figures at the White House. Mrs: Darlington
and Miss Darlington were members OF tne
little party who heard the result OF the nomi'
mating convention at Chicago last June WIN
Mrs. Taft in the Office Of the secretary OF war.
In addition to the sons and daughter OF Mr.
and Mrs. Taft, there are plenty of young people
at the White House from time to time, repre-
senting various branches of the family. The
country became familiar with the names OF
Mr. Taft's nieces and nephews at the time of
the convention in June, when they were on
hand to cheer for "Uncle WILL" OF Mrs.
Taft's five sisters, four are married, as are also
her two brothers, and all have families.
Mrs. Taft's sisters are Mrs. Parsons of Co
lumbus O.; Mrs. Charles Anderson of Cincin-
natl, who has three charming daughters who
are graduates of Bryn Mawr, where Miss Helen
Taft is now a student; Mrs. Louis Moore of
Cincinnati, who has one little son, and Mrs.
Thomas Laughlin of Pittsburg, who has two
small children. Her brothers, William Her
ron, who married Miss Janey Esby of Cincin-
natl, and John Heron, who married Miss
George Aldrich both have young children.
Much of the domestic machinery of the
White House goes on automatically, with little
variation from one administration to another.
Mrs. Taft is good housekeeper. In the home
maintained until last June she had four serv-
ants, a Filipino boy brought frcm the
islands. The house was tastefully furnished,
many souvenirs Of travels giving it an interest
ing background. Mrs. Tafts room was decor
ated in blue, her favorite color. In matters of
dress Mrs. Taft has quiet tastes. She does
much of her own choosing and shopping. and
patronizes local shops. For evening she wears
white frequently, though pink is perhaps the
color for which she has greater partiality. At
reception at the White House one afternoon

mourning for Mr.. Taft's mother, and they took

She plays scientific game of whist, and has

favorite diversions, and are often together at
concerts. Mrs. Halle Erminie Rives Wheeler

spent several months recently in this country
