THE PRESIDENTS GUESTS
Mayor and Mrs. Gaynor Among
Those on MayfloWer.

The President. standing on the bridge
OF the Mayhower, reviewed yesterday. the
combined Atlantic and reserve fleets Of
the navy, the feet of torpedo boat de-
stroyers, the hotilla Of torpedo boats and
their auXiliaries.
Mr.. Taft sent a special invitation to
Mayor Gaynor, who, with Mrs. Gaynor
and their young daughter, was a guest
OF the President and Mrs. Taft through
out the review, 10 80 on top OF the chart
house. where the view was very fine.
The Mayor. closely followed by a police
officer In uniform, stood with some of the
other guests in this position OF vantage
until the feet had passed.

mander Leigh Palmer, aid TO Secretary

There was less formality about the cere-
monies on the Maytower yesterday than
the day before, full honors being cX-
tended only 10 the Secretary Of the Navy,
the Postmaster General and the com
aboard and AT their departure, and even I'm
these instances no salutes were fired.
The guests OF the President and Mrs
Taft were practically the same as yester-
day. except that Mayor Gaynor and his
family and F.. T. Stotesbury. Of Philadel-
phia, were added 10 the number, while
the foreign naval officers were not pres
cnt
As soon as all the guests were on board
the Mayhower weighed anchor and slipped
quietly down 10 her reviewing post, near
Bellows Island. followed by the Dolphin
and the Nashville. when the anchor
again was dropped the President ascend
ed 10 the bridge and remained there until
the last tiny submarine had passed out
To sea.
To some Of his friends the President re-
marked that no one who had not been in
a foreign country could appreciate to the
full the satisfaction It afforded an Amerl-
can TO see such gallant fleet flying the
American flag, nor could one who had not
been abroad appreciate fully, either. the
impression such an assemblage OF lighting
ships, each so suggestive OF power, yet
each under such perfect control. would
make on foreigners. many OF whom
have too long regarded the United States
naval warfare.
When the review was over the President
and Mrs. Taft entertained their guests at
buffet luncheon, after which they came
ashore, going to the Holland House.

How Country Girl Taught Real
Culture to BOstOnians.

In the November Woman's Home
Companion, Rollin Lynde HART re-
lates how he and his wife, Bostoni-
ans, prepared to teach culture to
Beth, an 1S-year-old country girl,
who was coming to Boston to spend
the winter acquiring culture" Fol-
lowing is an extract:
Naturally, we were somewhat
slow about opening up on Beth. We
waited for chance of opening up
opportunely, for we detest the
'teachy-teachy' attitude as cordially
as we expected Beth to. The chance
came soon enough. Mrs. Cam
panyle' Burbank dropped in for a
chat with Eleanor over the teacups,
and while we were at dinner tonight
Beth asked us why we called Mrs.
'Campanyle' by such funny name
" Tell it, JIM! said Eleanor, and
l did. Several years ago, when the
beautiful Venetian towed collapsed,
Mrs. Burbank was heard to wall,
with real tears in her eyes, oh, it's
just too awfully dreadful to lose that
lovely, lovely Cam-pa-nyle! This
was quite scandal in our set, where
we thought everybody in Boston said
Comp and Mrs. Burbank
has been under a cloud since then.
The nickname still sticks.
"We intended the story as warn
ing to Beth, and as first lesson in
culture. Beth saw the joke, Of
course, but she saw what we had
failed to see. She looked at me pro-
testingly for half a moment, then
burst out, Why, Uncle jim, the
tears! You say there were real
tears!'
Neither Eleanor nor had appre-
ciated the true grandeur of Mrs.
'Campanyle' Burbank till that in
stant. Yes. those had been real
tears, and, so far as I could recol-
lect, not one of the people who had
said 'Com-pa-nee-leh' with such
pride in their correctness had wept
over the exquisite towers destruc-
tion. Despite her barbarous mispro-
nunciation and all 1t implied, she had
