOngworth's brother-in-iaW.
According to the books on the eti-
Quette OF Official society in Washington
an invitation from the President is a
command, and the Longworths, young
Roosevelt. and Mr.. Wallingford took din
ner at the White House. Brig. Gen. Clar-
ence r. Edwards, chief OF the Bureau OF
Insular Affairs. and Capt. Archibald W
Butt Of the army. the Presidents MIL
tary aid, were also summoned.
The evening was cool. but the dinner
was served on the roof Of the long. low
wing that connects the White House with
the executive offices. Colored lanterns
were used for illumination.
President ut Church.
Yesterday morning for the first time in
many weeks the President attended All
Souls Unitarian Church. Fourteenth and
L streets northwest. where he heard a
sermon by Rev. L. G. B. Pierce.
The President was accompanied by
Silas McBee. the editor Of the Church
man. Neither appeared TO mind the ter
rible heat, which was most intense in
Fourteenth street 1t was evidently not
expected that the Chief Executive would
be present at the service. as it is usual
for great crowds TO line the street on
such occasions. Few persons saw him on
his way TO the church.

Mccall Lhuds plan.
Representative Mccall, Of Massachu-
setts. chairman OF the House Committee
on Library. said:
Parks have always been intended for
the public good One OF the tests OF a
municipal government is the extent Of a
condition of the park system il maintains
There is nothing which the people so
much appreciate as an endeavor upon
the part of the authorities TO give them
plenty OF breathing spots. accessible at
all times without much expenditure Of
time or money
The Washington Herald's project to
make Rock Creek Park more accessible
is a popular one, for the reason that IL
is a movement OF genuine philanthropy
Il deserves the support OF every citizen
and particularly of those In authority"
