Presidents Daughter Is in Society.

Washington, December Miss Hell
en- Taft is having her coming out
party. The accomplished daughter of
President and Mrs. Taft appeared as a
grown-up, eligible to all social activi-
ties, for the first time this afternoon.
The occasion was a tea given by Mrs.
Taft at the White House, when Miss
TAFT was formally presented to society.
Although today's affair definitely
marked the boundary line between
girlhood and womanhood for the sue
ccsor of Princess Alice, she has in
formally appeared at various other So
cial functions this autumn.
The White House debutante will be
much feted young woman this win
ter, although her more quiet and re-
served temperament will probably
serve to prevent her from becoming a
popular idol such az Mrs. Longworth
was before her marriage. Miss Taft's
social activities will be confined largely
to the affairs of the younger set of the
national capital, although she will appear
at all White House functions and will
not shirk the numerous social duties
devolving upon a daughter of a presi-
dent
Tomorrow night Miss Taft will at
tend theatre party given in her
honor by Assistant Secretary of War
and Mrs. Robert Shaw Oliver and Miss
Oliver. On Dec. -l3 Rear Admiral and
