The intimate relation came about pri-
marily because of the fact that when
the Taft brothers were little boys Aunt
Delia's" was their summer home.
Judge AlphOnsO Taft made his home in
Cincinnati, as his nOW-famOus son was
to do later until he took up his work Ia
the Philippines, but the second wife Or
the elder Taft, who had been Louisa
Maria TOrrey. found the summer eli
mate of Cincinnati very trying, and so
she adopted the plan of taking her chill
dren each summer TO the home of her
sister, the Aunt Della of today. Thus
William II. Taft spent all his early va

lions for him.
