Miss Taft Is Out!

Miss Helen Taft is out. The ac-
complished daughter of President
and Mrs. Taft appeared as a grown
up, eligible to all social activities,
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 So
ciety.
Although today's affair definitely
marked the boundary line between
girlhood and womanhood for the sue
cessor of Princess Alice, she has in
formally appeared at various other
social functions this autumn.
The white house debutante will be
a 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 as Mrs. Longs
worth was before her marriage Miss
Tafts social activities will be confin-
ed largely to the affairs of the young
er set of the national capital, a.
though she will appear at all white
house functions and will not shirk
the numerous social duties devolving
upon a daughter OF a president.
Tomorrow night Miss Taft will at
tend theatre party given in her
honor by Assistant Secretary OF War
and Mrs. Robert Shaw Oliver and
