MRS. TAIT's RECEPTIONS.

Tho following interesting lnforma-
tion regarding several radical changes
which are 10 be made in White House
receptions during the season. was

Hcrald's Washington bureau. sunday
morning last
Formal announcement wa. made
from the White House this afternoon
OF tho revision Of the social program
ior the official season which has been
prepared under the personal supervi-
sion Of Mrs. Taft.
That Mrs. Tan will mould the
character Of the entertainments in the
White House until she gets them away
from the stereotspcd stiffness Of pre-
vious years is made plain. That she
win resolve these necessary social
gatherings into something homelike.
In spite Of their official character. is
beyond doubt.
When Mrs. TAFT assumed her duties
in March she gave a series Of informal
entertainments which were novel and
charming. one feature Of her spring
program was series of garden
parties. Invitations to these we're dis
triutod through the official and social
colonies and nc pcraon received n
card to more than one of them. This
gave o%ppartunit for an individual
chat with Mrs. Taft. which would
have been out of the question in other
circumstances.
Mrs. Taft has decided TO carry out
the same plan in the matter of invi-
tntions To the state receptions which

FOUR BISHOPS HONOR
VENERABLE FRANCISCAN

Bishop John J. Monaghan was one OF
the four bishops who attended the golden
jubilee OF Mother Mary Agnes. who has
been at the head Of the Franciscan Sis
ters I'm this country for many years at
the convent or Our Lady Of the Angels
az Glen Riddle. Pa, yesterday. An in
formal reception was accorded Mother
Mary Agnes In the reception hall Of the
convent Upon her head she wore
wreath OF gold roses. the gift Of the
sisters. After she mad received the con-
gratulations Of the clergy and sisters the
guests were given a dinner, several hum
dred being seated in the dining hall OF
tho convent
Mother Mary Agnes IS probably the
best-known sister in this part Of the
country She IS a native of Germany
and came here when a young girl In
1859 she entered the Sisters Of ST. Fran
els. which at that time was a small and
comparatively unknown community. In
few years she became. superior general
OF the order. and Immediately began the
building OF ST. Agnes Hospital. at Phil
adelphia. which seemed an impossible
project Since then she has established
the order on a firmer basis by estab-
fishing hospitals all over the country,
and the sisterhood now numbers more
than 900 members. Mother Mary Agnes
was retired from the office Of superior
general two years ago, because Of her
advanced age. but she is still the guild
ing spirit Of the order.
