IN THE WORLD Of SOCIETY
ALL DUBLIN ATTENDS RECEP-
TON TO MIR. AND MRS. TAFT.
Mrs. Macveagh Invited Fashionable
Colonists, Farmers and Town Folk.
Personal Notes.

President Taft returned to Beverly last
evening" having completed his most sue
cessful automobile tour OF $50 miles In
two days, without accident, and with
nothing to mar the pleasure OF his Visit
to Mr. MacVeagh. the Secretary OF the
Treasury. at Dublin, y. II.
In several respects the trip of the Presf-
dent was unique. 1t had been intended
that he should visit Mr.. and Mrs. Mac
veagh quietly, and remain practically In
seclusion. Mrs. MacVeagh vetoed the
suggestion of her husband. and obtained
the consent of the President and Mrs.
Taft to give a reception for them.
Then in the most democratic way she
had engraved cards for the event Satur-
day evening and sent an invitation to
each head of a household in Dublin. This
included not only the fashionable summer
colonists, but also the residents, farmers,
storekeepers, mechanics, chauneurs ana
gardeners. AS a result everybody went TO
the beautiful home of the Secretary and
the place was crowded with an assemblage
such as had never been brought together
before.
Fashionably dressed women, wearing
costly Jewels were there and so were the
good housewives of the town. Each head
of family brought every member OF his
household, as he was invited TO do, and at
the opening of the reception nearly one
hundred little girls had the right OF me
and were the first to greet the PRESIDENT
of the United States and Mrs. Taft.
II was all very pleasant and democratic.
Capt Archibald Butt made the intro
auctions, first to the President, then 10
Mrs Taft after which the guests passed
down the lire and shook hands with Gov.
and Mrs. Quinby and Secretary and
Mrs. Macveagh. Mrs. Taft. who is re-
gaining her health. had stood the journey
to Dublin by automobile very well and
she remained in line until all Duolln mao
shaken her by the hand.
The President and Mrs. Taft accom-
panied by Mr.. MacVeagh, yesterday at
tended services at the Unitarian Churcn
at Dublin and listened to a sermon by the
Rev. Josiah Seward Of keene, n. ii. AS
the President entered the congregation
sang America" There was nothing in
the sermon touching on the visit of the
President.
The start for Beverly was made few
minutes after 3 o'clock. The return was
| by Groton and Concord. and at every
| hamlet in New Hampshire the entire
population was out In Sunday clothes,
waving the American flag as the Presi-
dent passed by. The greetings TO .lim
were hearty and indicated that very
great interest and pride We're taken In
this his first, visit to that portion OF the
state.
With several important racing and
sporting events scheduled and an elab-
borate program OF social entertain
ments prepared. Saratoga Springs. ex-
meets that the four remaining days of
the so-called season" will surpass in
brilliance any that have gone before.
