past summer he introduced her to an
other new experience, a cruise on the
presidential yacht Sylph which was
her first voyage on a boat of any kind
in all her long life.
The fondness of President Taft for
Miss Torrey and her stately home at
Millbury, Mass, is the more readily
understood when it is explained that
the old homestead in the little village
in central Massachusetts, house
that has been home to Miss Torrey
ever since she was six years Of age
was the boyhood home Of William H.
Taft and his brothers. Mrs. Taft,
mother Of the president, always found
the climate of Cincinnati very trying
in summer and accordingly it became
her custom to take the children and
spend the entire heated term each
year with her only sister In the home
stead at Millbury. No wonder that

In addition to her other accomplish
ments Aunt Della writes clear legi-
bile hand and she has plenty of prac-
tise in penmanship for she receives
heavy volume Of mail now that her
nephew's praise has made her known
by reputation to the great American
public. Many Of the letters that como
to Miss Torrey contain requests for
her favorite recipes, particularly those
that embody her formulas for the
vaunted apple pies. Aunt Della de-
clares that some of the recipes that
have been attributed to her had no
such origin, but she smiles indulgently
at the disposition to make her an
oracle for Yankee housewives who
would reach the masculine heart
through the stomach.

STORY OF SHIRTS

What is the best war speech you
ever made in your life?" said friend
the other day to Capt Joe Waters.
Il never made but one good war
speech in my life," he replied. And
that was when kissed the girls good
by and left with my company for the
camp of instruction. Find friends gave
me this and that with their farewells,
and when the train pulled out, as It
whirled around the bend and the last
waving handkerchief vanished from
sight, We sat down and began making
an inventory of our effects. A white
satin lined pincushion, with the name
of the giver inside; a model housewife,
with two kinds of scissors. thimble,
needle, shirt and pants buttons, hooks
and eyes, cotton tapes, recipes for
stomach ache and cholera morbus. GRO

full pound and one-half Of black patent
thread in hanks-bless their dear
souls! Another housewife just like
the first; thimble, six pairs of socks,
four woolen scarfs; another house
wife,-another-and another, a Bible,
seven towels and can of Jelly. a
dozen f1lagree worked napkins and an
other can Of jelly.
MY recollection Is that all of the
other boys were served In the same
manner, and got about the same amount
of these contraptions. While it may be
that my memory is faulty, yet for the
life of me I cannot tell what became
of all those flxin's. But l remember

Mrs. 1rious' Speech.

II brevity is the soul of wit, one OF
the wittiest speeches on record was
made by a woman. Mrs. Briggs lived
in the northern part of Indiana, a long
distance from any village. Hearing
that the Rev. Mr.. Goodwin was to
preach in a township some twenty
miles distant, she resolved to be pres
ent. and as no other way offered. she
walked the twenty miles.
The pastor heard of this and was
so pleased at the appreciation which
1t showed that at the close of the ser
mon he mentioned the fact to the con-
gregation, and called upon Mrs. Briggs
to tell them how she came.
Rising slowly, she looked over the
audience with great solemnity. and

all the world like a circus getting of

idea Of war. She imagined her hus-
band would put up over night at the
best hotels, and would have the bene-
fit OF wash lists and laundries. But
that shirt was born to no such des-
tiny. 1t was never to know a wash
woman, or to be soused into a tub.
And speaking of shirts, some fair
and patriotic girl who was a member
of Dorcas society, made shirt to

she and her friend and he and HIS
