Garfield. Arthur and Cleveland-whose
daughters were all mere children.
The only President to present two I'M
married daughters to society was Col.
Roosevelt. and both of them were under
eighteen when they made their debuts,
whereas Miss Taft is now nineteen When
Col. Roosevelt Unexpectedly assumed
office it was announced that his eldest
daughter was only child. SO society
counted little on knowing her for several
only few months. however. when, at the
beginning OF the first social season under
the Roosevelt regime, the young belle
was formally presented at grand ball
held in the east room January 3.
1902. With the exception of the members
of the cabinet and r. latives of the Roose-
velts. the 700 invitations were issued to
young people, there being three times as
many beaux as bellies present-this being
arranged SO that every young woman
might be assured Of a partner for
each dance. The great east room, where
James and Dolly Madison led their stately
minuets. was stripped of its heavy car
pct and covered with waxed linen crash.
The guests who had been invited at 10
o'clock, filed into the historic ballroom
after being received in the blue parlor by
Miss Roosevelt and her mother. At II
O'Clock the full Marine Band struck up
waltz, The Debutante," the first on a
program Of twenty numbers, and shortly
after midnight buffet supper was held
in the old state dining room. Six weeks
later Miss Alice Roosevelt celebrated her
eighteenth birthday. but had she post
poned her debut until then Lent would
have been close upon her, and. the heart
of the social season would have been
missed.

weeks later to christen the kaiser's

Having more leisure than most wom-
en-, have been devoting much Of my time
to studying certain phases of social and
economic questions. There is the servant
question, which is proving a heart break
to the entire race of American women.
The time has passed when it was a joke.
1t is now menace. The present condi-
ton Is one that needs attention from the
hiehest authorities of the country Some
thing must be done to preserve the home
and that something is to inquire into the
reasons why the entire American nation
is bereft of servants. At present a wom-
en- who tries to maintain a home has the
courage of a lion. She makes herself a
drudge. and. il she performs her work
even partially. she must be numbered
among those who are always working
overtime. non-union laborer, as it Were.
AS a result. women of means are closing
their homes and going to apartments or
hotels. Many are leaving the country
The middle class bear the burden as long
as possible, and then they solve the prob
lens in various ways-fiat houses mostly
but with resulting bad health and gen.
eral unha ppness.
Some Of our statesmen talk very boldly
about the home and its sacred obliea-
tons. and it is quite the fad to abuse
flats and boarding houses. l think half
of the country would be in the insane
asylum II there were not the relief Of
getting away from the grind for a time.
Conditions all over the country seem the
same. Having means to pay for serv-
ant seems now like having gold galore in

from her childhood she has been interest
ed in the making of books from the
mechanical standpoint. and that she
learned the art at her earliest oppor-
tunity. She has gathered treasures OF
artists binding in every land. and one OF
her fads is to look UP in odd hooks
and corners unique materials and colors
for her craft. She is also devotee OF
music. 1t was her intention to become
a professional musician. and she had al
ready prepared herself for this career
when failing health compelled her to re-
nounce her ambition.
Since her marriage Mrs. Bourne has
made two tours Of the world and every
year she takes a little run into foreign
parts. Since his public duties became
rather onerous, Senator Bourne has not
been able to accompany his wife every
year. But they have travelled together
many times, and both consider this the
most compromising method of spending

when Gen. Taylor's death occurred she
had scarcely completed the course
which was to qualify her as teacher.
A rather stupid time of it for girl
seems to have had when she first came
to live at the White House. To begin
with. the family was in mourning for
an aunt. Then her mother fell into
poor health. and there was little gayety
around the old mansion during the
time that this girl lived there. It is
recalled that she gave delightful
musicals: that she played on the piano.

She caught cold on the day when
Franklin Pierce succeeded her husband,
and she died within the month. Then.
a little more than a year later. and
when she was only twenty-five, Mary
Fillmore followed her mother to the
grave. having been stricken with
cholera while on visit to her grand
father.
A much gayer time had been enjoyed by
pretty Elizabeth Tyler. the White House
belle who reigned before Mary Fillmore.
She was one of four sisters, two married
and the other a child: and when their
father succeeded to the presidency he
called them all together for a bit Of
sermon.

receiving from Prince Henry the en-
peror's token of thanks-a golden bracelet
bearing the royal portrait studded with
her debut Princess Alice as this pop
ular and spirited girl was called, en-
joyed round OF gayety such as no other
American girl has ever shared. The most
costly balls in the annals of social his
tory were given in her honor. among
these the famous seventy-fve-thousan
dollar cotillon by Lieut.. Stirling Clarke,
stepson of Bishop Potter. where the IA
vors were all of gold and jewels, while
the supper was prepared by the most
famous chefs of New York and conveyed
to Washington on special train. One
newspaper published statistics stating
that in the first fifteen months of her
social career Miss Alice had attended
afternoon teas. at which she had shaken
hands with $1,000 people. Within the
same time she had paid LOO calls At
the end of the fourth season she sailed
with Secretary Taft on the famous tour
Of Hawaii, Japan and the Philippines,
from which she returned with twenty
three cases CT presents. on which she had
to pay duty of 81 ,206. But it was on
this tour that the most famous of all
daughters of the White House abdicated
her belleship and promised to become the
wife of Nicholas 1ongworth the young
millionaire representative from Cincin-
natl. whom she married five days after
her twenty-second birthday, her reign
in the White House having lasted four
years one month and fifteen days.
When she was married in the east room
her half-sister Ethel was only fourteen.
Indeed. Miss Ethel did not reach her
seventeenth birthday until the summer OF
Mr.. Tafts nomination to succeed her
father. So in her case, as in that of her
sister Alice, a debut had to be arranged
before her eighteenth birthday. So she
reigned in the White House for just one
brief season that falling between Mr..
Taft's election and his inauguration. She
and Miss Helen Heron Taft. her success
sor, were about the same age had been
