xAnb Presidents the obligation to S36lS celebrate the holidays in a ] ~ manner to emphasize the
 S best traditions of American
 domestic life. the families of the President and of the Ex-president have more than met their obligations. No where is Christmas simpler ex- pression of goodwill and merriment and the genuine sentiment of the sea son, than it is within the walls of the White House. Every Christmas, when Roosevelt was President, the doors opened wide at holiday time to wei come home from college the sons and daughters and their friends invited to spend the Yuletide at the gay social hub of the nations capitol, and the same doors have swung wide to admit the Taft brood and their many friends.
 The Tafts look forward to the holi days with particular pleasure because often in the past circumstances did not permit of a complete family re- union at Christmas time. Sometimes it was the father who was absent, dur ing the period when Taft was Gov ernor of the Philippines or engaged in his extensive travels; often it was one of the children, when they were attend ing widely separated schools in the United States. Then, too, the Tafts lived great deal in hotels and rented houses, so that Christmas in the White House has the added joy of being, so to speak, under their own roof tree.
 In few weeks now the children will begin to return from college for two weeks of festivities. Robert, the eld- est, will come from Yale, Miss Helen from Philadelphia, where she attends Bryn Mawr, and Charlie, the youngest of the family, from Connecticut, where he is a pupil in his uncle's school If the Christmas publications assume any formal tone it is safe to say that Cheerful Charlie" as he is called, may be counted upon to infuse enthusi- asm and spontaneity into all proceed ings. He is a great favorite about the executive mansion, but is quite un- spoiled.
 Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Taft's sister, who has been at the White House almost constantly during the present admin istration, will DO doubt be one of the
