The social charm Of the Heron fam
fly, to which Mrs. William IL. Taft be-
longs. has been demonstrated In the
grace and ease with which all OF
Mrs. Taft's three sisters have at times
acted In her place as the hostess or
the White House. The latest member
OF the family TO carry Off honors in
the difficult role OF deputy for the first
lady of the land is Mrs. Charles An
derson OF Cincinnati. who has relieved
Mrs. Taft by presiding at the state
dinners at the White House and by
representing her at ihe dinners given
by each OF the cabinet members IN
turn IN honor of the president. or
Mrs. Tafts three sisters. Mrs. Ander-

Mrs. Anderson shares Mrs. Tafts
Ideals OF hospitality and Is so thor

social aims as mistress of the White
House that she has been enabled to
carry out her wishes with the utmost
fidelity. Mrs. Taft and her sister have
been inseparable during the latters
visit. Strangers who pass them driv-
ing while taking a mornings constitu-
tional frequently remark the strong
family resemblance which is so mark
ed characteristic of the Herrons. In
the case of Mrs. Taft and Mrs. An

of manner and carriage than of fea-
ture.
Although Mrs. Taft delegated the
duties of dinner hostess to her sister,
she personally presided at the White
House receptions and has charmed all
Corners by her cordiality and gracious
ness and gratified her friends by the
rapid improvement In her health.
