NJ RS. TAFT.

There will be keen regret that the
Presidents wife is again suffering
from a nervous attack similar to that
OF 1909. II has been said that Presi.
dent Taft never would have entered
the White House had IL not been for
Mrs Taft's ambition. II so. her sen.
siuve temperament is paying the pen.
atty for her own desire for achieve.
ment
In no sphere OF her life has Mrs
Tart been satisfied with the bounds in
which ordinary people find content.
ment for their placid activities. II a
road did not seem to be getting any,
where. she would climb the fence.
In the Philippines. when Mr.. Taft
was governor-general. there is a suspi.
cion that her velvety social touch had
about as much to do in softening the
Little Brown Brother as the rough
blows OF our soldiers.
After a Filipino had run his legs
on in the swamps with our soldiers
an hour or two behind him. his views
on Independence were quite pro-
nounced. After Mrs. Taft had deposit
ed some lemon tea and pink waters in
his clamoring interior. and had asked
him 10 come around and sit on the
piazza while the band played. his Do
hdeal views were apt to undergo
some modification.
Instead OF contenting herself n
Washington in the usual manner
with dispensing mere social rule
Mrs. Taft has had her hands full with
outside betterment work. She has
served. for instance. on tho welfare
and sanitation committees Of the Ma
tional Civic Federation. one recent
achievement was getting decent ven
tilation for the census Office workers
Few people realize the strain i'm
posed by social ambitions on the
Presidents wife. Washington IS a
whirlpool OF social climbing. Social
successes count more than elsewhere
New congressmen's wives come bound
ing In. confident Of invitations 10 din
ner at the White House. Their
aspirations sink 70 bitterness when
they find that their husband has about
as much 70 do with the government as
the newspaper boy has with running
a railroad train. The Presidents
wife must soften acrimonies and pour
sunshine on the storm OF disappoiut-
ed ambitions
People who know Mrs Taft speak
Of her highly strung and sensitive
personality. with its more tender side
screened by the most perfect poise
that culture and knovledge ~ the big
worlds manners can give. But the
frailty Of woman's physique IS the
weak point in 80 delicate an organism.
and this has given way now. let us
hope only temporarily.

KNITTING AN ERMINE.
Cold Trick That Traps the Shy Little
Fur Prize.

You are doubtless aware that the
ermine of which your muff Is made
has been the emblem of royalty almost
since ROYALTY began, in Russia, until
very recent years, its use being for
hidden to those not of noble birth. But
l wonder If you are likewise aware
that it is brother, or at least hrst
cousin. to the weasel. Ermlne, as a
matter of fact, is nothing more thah
the weasel or common stoat in its
northern coat. for. like other arctic
and subarctic animals, the weasel turns
white in winter in order that 1t may be
as inconspicuous as possible In its en-
vironment of ice and snow. Yet so
abnormally keen Of sight are the 81
berian trappers that they can dist1n-
guish at almost incredible distances
the little black tip of the ermines
tail as it whisks across the dazzling
plains.
1t is very shy, is the ermine, and
special snares must be devised by the
trapper to avoid injuring the delicate
skin. Even the smallest of the steel
traps are lou utdNy ioi SUN eAHJ ~AAA
mails as these, and here it is that the
trapper's fertility of resource is most
strikingly displayed. Smearing little
grease on his hunting knife, he lays 1t
across the succession of dots and
dashes which show that an ermine has
passed that way. Along comes the
tiny white form on its erratic course
again. The grease appeals to 1t, ana
it begins to lick the knife blade
which in those far northern lands,
where the mercury drops to 20, 30, 40
degrees below zero, is inconceivably
cold. Did you never as a child on
winters morning put your tongue TO
some piece of metal only to find that
it did not easily come away? So 1t Is
then with the ermine. whose tiny red
tongue is instantly frozen to the steel
as though with glue. The knife being
too heavy for the little animal to
carry off, it can only wait until the
trapper comes upon his rounds, and
you, my lady, have muff OF snowy
unmarried skins..E. A. Powell, +. *.
