free. The most elaborate balls and
receptions have been given by ambi-
tious and admiring friends In her
honor. No White House occupant has
ever been the recipient of more atten-
ton.
OF couree after her debut she re-
ceived at the White House functions
with her mother. During the coming
year her mother will not always be
with her. The winter program of re-
ceptions and dinners at the executive
mansion has already begun with the
dinner in honor of the cabinet, which
was held on December IA.
The New Years reception, as usual,
was the largest function of the season.
On Tuesday, January 9, the diplomatic
reception was held, followed on the
following Tuesday by the diplomatic
dinner. On every successive Tuesday
large receptions and dinners will be
held at which Miss Taft will have to
receive-frequently alone.
There will be judicial reception, the
Supreme court dinner, the congress
sional reception, the speakers dinner
and the famous army and navy recep-
ton,
Strenuous Social Duties.
These are only few of the moro
formal functions. There are nearly
always guests Of the Taft family at
the White House who have to be en-
tertained. Then there is the entertain
ing of her own friends, who compose
the exclusive younger set in Washing
ton. She will have to give at least
two dances for the debutantes Of the
present season, scores Of luncheons,
teas and dinners.
In addition she has to accept the in
vitations of many of her friends. It
is the ambition Of every debutante to
entertain the presidents daughter,
and the affairs given in her honor
would keep her busy from noon to
midnight every day without any Of
her strenuous social duties at the
White House.
One Of Miss Taft's newest activities
is her membership In "The Dancing
Glass;" composed of fifty Washing
ton social leaders, which has just
been organized. For twelve success.
sive Mondays there will be a gather
ing of the "class" at the Playhouse,
where plays acted by society people
are given each winter for charitable
enterprises.
Madame de Sibour Is president of
tho pow oroopf1otion MIRO proo+or
Gibson is vice-president and Preston
Gibson, the president Of the Play
house, is secretary. Naturally, as the
presidents daughter was one Of the
prime movers in the organization, the
1ist Of those invited to join the class
was subjected to careful scrutiny.
Among the members are Postmas.

AAS girl Of 1912 is Miss Helen
WV Taft, the eldest daughter of
the chief executive Of the
United States.
She ts virtually the mistress Of the
White House. OF course her mother
is the first lady Of the land, but Mrs.
Taft's frequent indispositions put the
burden Of the White House entertain
ing upon her daughter.
In fact, since her debut year ago
she has been more in the forefront OF
society than her mother and the next
twelve months will be far more siren
uous than her coming-out year.

Revival Meetings Growing

The attendance at the revival meet ings in the Bean Hill church is grow ing, and the indications are that it will continue to increase as the days advance Thursday evening Captain B. w. Wilbur of the Salavtion Army spoke to large and enthusiastic con- gregation on Clean Hearts. He said in part: King David had all the earthly treasures, in respect to wealth, honor and luxury that any man could wish for, but he was not happy. He knew that he had lot of influence on the peopye of his kingdom. and he knew that his heart was unclean. If a mans s heart is unclean the influence that he exerts on others is not good, but it evil so David asked God to give him a clean heart, that he would be able to help his people.
 Lust, greed and pride make a mans heart unclean and cause him to spread an evil influence among his friends. People should not even let the thought of sin rest on their minds, for a man that harbors murerdous thoughts is as evil as a man who commits the act, in the eyes of God.
 After the sermon 12 of the congrs- gation came forward asking for saliva ton and for help in cleaning their hearts This makes a total of 50 per sons who have made a confession oi their love for God this week The captain expects a large attendance this (Friday) evening and urges every ons to attend if possible.
