The development of water powers in

to regulate or interfere with those al

might, had she chosen to do so. have
become almost as well known to the
people of the United States as she
now is.
Miss Helen Taft is still so young
that her talents and tastes are little
known to the public. She inherits the
fondness for study which is inherent
in the Taft family, and has always
been among the leaders in the classes
of the schools which she has attended.
In addition to her scholastic pursuits,
Miss Taft is an authority on old china,
and is quite capable of writing a trea-
tise which would be valuable as a
guide to collectors.
Mrs. James Bryce, wife of the Brit

this much appreciated art she has
shown an inyentiveness that amounts

her the place pre-eminent even in the
diplomatic corps, many masculine
members of which proudly boast of
their skill as chefs. Mrs. Bryce's cele-

fever of emulation which has agitated
many Washington households, but

The claim that Washington women
are the most generously talented and
variously cultivated of any in the
country is borne out, the Washington
Post says. by a knowledge of the
tastes and capabilities of many wom-
en- who are regarded chiefly as charm
ing hostesses or admired bellies.
The most notable instance OF a
Washington woman of leisure who has
made a name for herself, not only
throughout the country, but also
throughout the world, is, of course,
Miss Mabel Boardman. Although she
has always sought to keep herself in
the background so far as the affairs of
the society are concerned Miss Board
man is admittedly the whole show
in Red Cross affairs. President Taft.
who has been for several years the
head of the organization, gladly gives
the credit for much of the success to
Miss Boardman. To a man-and all
the other members of the central com
mittee OF the organization are men
the governing body of the Red Crosi
delights to sing Miss Boardman's
praises. Few of those who meet her
socially realize that Miss Boardman's
mornings are invariably devoted to
the work at Red Cross headquarters,
and that she works as hard as any
paid empsoye of the organization.
Not many persons are aware that
the first lady Of the land, Mrs. Taft.
has diploma from the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music which entities
her to teach. Mrs. Taft is perhaps the
finest pianist among the smart set,
and has paid much attention to the
development of her talent AS Miss
Helen Heron in Cincinnati she was
noted for her interpretations of the
masterpieces OF musical literature.

laws the senate originated Sc and
the house SO. Practically the entire
number, save a few appropriation
bills and the anti-race track gam
bling bill, have been passed within
the past 10 days.
With the opening of the session to-
day the work should be easier. The
local option bill is out of the way
the criminal code has been amended

houses, as amendments will have to be

vlding for the organization of the
state militia, was safely passed last

measures of the session, has passed

with prospects of being acted on to-
morrow. The appropriation bill isl
