ough; w. X. Vanderbilt H., married to
Virginia Fair, and Harold s. Wander
bilt. Mrs. Belmont's grandchildren,
the two sons of the duchess of MARI
borough, John Marquis of Blandford
and Lord Ivor Charles Spencer
Churchill, have been made acquainted
with many of the incidents in the
book by their grandmother, and it
was the keen interest they displayed
In the narrative which led Mrs. Bel
mont to believe that others would find
the same enjoyment in the story of
the young Vanderbilts and the man.
ner of their life on Long Island.
Mrs. Belmont sounds this note Of
warning: Don't give over the care
of your children to hired attendants
They can never take the place of a
mother"
You see I have my own theory as
to the proper bringing up of children"
she said, and I've tried to shadow 1t
forth in this little story of the lives
OF my own children. I've tried to
make that book not just story for
boys and girls to enjoy, but a real
help for fathers and mothers who care
for their children. but don't know
how best to take care of them.
my children were brought up on
such an entirely different plan from
those of most of my friends. While
they were little never lunched away
from them. was with them con-
stantly.
ut is the usual fashion to Danish
children to the third floor in charge
of their nurses. My children were
always on the second floor with me.
They slept in room opening OF mine.
The youngest was always in a crib
beside my bed.
"Of course / had nurses for them
and governesses and tutors; but
was always the one in charge. My
daughter was educated entirely at
home. l kept two governesses in the
house for her. When it came time
for her to pass examinations l sent
to Oxford and got them. And she
passed in Latin, German, French and
English without a condition.
II believe that the solution of the
problem of the children of the rich
lies in just the constant association
Of them with the mother and father,
particularly the mother. She should
oversee every detail of her family's
welfare.
"Of course, the parents must be
educated. have seen people whose
children certainly wouldn't be bene-
fited by association with their fathers
and mothers. But to all the sensible
intelligent people know, say, don't
give over your children to the care
of hired attendants. Many of these
are, of course. excellent and trust
worthy, but they can never take the
place of a mother.
1--WE mean my book to prove this
and to serve as a guide to perplexed
parents who don't realize just what
are the best things for their boys and
girls. have planned to devote all
the funds obtained from its sale to
my hospital that is already being built
at Hampstead, L. l., in memory of my
husband, and will be known as the
Belmont Memorial hospital.
1T will hold about 40 patients and
the cost of the building alone is esti.
mated at $4,000. All my book money

Gov. Hughes Is to get the first va.
cancy on the United States supreme
court, according to a Washington story.
But a good many people are hoping that
he will wait awhile, and give the colm.
try chance to elect him president
some day.--Topeka Capital.
Well, Gov. Hughes may decide 70
watt He may take a leaf out OF Mr..
Taft's book a volume worth consulting
by capable and ambitious public men.
The supreme cours has always had a
lure for lawyers. The dignity and i'm
portanee Of the tribunal, and the life
tenure Of appointments to that bench,
appeal strongly to the profession. How
strong the appeal at al one time was to
Mr.. Taft he has confessed.
When he received President McKin-
ley's invitation TO come TO Washington,
Mr.. Taft wondered II a promotion from
the federal circuit bench, upon which
he was then serving, awaited him. He
would have accepted with alaeity The
court room and its duties were thor
oughly 10 his taste, and he had no other
desire than TO wear black gown an
the rest Of his life But he was offered
instead an appointment 10 the Philip.
pines, and reluctantly accepted.
That appointment carried speculation
Would IL not prove step to the su-
preme bench Would not success AZ
Manila be rewarded BY the return Of
Mr.. Taft to judicial life in higher
post than be had left at Cincinnati?
Some Of bis friends hoped SO, and prob
ably Mr. Taft shared the hope
But success in political office gave
Mr. Taft new views about the future,
and changed also the views OF his friends
for him The presidency appeared on
the horizon Why not Taft as the sue
cessor of Roosevelt, and especially as
Roosevelt himself was 50 warmly IN
favor Of the propositions And TAFT
it was The supreme court once over.
shadowing everything else, faded from
sight.
Had Gov. Hughes been offered an an.
pointment to the supreme bench in the
days Of his New York law practice he
would probably have jumped at it He
was then without political experience or
ambition. His heart was Ia his profes
sion, and Che courtroom bounded his
hopes But transferred TO the political
field he has disclosed remarkable abil-
ties for politics and the presidency II.
self is not above his range. Maybe
judicial appointment oven one Of the
highest docs not appear to him today
as tt once did.
If Gov. Hughes continues in politics

Taft. # he lives, will be ren0minated,
and then in the contest for the new Re

These rods. which are formed into

particles of metal become elongated
and strained, making the wire harder
and more brittle. TO restore II to a
proper temper It is necessary to heat

When a fne diameter Is required
there must be repeated annealings and
drawings. This may be done until the
