Washington, Aug. Republican leaders who crowded the east room of the white house today to hear President Tafts speech accepting the party's nomination for the presiden- cy were confident tonight that his ad- dress would be the real keynote" for the campaign and expressed the belief that it was one of the best speeches Mir.

 The ceremony itself was short and simple. The president and Senator Root spoke from a platform raised a few feet above the floor of the east room with the tresury and east ter race of the white mouse, with its blooming scarlet geraniums and it's tall waving green palms as back ground. Mrs. Taft, Mrs. Leonard Wood, wife of the chief of staff of the army; Mrs. Beekman Winthrop wife of the assistant secretary of the navy, and Mrs G. A. McClintock, the only women present, sat just below the platform, while around them in halfeircle were grouped members of the committee senators and con gressmen and other invited guests.

Summer Mourning Comfortable Yet
Correct

There IL no reason why the woman
In mourning should not be as com
Portable in her black garb as her
sister who revels In summary pastel
tints. The days OF stufty bomtazin
and wool mourning fabrics have

much more smartly dressed In her
trim. thin black than otnera in crum-
pied linens or carelessly lifting tub
frocks.
The wearer OF mourning will wisely
buy few well-mado things of very
best material rather than n quantity
OF cheaper clothes. for only the finest
materials are distinguished in black.
and 1t should always be kept in mind
that mourning wear. because II may
not make any appeal with charm OF
color, must be distinguished and eic-
CANT to be pleasing. There is no get
ting around the fact that 1t costs more
to dress In mourning than In colors.
but the mourning period is short, after
all. and most women prefer to expcnd
a little more at this time, taking ex-
cellont care o. the few clothes pur-
chased, than to go about looking
frump!sh or pitlable In cheap black.
There are certain conventions (which
must be observed If oncs mourning

The girl or woman who plans q
