Washington, Special.-Democratic
simplicity characterized the first
Sunday in the White House of the
Taft family. President Taft, accom-
panied by his brother, Charles P.
Taft, walked to the Unitarian church
for morning services. The capacity Of
the edifce was taxed to it's utmost
with worshipers and strangers whose
curiosity impelled their presence.
He returned to the White House on
foot and after luncheon bestrode
"Sterrett," his newly-acquired horse,
purchased at Hot Springs, Va, and
with Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, his
military aide, Capt. Archibald Butt,
and President Roosevelt S orderly,
McDermott, went for a 12-mile ride
over the newly constructed Potomac
speedway.
Sees No Callers.
President Taft saw no callers who
had business to transact during the
day, this beginning his administra-
ton with his heretofore enforced
maxim that Sunday should be day
of rest.
Mrs. Taft Fits In.
Mrs. William Howard Taft, "first
lady Of the land, !" has assumed her
| duties without public ceremony or
oath of Office, which, in weight Of re-
sponsibility, magnitude Of impor-
tance, delicacy of execution and alb
solu.e lack of compensation, except
in love for her husband, the Presi-
dent, and loyalty to the nation, as its
first woman, have no comparison.
Mrs. Taft is charged with admin
istering the social and domestic af-
fairs of the White House in a man.
ner. consistent with allowing that
revered and historic pile to be the
public property Of the nation, and
at the same time the official place
| of entertainment Of the representa-
tives Of foreign nations and domestic
dignitaries. AS the wife Of Mr.. Taft,
she was "first lady Of the land' in
the Philippine Islands; she was his
wife as a Federal judge and as a
Cabinet minister. In the latter pos
|.ition Mrs. Taft learned the require
ments of Washington society.
| Removed From Oflcialdom.
That the main entrance Of the
White House may present as nearly
as possible the appearance Of pri-
vate residence, the uniformed police
officers and frock-coated doorkeepers
have been eliminated and in their
place are negro footmen in livery.
| Mrs. Taft has abolished the posi-
ton Of steward and will conduct her
domestic arrangements through a
,woman housekeeper. y
Plans Social Functions.
While the season of prescribed Of
fetal dinners is over it may be pre-.
dicted that the new tenant of the
! White House will conduct a series oi
informal social functions during the
special session of Congress, which
will bring renewed animation and
social life to the sedate and sombre
structure during the first few month:
