auspicious day for the President, for.

on June 1s, just four years ago. It
was matter OF great hope among the

| that history might repeat itself yester-
/ day. kilograms Of congratulations and
| scores OF cards and letters were received
all day, and in fact, began to be received
the day before. Mrs. Taft did not re-
ceiYe visitors, however. There was an
\ air Of joyousness all over the mansion.
and the Blue Room bore the signs OF the
! remembrances OF friends and relatives.

as Master Charley Taft has not yet re-
| turned from his uncle's school in Con-
