Robert Tafts VIII BE
Real Source Of Interest.
To be sure, there are the Robert
Tafts. Mrs. Taft's son and daughter
in-law, established here in war wsrk,
who will be an interest and a con-
nection here for her. Little Mrs.
Robert Taft. who was Martha Bow
ers. has been here all winter, and
has been active in Red Cross work
and with the Girl Scouts. She has
always been one OF the thoroughly
nice" girls OF whom everybody had
golden opinions, but I never useo
to think her particularly pretty.
When T have seen her this winter,
however, she has been as pretty as

in-law. Mrs. Thomas W. Bowers.

Mr.. and Mrs. Ben HELEN, OF this

together at Spring Lake, New Jer-

there with the babies. their husbands
planning to join them for week-ends

Mrs. Taft. ST. is spending the sum-

the family always used to go until
Mr.. Taft became President and had

borders of the. United States. The
Boardmans-Mrs. William III. and
Miss Mabel Boardman. OF Red Cross
fame--are there too. having built
cottage there. and are renting their
big place. "Windycliffe." at Man
chester. TO the Dennis Upsons. Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph ChOate. jr.. OF New York.
are also OF the Murray Bay summer
colony. and undoubtedly former Presi-

at least OF the sumner there with his
wife and daughter. and enjoy the
goifing on the course, Of which he
used TO be particularly fond.
