the wisdom OF Mr.. Mahlers act. placing
upon the programme of the second regular
subscription concert the suite for orches-
ira by Bach with which he opened the so

for the act came when last night the
music was given with a brilliancy and
beauty which were scarcely limited at be

Perhaps she acted with too little sban-

her voice was too nigh and lacking in
richness yet against sucn perfect beauty
the caviller must break his lance in vain
And, i'm passing. II should b. noted that It
was Mile. Cavalicris first appearance in
the part on any stage.
The Don Jose was Mr.. Zenatollc. who
gave a performance of considerable dra-

sang the part i'm Italian, the other artists

MR. TAFT THANkFCL.
Enjoys Real Food 5rith Family
and Takes JTalk.

Washington. Nov. 25.-Sated with the
'possum dinners and elaborate bauquets
which he was forced 10 face on his recent
trip from coast 20 coast. President Taft
sat down this afternoon to family
Thanksgiving dinner. The piece de re-
sistance was a turkey that had been raised
on "A Rhode Island farm and looked al
most mountainous in its proportions Mr..
Taft smiled genially when the dessert was
e served. lie leaned hack in his chair.
Thank goodness" he sighed. happily.
I've had a dinner AT which 7 haven't
been compelled to make speeches and
where no reception committees lurksd in
the background. I've enjoyed food-real
food-and / haven't had to work to get
it."
When the word of the Presidents salts
faction reached below stairs there was
another Thanksgiving ceremony. Tonight
the White House chef is the prOudest
citizen of the District Of Columbia, while
his assistant sheds reflected pride.
The President did not have any guests
at dinner. Only the members of the Taft
family were present, including Mrs. Laugh
lin. sister of Mrs Taft Miss Helen and
Charlie Taft had come from their schools
for the occasion and will remain until
after the holidays
When dinner was ended and the family
group had spent some time together I'm the
drawing room Mr. Taft decided that he
needed exercise. Accordingly a White
House attache called Attorney General
Nickersham on the telephone and the
legal expert OF the administration arrived
at the Executive Mansion within a half
hour.
Lets take a walk Vickersham." said
the President I've got to do something
to settle my dinner. I hope you enjoyed
your turkey much as ! did mine"
Mr. Wickersham's reply was inaudible.
but he appeared well fed md supremel.,
satisfied
The President and the Attorney General
then struck off for a walk that lasted more
than two hours. They left the White
House grounds by the rear gate that opens
ON the Mall, and their course took them
over the wind swept stretches OF the Poto-
mac River bottoms well down toward Alex
audria. Va. When they returned Mr. Taft
looked ds fresh as when he started. hun
Mr. Wickersham. who is not SO voIuminous
physically. appeared TO be somewhat
weary. The two separated at the gate OF
the White House.
"Goodby. Wickersham." said the Presi-
dent. waving hi hand I've enjoyed the
stroll immcnsely.'
Good night, Mr.. President" returned the
Attorney General, ''yoI certainly put me
through a strenuous two hours. but I've
relished every minute OF it,"
The President has astOnishcd his official
family 10y his sudden adoption OF pedes-
triauism. He walked through the streets
OF Washington last night accompanied only
by Captain Archibald Butt his military aid
and his stroll to-day likewise was unan-
nounced, and he was not followed by Sc
Crct Service men
President TAFT began the day By being
present at the special Thanksgiving SER
vices at St Patrick's Roman Catholic
rectory. \ special choir and added musical
features drew large congregation from
diplomatic and official circles.
