New Successful White House Hostess

became i'll she abandoned her own
social programme In Cincinnati and
remained in Washington. This made
it possible for Mrs Taft to carry out
the remainder of the entertainments
which had already been scheduled,
and Mrs. More took her place as
hostess at several official dinner par
ties which Mrs. Taft had planned
earlier In the season. Mrs. More won
admiration by the grace with which
she fitted into the position of White
House hostess.
Mrs. Taft's first social season as
mistress of the White House was
brilliant success In spite Of the ner.
vous trouble which necessitated her
withdrawal. Never in the history Of
generations has there been so much
social activity at the White House. and
never has society been more diplo-
matically and pleasantly brought to-
gether. Persons who had not been in
the White House for many months,
and some for several years. were
again welcomed and hobnobbed with
each other to an extent hard to be-
lieve.
