Miss Taft is leading the way in a
social movement against misunderstanding

where bridCe may be enjoyed from morn
until eve, a sign is i'm evidence requesting
members not to smoke during the game. A
Jew young girls who have the reputation
of being fond of the weed have been ig-
nored when the fetes for Miss Taft have
been arranged, and there Is a general wave
Of reform in official society The women
who compose the foreign set in Washing
ton have already been accustomed TO
smoking, but even they do it much less
publicly this winter than ever before, Last
winter Baroness Won Hengelmuller wife Of
the Austro-H Hungarian ambassador at
present dean Of the corps, had a smoking
room for the fair ones at her Saturday
evening receptions. Those who played
bridge, whether men or women, smoked at
their will But this year all is changed.
There is even talk Of disseminating the
Sunday dinners and receptions.
Because Miss Taft embro.ders her own
collars and says so with much pride. all
the girls in her set are also max ng dainty
dress accessories. Miss Alice Boutell
