mothers have to make their daughters
practice, she might perhaps have had
ambitions in regard to music, for she
always loved it passonately.
She said she remembered playing once
for a gifted teacher who listened to her
with much interest, seemingly. but
when she finished he exclaimed in
voice of despair, IF ! had had you
when you were younger l believe l
could have made musician of you, but
you play as though you had always
played-but never practiced!
Pre-eminently Mrs. Hughes is what
would be termed a home woman as
her interests center there. but she has
views lof her own on all questions of
interest. She was recently asked whom
she considered the greatest of Amer
lean women. She replied that that de-
pended entirely upon the meaning CIV
en- to the word "great''-that there were
many great women in America, but
great in different lines of activities.
The woman who had influenced her
own life most. and SO to her the great
est of women, was Alice Freeman Pal
mer, the revered president of Wellesley
College. Mrs. Hughes has always re-
circumstances of her life that during
the two years she was al Wellesley Mrs.
Palmer was at the head of the college.
One of her classmates there was Miss
Mcdonald, the principal of the Cathe-
dral School, from which Justice and
Mrs Hughes daughter. Miss Catherine,
was graduated last month.
IN order to take up a special line or
study Mrs. Hughes lost year at
Wellesley, and then, finding it dlfhcult
to arrange her studies satisfactorily
she decided not to return to complete
a full collegiate course-a decision she
has often regretted since. However,
soon after this young Lawyer Hughes,
who was i'll her fathers office, began
crowding all thoughts of all things else
from her mind, and at high noon one
December day-the 5th, TO be eXact-ln
1885, they were married.
1t was a quiet home wedding at her
fathers residence on Brooklyn avenue,
BROOKLYN. The bridegrooms father
performed the ceremony. and only the
Immediate family friends We're pres
ent. Their married life has been so
ideal that We're one writing an old
fashioned novel he might end 1t right
here with the well remembered sem
tence They lived happily ever aft
erward.
AS the story is not ending, it must
be added that the young couple took
up their residence in New York, and
in that city their son was born. Miss
Helen came into the world on Founders
day, at Ithaca, while her father occu-
pied the chair of law at Cornell. Miss
GATHERINGS birthplace was at Twilight
Park, in August of 1900 Little Miss
Elizabeth has the distinction of having
been born in the governors mansion
at Albany-at the time the only child
of a chief executive of the state who
had that honor.
Mrs. Hughes has a charming per-
sonality and makes friends readily.
There is a world of latent power in
her dignifed quiet demeanor, and her
mobile face is undoubtedly the index
of the woman. She has the clearest

are several of the presidential nominee.
Two represent him before he reached
his teens, and there is fine picture of
him when he graduated from Brown.
There are pictures. also. of Mr.. and Mrs
Hughes just before their marriage and
of both of them in childhood.
Mrs. Hughes picture shows her in
girlish loneliness and is charming.
There is a delightful picture OF Mr..
Hughes when he was about six years
old. In it he sits at the side of his min
isterial sire, with his mother, in spread
ing hoop skirts, standing at their right.
The picture shows the classical fea-

figure Then she has that most excel
lent quality in woman, a voice sweet.
gentle, low; and there is a poise about
her that suggests a rare absence of
nerves.
Mr. Hughes did not enter school early,
and his accomplished mother laid the
firm. well grounded foundation upon
which he built his subsequent educa-
ton. 1t was his mother who gave him
his love of reading. Little wonder that
he could run through a novel day at
Brown and yet carry on his studies
successfully. for in that early training
at home he had read all of the stories
of Shakespeare before he entered his
teens. From his rugged Welsh father
he inherited his rigi& sense of right
and wrong-and the father had the sat
isfaction of living to see his son put
his principles into execution in the
highest office within the gift of his ma
tive state

A few months before she died she read

shines in the little girls face. while
that of the faithful Sarah is beaming
with pride. When Antoinette was three
years old her father remarked, but the
second wife lived less than a year.
AT Mrs Carriers death her sister,
Mrs. William J. Bridges of Baltimore,
who was visiting the family at the
time, persuaded Mr.. Carter to allow her
to take little Antoinetfe for q few
bonths' visit-"few months" which
for the little girl, and for the fond
uncle and aunt, in whose attractive
home she became such an important
factor. To placate the absent father
Mrs. Bridges often dressed wee
Antoinette in her best ribbons and fur
bellows and had her picture taken" to
send him.
Mrs Hughes still recalls with what
dread she viewed these visits at the
photographers, but present day readers
owe Mrs. Bridges deep debt of graft
tude in that they can now see the the
quaint pictures of the little miss in her
sashes and hair ribbons, and in all the
glory of her beruffied pantalettes.
Her uncle cGntended that Antoinette's
father should have a more everyday
picture OF MS little daughter, ana one
morning when she was at play making
mud pies he came by, and, picking her
up, carried her to the photographer ex-
actly as she was; the photograph which
Mr.. Bridges always designated as his
mud pie picture"
After Mr. Carriers third marriage and
the re-establshment of his household
in Brooklyn little Antoinette returned
to his home and took up her studies at
Packers Institute. Later she entered
Wells College and studied there three
years, and from there she went to
Wellesley College, where she remained
two years.
One afternoon recently when Mrs.
Hughes was speaking of her school ex-
periences she was asked II in those
days she had any special ambition for
life-if, like most school girls, she
dreamed of a career" She was sit
ting in the drawing room of her spa
cious home on 18th street and the wide
SPREADING trees at the east of the house
gave a delightful vista of green from
the windows.
She looked out at the swaying boughs
dreamily for a moment as though re-
tracing those girlhood days. but she
shook her head smilingly and declared
that she had not: that had her mother
lived. to have made her practice as all

II has been suggested that some
thing be done by the Scouts of Will
mington to protect the birds Of this
vicinity and help them to increase.
This could readily be accomplished
II each Scout pledged himself not
TO harm or molest any birds or their
nests with which he comes in con-
tact. and to encourage them to his
home by erecting bird houses. food
tables, baths. etc. Also use his in
fluence to lengthen the closed seasons
for birds which are now becoming
rare. The combined efforts of a few
earnest Scouts would in a short time
accomplish splendid results in this
direction.
