There is only one point perhaps on
which President and Mrs. Taft differ.
The President Is a member Of the f-ui-
terian Church; Mrs. Taft is an ardent
EpiscopaIian. But they follow thei- re-
ligi0Us beliefs in perfect harmony. Mrs.
Taft sdheres strictly 10 all the ordinances
of the Episcopal Church. and she IS Jae

There is one other point in which Mrs.

Miss Helen Taft IS practically. so far

Of the talent OF her distinguished father

distinction at all Of the schools she has

But in spite Of her devotion TO study,
there is nothing Of the stern ana frumpy

characteristic Of the man who loves his
