made all the daughters one with their
husbands.
Although receiving first mention in the
social columns, it was a quiet wedding,
and the same policy of Withholding the

adopt for White House hospitalities was
observed. No wedding presents were de-
scribed, not even the inevitable gift of
the groom nor was the public taken into
the familys confidence in regard to items
of menu or trousseau. As one chronicler
put it, the bride was Ito the manor born :

a quarter before . o'clock was the hour

Taft families and few intimate friends.
The bride was attired in a superbly
fashioned satin robe with embroidered

Backed Him Up in
Fight for Straw Hat

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, June q. 1911.
THERE is a very idiotic unwritten law
over here that straw hats must not
be donned until June TO- or worn after
September Is. This bug rule has been
in vogue ever since volunteer fremen
were running to blazes in this town. No
body knows just why such a fool rule
should be. As a matter OF fact it is a
common thing for at least one of the hot
test spells OF summer to pop in New
York long before June H. as, for in
stance. the blazing five or six days that
swung along here IN mid-May.
A lot of Independent chaps. who don
like to let imbeciles make rules for them
that interfere with their personal COM
fort. went and staked themselves to straw
hats during that hot spell. All Of them
resoIutely stood the ridicule of the poor
boneheads. themselves suffering scan
dalously from the impact of their hot
derbies, who clung to the June IL rule
for putting on straw lids; ard several of
them had to fight for the privilege OF
being comfortable like sane hun an
beings
One of these independent ones put up
a fight that | myself happened to see.
1t on the first red-hot day of that
blazing spell This man was on his way
to the ball game, as was i. (No. mine
wasn't a derby; 1t was a silly compro-
mise in the form of a soft hat) He had

riety The subway car was jammed with
base ball bugs, and bunch of them be-
gan, first to tease, and then to grab at,
the man with the straw hat.
He stood the tormentings of these ivory
domed pests good-naturedly enough for A
while. But l could see that his dander
was climbing like sap in a Vermont ma
pie tree. Finally, when one teakwood-
topped idiot in the bunch made a grab
to pull the straw hat from his head, the
man wearing 1t jumped up and became
as busy as seven bird dogs. He grabbed
the grabber by the scruff of the neck

A coincidence OF blood as well as OF

Of the Hayes the only invited guests
outside of the Presidents official family,
were persons closely associated with his

this process of selection one of the chief

attorney. one OF the few witnesses or the
Hayes wedding before the war and also
the law partner of President Hayes

w, Heron gave the hand of his daugh-

tie course of the nuptials whose silver an
niversary is now about TO fall. Another
name upon the list of guests hidden to the
Hayes silver wedding was that of AL
phorso Taft, the father of our present
executive.

H. Taft from Yale and while he was both

Comparing the often faded little pic
lures with the almost speaking" like
nesses of some, 1t appears remarkable
that such splendid work could have been
accomplished until one realizes that some
of the best portrait painters OF the couh,

return was small there is great honor, of
the sort artists crave, in being repre-
sented by a signature in such an as
sembiage.
And, in a few instances the work was

tionship between painter and subject
This is true of the scholarly. natural
and singularly pleasing painting of former
President James X Polk, one time Speak
er of the House. While the library CON-
mittee had entire charge of selecting the
artists it gave over the privilege to con-
gressional committees from the states
formerly the homes of the nineteen
Speakers. Wherever 1t was possible
these representatives selected an artist
who was a native or resident OF their re-
spective localities and when, as in the
case of Miss Rebecca Polk. the artist
was both relation and capable worker
IN oils, the choice was most happy.
Miss Polk is one of the five women to

She is a grandniece OF the President
whose portrait was so unaccountably left

of the late Edward Everett Hale. who re-
