She was the famous Nellie Grant. Her
successor, Miss Plat, a niece of Presi-
dent Hayes, was not SO well known.
The Roosevelt ~debutantes, Miss Alice
and Miss Ethel, are matters of recent
history.
Of course Miss Taft is no longer a
debutante. This is her second season
and before long the announcement Of
her engagement is looked for. Miss
Taft is popular not only because of
her position but because Of her charm
ing personality. She is not a beauti-
ful girl, but she is a good type.
Slightly more than five feet eight
inches in height, with clear blue eyes
and thick hair of q luxurious golden
brown, she attracts attention wherev-

Miss Taft has signified her intention
OF attending every meeting Of the
CLASS"
Her round Of dinners and receptions
in Washington has not caused Miss
Taft to lose interest in her college
days and associates. She will have
several of her schoolmates visit her
at the White House during the winter,
and of course social functions will be
given in their honor.
For a brief rest from her strenuous
life in Washington she will spend a
weekend or two at Bryn Mawr. But
practically all her days will be taken
UP with entertaining or being enter
tanned, all of which is as much in the
line OF duty for a fair White House Oc-
cupant as writing messages to con
gress is for the chief executive.
The big formal receptions and din
ners, no matter how brilliant, soon
become arduous even for the most en-
thusiastic mistress of the White
House. Miss Taft's round of gayety"
is pretty much hard work and the lit
tie informal luncheons with her girl
friends are about the only affairs
which r apt to be entirely pleasur-
able.
Besides all this there are hundreds
of persons who have to be presented,

sWer, numerous engagements with
modistes and milliners, for she has al
ways to be gowned in the height of
fashion and she must have a large
array of finery. Of course the ETH
quette at the White House is not as
severe as at a European court, but it's
restrictions are enough to be felt by
a lively American girl of twenty. Her
life is strenuous and exacting, to say
the least.
Has Ability to Stand the Strain.
If Miss Taft were not an excellent
type Of an attractive, up-to-date Amer
lean girl she would never be able to
stand the strain. It is always past
midnight and frequently much later
before she is able to retire.
1t is after nine before she is awak-
ened in the morning md a walk With
some of her friends, an automobile
ride or a horseback ride with her
father takes up the remainder Of the
time until she has to dress for lunch

White House debutantes have
graced many administrations and have
been responsible for much of the gay
ETY. of the national capital.
The first was the buXom Anne JEFF
ferson Randolph, daughter of Thomas
Jefferson's favorite daughter, Martha
Randolph. Then came Miss Maria
Monroe, who was the first bride at the
White House. She was succeeded by
petite Alice Tyler, who gave up her
belleship to Mary Abigail Fillmore.
The old timers in Washington soci-
ETY. will remember the glories of the
debutante days of Miss Harriet Lane,
the niece Of President Buchanan, who
entertained the young prince Of
Wales, afterward Edward VII.
D%ebutantes of Other Days.
, In the Lincoln regime two debu-
tantes were presented, Miss Edwards
and Miss Mary Wallace. The Johnson
administration also had a debutante

a Miss Still Of Tennessee.

OF course after her debut she re
ceived at the White House functions

ening. Six months, revealing to her
both in their own intimate relations
and in what she learned of his other

band, sufficed to transform her into a
cold, self contained woman of an acid
ulous cynicism startling in one of her
years. 1t, was the weakness of the
man more than his immortality that
repelled her. She herself came of an
active, sturdy stock whose virility and
power of resistance had not been de-
stroyed by generations Of self indul-
gence. Her experience discovered to
her the existence of inherited ideals
heretofore dormant in her. In the ap-s
