Beautiful Picture on Lawn
Around the Receiving Line

Socially all the triumphs of the Presl-
dents in entertaining their own and the
nations guests were eclipsed last night
at the gathering brought together at the
invitation Of President and Mrs. Taft to
rejoice with them over the completion
of their quarter of century Of happy
married life. The occasion stands out
by itself since it combined with the old
world prodigality of emperors and kings
a feast for the eyes, delight for the
ear and the charm of companionship with
the country's notables present and future
looking on. Overhead the sky was over
east for a while. but before the guests
separated was dotted over with stars
adding just that last and most necessary
touch to a perfect event in the open.
The scene was one which excited {
new set of emotions, and everybody ha1
to draw upon their most complimentary
phrases to express them. 1t was Fairyland
but a new one to Washington eyes, and
perhaps fifty or sixty thousand eyes saw
it either within or without, or from some
aerie spot over head. close by or in the
distance.
Guests Arrive Early.
The assembling began early, as it al
ways does with a White House party,
and the first thousand guests had the
best picture, and carried away with them
the loveliest memory of the evening. En-
tering from the east terrace, one only
turned the bend of the lower wall before
a full glimpse Of the lovely scene could
be had. The lights were playing on the
fountains and trees. The carpet strip:
made a great parlor of the garden, as
well as a path for the guests. There
were dozens of white uniformed officer:
giving guidance to the advancing guests
All these. with the other special feature:
of the arrangements, could then be sepa
rately noted.
Appearance on the Portico.
little before o'clock a fringe OF
people outlined all the paths and formed
something of a great circle near the
south portico.
When the President and Mrs. Taft APP
peared at the head Of the steps leading
down from the west side of the portico,
their figures silhouetted against the
strons light back of them. with the white
shimmering softness of the silver brides
dress taking on the varied hues thai
played on it, the moment was one which
only comes once in a lifetime to the aver
age American.
That moment had parts to increase its
emotional side, for as the President and
his wife stood still to look over the
scene the band struck up THE Star
Spangled Banner" and the electric fiae
hanging from the cornice over their heads
fioated ablaze in red, white and blue.
Ahead of the couple walked the army
and navy aids. who, moving twenty PAGES

RACE SUICIDE CAUSED BY
RICH FOOD NOT WORK

Boston, Feb. 3.-That the increased
use of rich, starchy foods by women
is the real explanation of the evil
commonly called race suicide is the
statement of Mrs. Ellen H. Richards,
instructor in sanitary chemistry at
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. Mrs Richards believes that
women, when overfed, are less apt to
have children than when not so high
ly nourished. "Overwork," she says
bears the blame for the breakdowns
which are so common, but overworb
is almost impossible to the we'll nour
