She prefers hats to toques.
The question has already come up as a mat
ter of speculation in official circles of Wash
ington society as to whether Miss Helen Taft
VIII finish her college course or be a White
House debutante within the next two years.
The question undoubtedly will be left to her
own inclination to settle.
One afternoon last June, when the eyes of
the nation were on Chicago, there emerged
from one of the big, substantial brick houses
in street. Washington, a little group of
figures, including woman who led the way
as they turned into Sixteenth street and
walked southwark toward the White House.
She swung along with step as elastic as that
of the boy and girl accompanying her. They
talked and laughed as they went, and their
voices, all pitched to the same pleasant con-
tralto tone, bespoke their kinship.
Perhaps they noted through the green vista
of Lafayette park the glistening columns of
the north portico of the White House. The
picture was familiar one to all of them.
That to the woman 1t stood for the moment
as the concrete presentment of fate toward
which her steps had turned % years before
almost to the day. who shall say? Her clear,
bue-gray eyes looked unblinkingly at the
reality as they had at the vision. Though in no
sense under the spell of that faculty which
Thurlow Weed years ago declared had bewil-
dered many men whose eyes were turned in
that direction, she was too frank to feign an
indifference to the alluring possibility of a
residence within its walls She had a can
didate at Chicago that day, and IL the question
were put squarely to her she ready I'M
hesitatingly to avow him.
The woman and children made altogether an
inconspicuous little group they crossed
Pennsylvania avenue and entered the big triple
department building on the corner of Seven
teenth street The Waterman at the door of
the war department and the messengers In
the corridors recognized them, however, as
they made their way toward the office of the
secretary, returning the grinning salutations
that greeted them on all sides.
Mrs Taft wore a white linen suit. flower
laden hat shaded her face which retains all
its girlhood contours. The door closed upon
them, and it was five o'clock before they re-
appeared Was 1t the same party, or had
that history-making afternoon wrought some
subtle change? Mrs. Taft wife of the secre-
tary of war was now Mrs. Taft, wife of q
presidential nominee. Her step was lighter.
her eyes brighter. Happy? Surely. Her can
didate had won the first approaches to uti-
mate victory.
They went as they had come, on foot stop
ming in the street to buy an extra" for the
pleasure of approaching the good news from
another angle.
The wife of a man already one of the most
conspicuous figures in public life in America.
Mrs Taft became from that moment a national
figure. The November victory of the Republi-
can party but concentrated the attention which
had been upon her for FIVE months as the wife
of its nominee. There were no longer favo-
rites I'm the field Comparisons were out of or
der. The names Of the presidentelect and his
family became household words throughout the
land.

BASEBALL GAME 0F SUNDAY
 PlEASES

The score board on the Warren ball grounds at the close of the game on Sunday afternoon between the reg ulars and Hooligans tor was it Yanni- gans, to be 8 to 2 but this did not agree with the score which was kept by the Review man. He made the totals 6 and ?. but then there was so much that happened in the first half of the opening innings when the Yannigans acted like a bunch of Hooli- gans that some one must be excused for any mistakes that arose, especi- ally since there was no official scorer.
 Sundays game proved a most ac- ceptable diversion in the absence of a regular scheduled match with an out side team. About two hundred fans. and 1t is pleasant to say that the fair sex was very largely represented, went to the grounds to see the game between the picked-up teams and not a word of complaint was to be heard. every one was satisfied and all en- joyed the game thoroughly.
 After the first inning which closed with the score to 1. both pitchers started in to do things and were gen erally given good support, number of sensational plays being pulled of and the game developed into pitch CTS battle with just enough hits scat tered through the remaining eight innings to keep up the interest.
 The Yannigans won the toss and sent the regulars to bat and the trou' bic began. The first batter up reach ed first on an error and stole second Peebles attempted to catch the run ner on second throwing to Thomas, the short stop who covered the bag bu; th.s bali went through him and the runner was advanced to third and scored a moment later when Bostain did not go for a fly sent into right garden. A steal of second followed and Bostain made clean nun of a fly and got the hooks" On the next play French threw to the plate tc catch the runner and series Of errors followed one upon the other so fast as to resemble the changing films in a moving picture machine and when the side was retired five regulars had put their foot on the pan each bringing home with him a tally.
 For she regulars the first man ul reached first on an error of short but no harm was done for he vas later thrown out at second. Peelles sin gled and was advanced to second oi Thomas bingle.

MEN NOT SURE 0F
 BIG FIGHT

NEW YORK. Aug. 16.-Eyen with tentative articles of agreement signed by Jack Johnson and Sam Berger. manager of Jeffries, it Is still hard matter to convince experienced sport ing men that these rival heavyweights will ever meet in the prize ring. There are several points arising from Wednesdays talkfest between Johnson and Berger in Chicago that are not re- garded with particular favor by men who have been in close touch with pugilistic affairs for years.
 It is fact that Johnson offered to wager s1,000 that Jeffries would never fight again and that Berger declined to accept the proposition It is also a fact that Berger readily agreed to reduce the amount of the side bet and then insisted that the fight should not take place until sometime next April. Furthermore. it is true that Jenries manager inserted a paragraph in the articles of agreement which is pro nounced today "a joker - that the division of the purse, whether on G5 and 35, 55 and 25 per cent or win ner take all basis is left entirely to the decision of the boiler maker.
 Johnson can refuse to fight If Jeffries says the winner must take all,. said a fight promoter, giving as an excuse that Berger slipped one over on him. He can also refuse to accept a purse that may be regarded with favor by Jeffries. Furthermore, the negro may, object to the selection oa a referee or he can deliberately funk out of the match, as he did fin the case of Langford in England last May So far as Jeffries is concerned, If he has reduced his weight to 225. as he says he has, why does he want to put on meeting with the blackman until next spring?'
